LOL! Another folks looking for thicker oil?
You shall seriously consder doing an oil analysis to see how your engine is "wearing" with the type/brand of 5W30 oil you are using in your Tundra before you casually jump into conclusions.

Not inclusive of all oils on the market today, but something I put together for another thread here on BITOG:

Great information... saved... so it's a keeper.

Very nice AndyH. Thanks!
However the data showing different for TropArtic, Motorcraft, and Kendall, assuming these were all SM oils, makes me wonder if perhaps there is some kind of blend difference between the trio.
Any ideas?

edit: After looking again, Cono and TropArtic are the same, but Motorcraft does appear to be somewhat thicker..... Ideas?
We need an edit button
Well after some investigation i found on the 'Motorcraft' website that they refer to Motorcraft Premium Synthetic Blend oil and Super Premium Motor Oil. They list the Premium synthetic Blend in 5w20 only but list the super premium (Leaving out the words synthetic and blend) in 5w30 and 10w30. However my local auto part stores have both 5w30 and 10w30 as well as 5w20 "Premium Synthetic Blend" oil.
A sign of things to come or a FUBAR on Motorcrafts part?
