Just got done doing a trip up alot of mountains hauling my TH and full load , my temps were pretty high oil at 260f , coolant hit 230f on and off , it wasnt the whole.time but when climbing and it was hot outside . Im not used to high temps on my cars like this.
Alot of different opinions about wear and oil i switched to 30w because i tow heavy and climb alot of mountains ,seen my oil temps get really high. I dont have very many miles on my truck but when i did switch to 30w it did quiet the valve train
I think the engineers are doing a balancing act for what is minimum protection with also saving fuel . I tow 8k TH w SxS need all the protection for the heat stress my engine sees i also live in AZ
i have 2022 BH i tow 19 ft TH with SxS i get about 11.5 sometimes better depends if i camp in mountains or desert ,i have 3.23 gears , im glad i did the 33g tank upgrade the 23 g sucked while towing
I have 6700 miles on mine and it does the same thing when it sits for a week i only drive mine on weekends. I just put in 5w 30 mobil 1 , see how that helps mine
