OLD Toyota

[JFK]

If it is an old Toyota and leaking at the rear main seal their is probably a groove in the crank. It will more than likely need a crank saver sleeve pressed on and a new rear main seal installed.

A 1/4 of a quart per 3000 is not bad. Keep an eye on it though because when a rear main seal does go they will pump out all the oil in minutes.

We always used 15W40 and the big Dodge V8 oil filter, ph 8 I think it was.
You have to watch with those trucks, the frames break behind the cab.
Lift kits made from wood, welded gears, the poor man's posi and 255/85/16s.
Drive it 3 years, spend a thousand bucks and get another one.

i think you should minimal use 15w40 oil. why? because when i see all comment and found that ur old toyota really is too old, my suggest use M1 delvac MX 15w40 and start to check every seals in ur engine. actually what type of engine u use? 1KD-FTV? 2KD-FTV? or something else?

I would do what dlundblad said.

I'd use this, the price and convenience can't be beat, 10w 40 M1 high mileage at walmart:
