What's the difference?

[Billbert]

Does anyone know the difference (besides advertising hype) between M1 5w30 and M1 5w30 Truck and SUV?

Probably the cool tough macho truck label on the bottle. I am using QTP 4X4 oil in my 4 Runner...it had a cool 4x4 on the label. I am afraid to use it in my car.

Note: I am only using the 4x4 oil because WM had it on closeout for $9 for a 5qt jug and I got a $10 rebate on it.

The specs are almost identical.....

From M1 site: "It contains extra anti-oxidant, which can provide greater protection against deposit formation in hard-working gasoline trucks, vans, SUVs and recreational vehicles."

If you believe the datsheet:

M1 / M1 T&S

pour -48 /-54
density .80 / .86

M1 T&S also doesnt carry honda ht06,RWC approval nor GM 4718M

I dont think that M1 density is correct.

If it's -54f, the only thing I'll be pouring is some Jack.,,,
