synthetic oil in my new Tundra?
I will need to do the first oil change in my new Tundra fairly soon here.
I'm inclined to go with Mobil One. Any reason not to? The few extra dollars is not an issue (not that I'm rich, just that an extra $40 a year doesn't matter if it's better for my engine). -jeff |

If you live in a cold climate like I do it's the best thing for it...... for
this reason alone is why our Yukon XL and Jeep Wrangler gets it..... @ -20 to -30 below zero, it takes a little too long for my likings for regular dino oil to make it's way thru the motor on start up.....

Synthetics also have far better hot temperature viscosity control and
stability. Good idea if you tow with it or cruise the Tehachapi Loop often. Plus you *might* notice just a small amount better gas mileage.

synthetic oil in my new Tundra?
Hi Jeff:
I'm a heavy user of synthetic since I put it in my motorcycle! Not that it requires it, but after the warrantee timed out, KTM (make) sent me synthetic oil (and a back pack). Now, I know I've read a long time ago that Mobil One was one of the worst synthetics, and that some conventional oils were better! I think Foxhead was one. I use Amsoil now, which I think is one of the bests, if not THE best. The bike shifts so much easier, cranks and starts faster, stays cleaner, etc. Harry |

hi-MOBIL 10/40W was the "old standard".

"just that an extra $40 a year ..." makes me say that you'll break even
or even come out ahead just in better gas milage. Which option are you thinking about? If you go for the longest oil change interval option, (15,000 miles) you'll save down time as well. With superior filters, ie. Ea this shouldn't be a problem. |
