Yeah the motor was KWICK'd with the RL 20w50 ... he turns red when I tell him I run the Rotella. I'm far from expert, but when I've run Amsoil or Redline in any of the ZRX's the capacity decreases after a few hundred miles of hard rippin' but the same does not happen when I'd ran the T6 5w40...

Just checked online and my local WalMart has the T6 15w40 at $19.97/gallon ... gonna make a run and pickup a couple of gallons. The ZRX has been eating up the Redline; tired of topping off at $15/quart. Can anyone confirm the ZRX1200R takes the Wix 24941?

Would not a dirty dipstick or dirty PYB oil change indicate that the detergents in the oil are working? How can oil get dirty if it's not by pulling dirt/varnish/sludge out of a dirty motor?

Congratulations, nice work.

I am 46 with a mustache and a beard. I don't concern myself with other men's grooming or style habits.

I can argue with physics.

Thanks fellas, much appreciated!

Originally Posted By: kschachn Well, then the only problem is that 0W-20 is not specified by the manufacturer for your vehicle. Originally Posted By: philobeddoe Yes, Toyota specifies 5w30 with 5000 mile OCI's. Yes, I understand that, but I prefer the advice of strangers on the Internet to...

Originally Posted By: kschachn Toyota specifies a 5W-30 in your 1GR-FE engine, right? Towing or not towing? According to ExxonMobil you can use 0W-30 in any application of 5W-30. 5000 mile limit too I think. Yes, Toyota specifies 5w30 with 5000 mile OCI's.

Hey Fellas, I just traded my 2008 Prius for a 2010 Tacoma Sport 4x4 Double Cab Short Bed, 4.0L VVTi V6 and 5spd Auto Transmission. I asked the dealer about break in and break in oil and was told they break them in at the factory, and change the oil. Being that I cannot verify the veracity of...
