5th Gen Oil Recommendation? New Owner!
I often wonder what it is about automotive lubricants that seems to bring out the latent OCD in so many people. Except among the truly afflicted, you never see these sorts of discussions about which toothpaste or insecticide or cooking oil to use -- only motor oil (and, among T4R enthusiasts, transfer case and diff oil).
The correct answer, of course, is that IT DOESN'T MATTER.
Number of incidences of catastrophic engine wear or failure specifically attributable to using one brand of oil over another: zero.
Number of such failures avoided by changing oil more often than the factory-recommended interval: zero.
