I have switched to a 0W-30 Major Brand Top Tier 100% Fully all Synthetic Oil for better fuel economy,quicker oil lubrication at start up, more piston ,Ring, and Piston Skirt, and lifters and cam lobes lubrication and protection. Lubricates tighter tollerences . I checked with all as Mobil1,AMSOIL,Castrol,and a few others on my 2013 4.0 V6 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner DCLB A.T. and all say it is safe and better to use than 5W-30 and 10W-30 Synthetics Oils ! Quicker cold start and faster lube in hot enviroments. Try it out and check with Oil Manufacturers also!
 
That will work!!! Have been using NAPA/ Valvoline in my 09 Tacoma 2.7l 4 cyl. Every quart you buy... NAPA gives to our VETS :))

I use synthetic royal purple 5w-30 high mileage (since my truck has almost 200k) and I get my oil filters from the dealership. I personally thinks that's the best oil for your truck.

Same filter... oem, i just happen to be a mobil fan. Not dissing any others, or saying 1is better than other.
Just personal decision is all.

Using AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-30 100% Full Synthetic, change with a new filter every 10,000 -15,000 miles !

Smart move.
 
Immediately after using Royal Purple, I noticed a drop in the rpm gauge. Normal rpm is around 3500 before R.Purple and it's now maintaining around 2500. The ride does seem and feel smoother. I'm no mechanic guru and a bit iffy about the situation. Hope I didn't mess anything up.

There should not be an RPM drop. I don't see 3500 at 80.
 
Sounds like I got something to worry about. 3500 rpm is roughly about 85-90ish on a 40 mile commute. I tend to have a bit of a lead foot from time to time. But there's definitely a drop in rpm and that's from Mobile 1 to Royal Purple. Guess I have researching to do when I return from Japan.

If you have a lead foot you may not be letting the converter lock up.
