Hi.. i'm new to the forums but been lurking around for a few months already...
I just wanted to ask regarding oil for the 4.0L engine.. the oil cap recommends 10w30.. my question is would it be alright to use 0w30 all year round on the 4.0L engine? From what i've read 0w30 and 10w30 operates at the same 30 weight on operating temp.. primary difference is on cold start.. the 0w30 tends to flow better on cold start...
Any experts here would comment on using 0w30 on the 4.0L engine that requires 10w30?
I just did my oil change recently and decided to put amsoil signature series 0w30 on our 4.0L engine.. so far no problems.. not sure about the fuel consumption yet since we have been using the heater more lately and remote starting the car when needed.. so with more heater being used and remote starting the car.. i can't comment if the fuel consumption is better or worst since 0w30 should give a better fuel consumption...
if its alright to use 0w30, would running 0w30 all year round on the 4.0L engine be alright?
Also change the tires on our van recently.. it had 60k km on the odometer .. we got the primacy mxv4 and its worth the money.. its pretty quiet comparing to the yokohama avids33 and falken912.. apparently we had to get 2 falken 912 because one of the yokohama avids33 had a lump that was getting pretty big .. the falken 912 are not so bad but after we had the primacy mxv4.. my dad noticed that the car runs way quieter...
thanks!
