Mobil1 0W-40 along with 90915-20004 filter is a great combination.

I been using Kragen/Shucks/Checker brand oil and I re-use the old filter. Just hose it out with compressed air and stuff kleenex down inside the holes. The start-up rattle is horrible and it smells like burning hair.

I'm thinking of switching to M1 0W40 and the 20004 filter.

 

[Bear80]

M1 15-50 and K&N HP3001

Funny, after all the years I've owned my 80, I just noticed TODAY (2/1/06), that on my oil cap it states 5W30 for oil weight. I originally bought the truck in Connecticut but now live in South Florida and switched to 5W40 Rotella T. Maybe a 10W40/50 is best for Florida?

 

[tacomafj-80]

M-1 10-30 synthetic every 3k with a fram 3600 filter. going to switch to OEM filter next time.

 

[NorCalDoug]

Just a note for all you noobs who might start looking for the OEM oil filter, part number 90915-20004, it is no longer in production and you won't likely find a dealership with any on the shelf.

If you want/need OEM oil filters, I suggest that you give CruiserDan a call and get a recommendation from him.

 

[AU Kruzr]

Mobile 1, fully syn, extended life and OEM filter...

Now if someone can just help me with an easier method og gtting the darn filter off and on!!!!!!!

 

[tacomafj-80]

the filter is an abortion to remove! My tacoma was the same until i did the SAS

 

[Montana Cruiser]

M1 and Napa Gold(Wix) filter ..... although the M1 is getting more and more spendy all the time, might be time to consider Rotella, going to have to go back and search and reread the seemingly endless threads on this subject myself
