It depends on your operating temperature. Shell Rotella 15-40w seems to be working fine for hot climate with 5000km oil change.

Are you Antartica or the Simpson Desert? Toyota recommend on a wide variety of viscosities depending on the ambient temps encountered.
I suspect you are in Australia and Toyota's own oil is 15-50 from the dealer.

1998 1HZ-T Troopy

Top half of Australia - Penrite 20W - 60 and filter every 5000km

 

[Roo308]

Sorry in South Australia . Cheers went for 20w60 working great . No more rattle on start up

 

[dadinabarrel]

Good stuff, pretty bloody hot where you are as well. Lucky we have Cooper's Pale eh...

 

[roscoFJ73]

I tried the 20-60. Maybe I was imagining it , but it felt sluggish.

 

[dadinabarrel]

You must have used the Nissaan 20-60

 

[Roo308]

Tiny bit sluggish but would rather have that and motor protected instead of thinner oil and rattle til it circulates . You have sold me good stuff ! Bundy time !

Which oil did you end up deciding on for you car ? Is it still sluggish ? Mine feels tighter same power just have to get used to it now

 

[dadinabarrel]

I just glow it, turn the key, sit for 1min, then drive

 

[Roo308]

Yeah did that today runs really well now very happy . Just when things going well time to do transfer front oil seal lol never ending.

 

[dadinabarrel]

Haha yeah, it's an obsession

I just bought new pads, rotors and bearings for front and back, 4 x new HD tie rod ends (with nipples) and a new tough dog steering damper, I don't actually need any of it, I'm future proofing the next couple of years.

After that it's just do the swivel joints (also not needed ) and I've got a whole new car.

Just got a sick front armour plate for my front diff in the mail, that'll be next job

Love my troopy...

They sell HD swivel joint kits and bearing/bush upgrades for the HZJ75 as well.
