Old sample that was finally tested. This included pulling our cargo trailer from Savannah, GA to Alaska with a couple of tourist stops through the southwest. She got warm, 232F, EGT stayed around 1350F, on I-5's long grades. No slowing down! Tare weight was 11,630 lbs. I will stay with 5w-40 from here on out.
