ADDING TO OIL CHANGE CONFUSION

[Wild one]

Hi Dave, where did you find the Lubeguard in Canada? The only place I've found it so far is Amazon.ca and it's $50 for a 15 oz jug.

What’s a pan heater? Kidding. But seriously. I think the coldest I saw last year was in the upper 30°f for less than a day. Not enough to even freeze anything. That engine calls for 5w20. Penzoil ultra is what I run but I run 5w30 instead. Not sure why one place recommended 0w40. I mean I do know why but I don’t at the same time. I ran the Fram xg2 filter on my truck before installing the remote filter mount. I still run the xg2 now that I’ve swapped back to a stock setup remote filter mount. I contemplated running the srt filter but I don’t remember if it’s synthetic media or paper and I’m to lazy to search the pages to find out.

I wouldn't run that **** in a lawnmower... lol..

My wife’s new rav4 specs 0w16… but has a lifetime power train warranty and free oil changes twice a year for 4 years… so until I’m doing the oil changes it’ll get 0w16. At least Toyota specs full synthetic 0w16.

Not sure why some are afraid to run PUP 0w40 in the winter, I looked the pour point of both 0w20 & 0w40, was surprised that 0w40 had a lower pour point then 0w20 by 3 degrees, the pour point of 0w20 is -48, the pour point of 0w40 is -51, I see not reason it cant be used year round being a lot of engines ran 5w oil in sub zero temps for many years before 0w oil was available....

Toyota probbaly designed the Engine to run on it. Unlike FAC just trying to pretend the HEMI is fuel efficient by telling people to run the worst oil you can for that engine and adding useless MDS.

They used to spec 0w20 for the same engine in the 2022 model. She bought the 2023 model and that’s when they started specing the 0w16

My wife's 2021 Highlander takes 0w16 oil, but I have heard of some dealers using 0w20...

Thanks for the link. I'll call them later today to see if shipping to Ontario will be too costly.

If Homeland Security would just open the damned border without all the included stupidity, I could just drive 25 minutes to Walmart in Ogdensburg NY, or my post office box, just like I have for ages.


BTW, my Tundra usually sounded awful during cold starts using 5W20 with any temperature below about -25C. And that's on the warm end of the scale when we have a serious cold snap.
