Trophy 20w50 jaso 4t topoff oil for 5.2 Dodge

[Rmay635703]

Just curious

I have an 01 Dodge that seems to consume oil if I use 5w30 starting around 1000 city miles (5w40 and 10w30 seem to do much better)

About a quart, I find using a heavier topoff oil slows consumption and I have inherited cases of Jaso 4t from my father

I decided to dump in about a half quart of it

Any issues using this stuff as topoff oil?

My Dodge seems to be pretty agnostic to oil but it’s likely just a step above SAE30 ND but I don’t use enough in small gas engines to use it up and was looking for other places to dispose of it if I start driving the Dodge more it should drink it up pretty fast if I try to also use up my 5w30

Thanks
Ryan

Why not just use 10W30 -- what was recommended for it in the first place?

I have ran 10w30 but

Manual doesn’t spec it and I have a bunch of cheap 5w30 laying around that should get used up.

I ran 20w50 in my 82 Diesel Suburban, seemed fine year round

Your engine will never notice the difference.
