Tundra oil

For $23.xx on sale, this oil has bunch of tough to beat fancy Euro approvals.

Pennzoil Platinum Euro L 5W30 in Wal Mart is better oil and actually $1-2 cheaper. Mobil1 ESP 0W30 and 5W30 are also better choices and go for $24 often.

Our Wal-Mart used to have PP Euro L but no more. I had bought it before for our DI engine.

For now they are carrying M1 ESP 0W-30 which is on my list for our DI. I heard it's on sale but haven't been there. Moving forward, I am thinking of using it in our DI for good.

I have 2011 5.7L Tundra with 110K miles that I bought last October and I'm about do do my first oil change. It was done at the dealership where I bought it, just before I bought it. After reading in the Tundra forums, I'm kinda confused on what oil to run. So, I thought I'd try here. In my Tacoma I run the Mobil 1 5W-30, either the Truck/SUV blend or regular synthetic blend.
A lot of people run 5-W30 in the Tundras, but they don't say why they do. They just state that the motor runs quieter. There's a lot of debate on in the forums on whether to run the 5W-30 or not.
Both, my oil cap and manual say 0W-20 or 5W-20. Both Mobil 1 and Aimsoil recommend the same as well, online when you put in your vehicle info.
I'm just wondering if it's safe to use 5W-30 or should I just stick to either 0W-20 or 5W-20? I've read that it also depends on your climate. I live in southern California and it can get up to 110+ in the summer. So, I'm thinking of running 5W-20 in the winter and 5W-30 in the summer.

I've been running M1 0w40 FS in my 4.7 4Runner for years. All oil samples have come back downright boring and noneventful (ie: great!)

I run Amsoil 5w30 SS in my truck. 92k on it no issues

Two pages and no Valvoline Restore and Protect recommendation yet??

OP, I'd run VRP 5W-30 for 4 OCIs to get it cleaned up. Unless you have receipts, you don't know what the PO did. I'd bet on dealer or quick lube bulk oil which is what 80-85% of the US uses. There's a $5/jug rebate going on now through August.
