0W-20 vs. 5W-30 Oil with test results

[AdFour]

Well we have some tests that compare the two. You sticking to 0w-20 or going to something else?




Lets keep it professional.

I feel like you're not getting the drama you anticipated ...

This is an outrage?
Viscosity stuff.

There I helped.

I was hoping he’d say that increasing the number of oil changes would help. I guess we need to take samples and adjust accordingly.

I love this guy's videos

Let me start the fight, I mean discussion by saying 0w-20 is clearly better (JK)

Lets keep it professional.

What size tire …………

The next logical step from 0W-20 is 0W-30, not 5W-30!

I like to mix them so EVERYONE can criticize me. I shoot for 2W/24.

Thats how I'd approach it, but he did say he plans to release more data from everyone sending in oil samples. So more to come I hope..

i mean from a technical standpoint,

0WXX is tested for cold cranking at -35C (-31F) and for pumpability at -40C (-40F).
5WXX is tested for cold cranking at -30C (-22F) and for pumpability at -35C (-31F).

for ND winters -40F is about the most extreme temps we would ever see, personally i've only seen -31F ambient in the last 35yrs.

the 20 or 30 is the thickness at roughly operating temp

i think faster intervals are better long term wise for the oil in this new turbo engine. i was at a 5k interval on the 23 tundra but i will be dropping it to 4k intervals now along with the new 4R

My BMW Z3 M coupe required 10w60.

Any relevance to this thread? nope.

 

[Josalbrec6G]

There is nothing relevant in this thread.

I’m sticking to the mfg recommendation for oil, but at lower mileage changes. Already had one oil change at 1k.

For warranty reasons I am sticking with the recommended 0W-20 but changing every 5000 miles instead of the 10,000 the dealer recommends.
