i did, its clean oil. i'm talking about the thickness of the oil, onolder engines, why would u put oil that is like water? but like i said, it doesnt really matter what thick oil u use.

arent i right? oil is oil? :)

na, 40w-70 is not bad. Thicker oil is good for older engines. Ask any real mechanic and they will all tell u the same ... oil is oil.

is a flush necessary, or do i just change the oil?

so wen i hit the 1k mile mark, do i just frain the 40w-70 oil and add the correct one? or am i supposed to use a "flush"?

so wat could happen cause he used 40w-70 insteaad of 5w-30???? my 4R still feels fine.

so i let my brother change my oil cause i didnt have time and he use 40w-70 ... :O is that okay??

okay, i'm just gonna do a regular oil change but change it at 1k miles next time, check how it is and continue with 5k mile oil change :) thnx for all ur help guys! :)

so should i do a flush cause i went 11k?? or not necessary?

cool, so should i get 5w-30, or 10w-30, which would be better?

and wat are the numbers on the bottle for? the thickness of the oil?? i'm in los angeles california, so most mornings are about 60F degrees wen i start my 4runner. any recommendations on which oil to use?

okay :) can anyone name me a few good name brands .... yes, i'm new to all this :/

so mobil 1 5w-30 would be the best oil out there for my 4runner???

i heard that flushes could clog up some parts, thats why i am hesitant to do it :/

Hey guys, What is the best oil for my 2001 4runner 3.4L v6?? it has 164k miles on it, and last time i changed the oil was about 11k miles ago. Those 11k miles worry me about sludge ... should i do a engine flush, or should i get the best oil (one that cleans sludge...do those even...
