That’s why I use a 40-weight.

I’ve been towing a camper (8k lbs) with this truck for 5 years now and this past summer was the hottest I’ve seen the oil temps going through the Appalachian Mountains. 284F engine and 195F transmission.

You’ll be fine. I switched to 0w40 a few years ago without any issues

My truck has the same noise
