Seeking oil recommendation for a 1990 Montero with the 6 cylinder 3.0 (6G72). 130k miles. Previous oils used are unknown.
Considering 15w-40 Delo 400, 10w-30 Delo 400, and 10-40 Mobil 1 high-mileage (all available at local WalMart, and all have elevated ZDDP - although unsure if that's even necessary). I have the usual concern that the synthetic Mobil 1 may enhance any existing leaks (haven't noticed major ones, but haven't had the rig long either).
Or, other ideas?
Most of the vehicle operation will be in 35-85 degree whether. Although, lows in the 20s and highs a bit over 100 are occasionally possible depending on where I am.
