If it\u2019s a Toyota it will run just fine even with chewing gum instead of oil, a Subaru will explode one mile past the due service mark.
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
On chilly winter mornings (SF Bay Area) the car did not like reverse or first gears. Subsequently switched to Red Line engine oil. More power, better mileage.
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).
Ran Redline 5w40 when it became purely a summer car in ~2013. ... Not seals are leaking, no issues of any form. Car has been Cobb stage 2 91oct tuned (OTS, not pro-tuned) almost 14 years, with a Crawford v2 AOS, Killer B oil pickup + windage tray being the only reliability mods, and it doesn't burn a single molecule of oil.
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.
2004 Toyota Avensis
Thing just guzzles oil. I believe the model I had was manufactured in England.
Had to top up the oil every 3000kms
