Quick question for you. What oil weight, type, and brand do you recommend for a '79 FJ40 with 86k on it. Driven a couple of times a week, only occasionaly offroad. I would like to use the same oil on my '90 Ford F-150 4x4 with 120k if there is a suitable oil for both rigs. Thanks for the help.

you could run 10/30W year round without any problem others might differ. Brands depend on the person. I know those who swear by Penzoil and those who recommend the Quaker state blen for older engines. Read the FAQ posted above, it should help.

Thanks for the info. I have a bunch of 10-40 Castrol high mileage but I can always take it back and get something else. I'll do some reading up on it.
It was the Castrol High Mileage I was thinking of.
10/30W might be better. There are lots of opinions.

I think 5w-30's about the right stuff all the time - it's relatively thin cold so it coats the internals fast, and it's thick enough to work well warm, but not unnecessarily thick so it increases fuel consumption.
