I am thrilled with my new to me 2018 Tundra 5.7. tomorrow I'm planning my first oil change.
Backstory, I still have my 2003 3.4 Tacoma (engine blew at 125k for no apparent reason) rebuilt a junk yard engine and now we are at 305k. I used PYB 5w30 for a long time in that truck and then switched to PP and sometimes high mileage PP always in 5w30.
A while back Walmart never had PP on the shelf and I used M1 high mileage (or some variation of M1) at times. I was very pleased with it. No oil consumption and seemed to be running great.
So anyway here I sit. Time to change the oil in my new to me Tundra. I bought a new motivX filter canister wrench and the motivX fancy funnel and a Toyota cartridge filter. Tomorrow morning I'm buying the oil (or buying online pickup in parking lot) at a big blue box store.
My gut is leaning towards buying M1 extended performance 0w20 which is the recommended weight. I'm sure PP in 0w-20 would be fantastic as well and it's a few dollars cheaper than M1. I need 2 jugs.
Any reason to pick one over the other besides the price? I'm sure either will meet expectations but it's my new truck and I want to go top shelf.
Can't wait to change the oil!
