A fleet maintenance manager I know swears by blending oils to get a good mix of detergents and additives to prevent sludging. I been reading up on the different oil additives and think I might start doing a blend in my oil changes. I've got a 2018 Tundra with a 5.7 and I think I'll start with next oil change.
Yeah… that ain’t it brother. If somehow your “maint manager” friend knows better than the thousand or so chemical and mechanical engineers at Mobile, I’ll eat this rig for lunch. Change your oil, change your PCV. The inside of this engine is pristine, I know because I’ve scoped it. Burn off happens, no matter what oil, to some degree. At 225k miles, a 1/4” orifice is gonna get clogged up. I’ve seen them completely stopped up at 75k on neglected engines.
@@DirtE30 Well, I think he might be onto something. I was just making a general comment. If you want to be a dick about it that's fine. You do you buddy.
Good video, aside from it being about a PCV valve and not an EGR valve like it states, however…my tundra, also a 5.7 used to eat oil on Mobil 1, I experimented with a lot of oils, I came across this article (540 RAT) it’s a motor oil engineering test data, good read. Turns out that Quaker State full synthetic oil has the best protection available of any oil, #2 was Amsoil….mine just turned 100k, I’m always ahead of everything on maintenance, it’s a tank and my baby….so as for the EGR, I’ve been hearing all the nightmares of clogs etc., this was my reason for searching and found your video….I have added an oil catch can to replace that PCV valve, at every oil change I empty it out and you won’t believe the crap it collects, based on that 1/4 hose you were going to vacuum out, you should probably look into one, they are fairly cheap on eBay….I love emptying it out and seeing all that gunk that I prevented from going back into my engine.
