3qts of Toyota 0W16. Bought a case when I mentioned it at the dealer (when it wasn't in their system) and wanted to experiment an OCI on my truck. Thought about it and it's gotta be crazy thin for a truck engine. So I ended up mixing it with 4qts 5W30 + 3qts 0W16 to make a thin 30W oil.

My hunch is 1975-ish. They are all 10W, which was part of my winter brew in my 64 VW. Chicago winters were pretty cold then.

I'm trying to think what oil in cans with cardboard sides I purchased and used in that time frame. Iirc, I think I bought a case of Gulf Motor Oil on sale at a Zayre store, likely 10w30.
Thanks for the reply.

I've used up my stash and keep 1 oil changes worth of filters and oil in reserve so that way I have the latest inventory / spec's when I go to use it.

SJ/GF3 is the spec for my truck.
SM is the spec for my Scion.
SL for the rest of the vehicles I service
All my oil is SN so will work just fine for me and all the vehicles I service.
The only issue I may ever have is if I buy a DI engine in the next 2 years that specs SN+ oil, but I have no plans for that (next vehicle will probably be a '17/'18 Grand Caravan or a '16/'17 Sorento/Santa Fe in a year or so, and those are SM/SN) ...
I keep saying I will let my stash shrink, but then they keep throwing oil at me for super cheap (like the Pennzoil clearance at Walmart with a stacked rebate, they paid me to get it).
Maybe I will banish myself from this site from Nov to Jan so I am not tempted. LOL. I have tried to stop going to the sales/rebates sub-forum, but it is hard.
