So I put M1 0w40 in a Toyota 1.5. I wanted to test out some microgreen oil filters and see how long I can go with 1 oil change. Thought I'd just go 15k on each filter if everything looks good after a 10k mile sample and leave the oil in for as long as it samples good.
If I can get 25k or so out of it I'll just keep doing the same oci minus uoas for as long as it lives.
A couple friends have pitched a fit because they don't think 0w40 has any business being in this little engine.
Anyway the oil cap calls for 5w30 so I didn't think it would really be a big difference and I wanted to use a robust oil to do the experiment with.
They think a w20 is what it should have in it
Just getting some input on here is all. Thanks
