I was hoping to try this in my 1997 LX450 (Land Cruiser with inline 6)but my Wal-Mart only seems to carry the 10w-30 and the 15W-50. I am currently using Truck and SUV and may just keep using it since I can't get the new 10W-40 for a good Wal-Mart 5 quart price.
My question is could you mix 15W-50 and 10W-30 extended protection and get close to the same mix as the 10W-40 Extended protection? I wonder if the 10W-40 is a different blend then the others as Mobil 1 says (on their web site)it is good for higher milleage engines and the 10W-30 and 15W-50 do not mention this???
Thanks for the help

Local WM here carry it? Ask
Do they cary the Extended Protection fully synthetic 10W-40 or just the dino version that is good for 5k per their label? I found the dino vertion but not the Extended Protection version good for 15K.
Thanks
Have you tried other parts stores such as AutoZone? They carry M1 oils for about the same price as WalMart...
Give it a while, they'll probably get to it. Last I was there they were switching a lot of oils around. I was at the local K-Mart yesterday, looks like they have **** near all the oil on clearance except Mobil 1 (drat!).
I've looked for the shelf label at a few various places but no tag even exists for it.
I found it at AutoZone for just over $5 a quart so I am going to give it a try (10W-40 Extended Protection).
Thanks for the help.
