Which viscosity for 2001 Toyota Tacoma

[jsharp]

Here are 5 UOA's from my 2000 4Runner which has the same 3.4L V6

Oldest 2 are M1 5W-30
Next 2 are GC 0W-30
Last one is M1R 0W-30

All of these oils work fine in that engine. I doubt you'll do any better using a 10W-30 or something heavier.

Ummm well yeah my local Dr.T says 20W-60 for this beast. It's got all the "cojones" you need.

Good thing those engines have a gear reduction starter that will pull the truck and start it in gear.

Yea, that's one of the reasons I bought this truck.

Thanks again for all the replies!

I've been using GC 0W30 the past 30K miles in my 3.4L Tacoma. It's as quiet as a sewing machine!
