I was planning on doing an oil change in my 1991 3FE FJ80 now that it's finally above freezing.
I ran 10W30 last year in the summer and planned to use it again. I used 5W30 this winter, just based off the owner's manual from 1991.
I went to the town mechanic (only shop for 500 km) and asked for 10 L of 10W30. He said he hasn't seen it in 10-15 years (lies! haha).
In the absence of 10W30, what kind of oil should I run? They've got 0w40, 5w30, 5w40 and 15w40.
Can I make any of these work, or should I just send away from some 10W30 or 10W40?
I've read the oil viscosity threads, but I just want some frank advice here.
Temperatures will be around 15-30 Celsius this summer.
