Oil is lubricating and engine and a turbocharger for the T24a-fts engine. Running oil change intervals out to 10k is a concern, especially if towing or hauling some weight..

And changing the oil more often than the factory service interval would help reduce the potential an oil falling out of spec, from shearing and fuel dilution.

I can’t find a console safe that fits a govt length 1911.. I have a tethered and locked container for the truck and keep my legally permitted CCW firearms on my hip when I drive

Yes, and if an engine is poorly designed or has a poorly designed oil system, it can show signs of accelerated wear, regardless of viscosity. On a separate note, what turbocharger manufacturer is a fan of 0w20??

All the oil viscosity options oils are suitable but for various temperatures, with significant overlap. Thinner oils are more thermally conductive but generally fail at temperatures that thicker oils can still provide film strength. When towing near Yuma in August, I’ll run an oil spec that...

For countries that don’t force fuel economy upon the entire manufacturer’s vehicle platforms…. From the vehicle manufacturer’s own suggestion(s)…

Respectfully, I don’t think it’s a leap.. that is why Toyota engineers offer a variance on oil spec in similar climates, but not the United States- hence the logical argument of Russia having very cold weather and Toyota suggesting 0w20, and southern Russia is warmer and suggesting 5w30. But...

As you wrote, this undermines Dennis’s argument.. and again, my contention that Toyota only recommends 0w20 for CAFE rating. To the credit of Dennis, he want more than my anecdotal evidence, and he is correct. When oil samples are tested for this engine, making a comparison, then we will have...

The point is if 0w20 is a superior oil, why would Toyota not require for all world markets? As Lake said, it’s about mileage for the CAFE rating that the United States imposes upon automotive manufacturers that sell vehicles in the United States market.

Then to your point, why has Toyota not published the required use of 0w20 only? I ask you, Because other countries under various climate such as Thailand, UAE, Mexico, Russia, Japan, etc, Toyota has published thicker oil viscosity recommendations based upon the temperature ranges- for example...

Has anyone claimed that Toyota is incorrect? Or have they just contented that Toyota is attempting to meet CAFE ratings for their entire platform Of vehicles within the United States, therefore similar climates over various countries allow for something different than 0w20? Mind you, by Toyota’s...

Exactly and the best example is creating direct injection and the majority of “OEM” manufacturers never addressing the carbon buildup on engines for another decade. Oh, then there’s the multiple automotive manufacturers modifying their software to increase mileage at the expense of...

Feelings.com, right or did you write something similar instead of countering an opinion with an ad hominem reply-

As mentioned to you before: Toyota OEM validation in Russia for the identical engine is 0w20- for Cold climates, and up to 5w30 for above -17 degrees Fahrenheit.. you dismissed this before. Also, As mentioned to you before: Toyota’s Mexico OEM recommendations allow for up to a 10w30...

Yup, you ain’t wrong!! 🍿 he came to defend his opinion with an ad hominem

You can answer your own question about the owner’s manual recommendations for the Tacoma United States owner’s manual vs an owner’s manual recommendation from 200 miles south. No one is claiming to change your oil at the border, that claim you made is a bad faith argument. When reviewing other...

You are spot on…

The base line of thinner viscosity oils is more thermally conductive but fails at a lower temperature? That baseline? Or the baseline of oil options being different based upon regional climate, that is outside the United States, where CAFE rating policy isn’t what drives oil viscosity...

The empirical data you demand, you fail to present for your own argument, so I don’t give your demand much relevance since it doesn’t apply to oneself.. It is demonstrably proven that thinner viscosity oils are more thermally conductive but fail at a lower temperature/ addressing your wear and...
