Who is using 10w-30?

Can you actually still buy that stuff?

Yes - Walmart almost always has a selection.

At the risk of sounding super young, I've only had cars that recommended 5w30 or 0w20...

It seems to me that you have identified yourself as middle-aged. Young people wouldn't recognize 5w-30. Super young people don't know what an oil change is.

10w30 in my 25 ram.

I see a "Premium Blue" when I'm there but never a "Premium Blue Restore", did it get relabeled?

I have a partial jug of Mobil 1 10W-30 in my stash. For the life of me, I can't remember what I have used it for...

Been using 10w30 in my 05 Pontiac vibe

I’ve owned a bunch of different vehicles over the years and none of them have ever recommended 10w-30. The only engine I own with a 10w-30 recommendation is a Briggs and Stratton V-twin mower engine. Who is using all the 10w-30?

Both my 2000 Buick and my 2019 Kia van show 10W-30 for use above O degrees F. So I use it, getting harder to find in quality oils. No Valvoline Restore and Protect 10w30, for example.

I use Citgo Citgard 700 HDEO 10w-30 on gas and diesel equipment

Thread 'Reason for lack of 10W-30 full synthetic ?'

Sep 1, 2025

I occasionally see it in "High mileage", but at least in my immediate area there has been none in most major brands.
I'm looking for the Pennzoil platinum. I did see a small quantity of STP brand full synthetic at autozone in 10w30, either everyone is buying it or they are not stocking it.
So anything good or bad about the STP brand oil?

Just wish single weight full synthetic was available, because I am not using 5W anything in this vehicle.

I use 10-30 here in the Arizona desert in the summer where the low is 75-80 and the high gets up to 110 regularly, and 115-118 sometimes.

In that climate I would use 0W-40, 5W-40 or 15W-40.
What vehicle is that?

I've been using Chevron Supreme 10W-30 in my 1998 Nissan Frontier pick up since it was new.

I bought some at the local Cummins dealer a yr or two ago. They now might be selling the Gen2 version.

I have two older Fords that I run 10w-30. I use any name brand which I can get a deal on.

I just bought 2-5 qt jugs of Pennzoil Platinum 10W30 for the Firebird FORMULA in my signature. I've used 5W30/10W30 on & off over the 46 years. Even some 10W40/15W40 on occasion.

Synthetic 10W-30 is ready to go when you are.

I use it in the summer, have a jug that will most likely go in the wifes 2016 Patriot in a couple of weeks.

I've used 10w30 Mobil 1 in my 17 F150 several times. I remember a time that 10w30 was standard for most vehicles.
