Engine oil OEM Toyota or FUCHS
See how much metal that 08 weight pisswater has generated after only 1.3k miles? Switch to 0w30/5w30 and you'll see a drastic reduction in wear. I know I did.
Forgive me but I’m confused. The Tundra doesn’t have two separate oil reservoirs that I’m aware of and I change my own oil. Also, for what it’s worth mines been flawless since 2022 and almost 40,000 miles (not that that is a lot but just saying).
While I didn't own a 2018 (mine was 2013 hybrid -> 2022 prime), here's my short list:
Electric gives a huge increase in torque from 10-50mph
Mechanic told me the oil came out barely darker than it went in on the last change. ~80% electric miles
I’ll do the 15k oil change soon with Toyota OEM 0w-16, which is made by M1 but has a much higher moly content than the regular retail M1 oil.
My 2009 1.33 likes both 5w30 (or 0w30) and 0w20. Out of the factory they came with 5w30, but toyota later recommended the switch with the 1.33 engine. With normal use and lower speeds 0w20 is best, if you drive a lot at higher rpms than 5w30 would be better (at130kmu/3200rpm 5w30 is smoother).
I can whole heartedly recommend Fuchs Silkolene oils, it actually quieted down my sv compared to Motul.
Am bagat si eu Fuchs intr-un 3.0tdi si in romania 1L e 60 de lei cam asa dar pe [Ebay.de](http://Ebay.de) e 35 de lei litrul la fel si Aral, ciudat de ieftin. Motorul merge cam cu 10'C mai putin la ulri fata de castrol(se ducea si la 119'C pe autostrada)
On 0w16 the engine is smoother, more responsive, quieter and consuming about 0.2L to 0.5L less fuel per 100 km.
If you are using ToyotaCare, they will push 10k/1yr oil change interval. If you willing to pay for every oil change, they don't care.
2000s Toyotas. Not really unreliable, but oil burning was an issue on most of these because people did not change the oil on time.
