Which engine oil are you using?

[Willys41]

Valvoline European 5W-40. Witch is what the Maserati 3.0 v6 recommend which is the same basic motor and valve train as the 3.6.
For the first 20k I ran Valvoline 5w30 put switched 5w40 when I kept seeing the same cars and truck with the same motor sold in the USA put in other country's recommending higher viscosity oil like 5w40.
If I lived in a place that saw below 40 degrees a lot I would use 5w30. Put here in California most of the time 40 to 100+ degrees.

I make my own oil out of castor beans, like a real owner should.

There was zero reason to create this thread. Just use the search function.

I vote the mods start banning anyone who makes a "what oil should I run" thread.

I think we should ban whoever forced you to click the thread

It's good to know people's opinions, thoughts, and experiences, if you are not happy just ignore the thread. Good day.

Hey now, I clicked on it hoping someone was starting a thread with an original question, but I was sadly mistaken.

That's one way to say "I'm too lazy to use the search function".

It's a free platform, rather searching or creating new thread both ways are ok. Again u can easily ignore the thread.

How about LouAna Peanut Oil

One difference between 0w20 / 5w20 / 5w30 and 5w40.
0w20 to 5w30 they run up to 800 ppm ZDDP.
5w40 runs up to 1200 ppm ZDDP.

As long as you deep fry some delicious chicken with it as part of your UOA.

Use to out in 0w20 like I’m supposed to but I found the engine noisy with lots of clicking and ticking sounds. So for the first time last month, I decided to go with 5W30 for the summer and the sound difference is extremely noticeable at all engine temps. It now runs smooth and a lot more silent now.
