2006 OB L.L.Bean 3.0R First oil Change


Recommended Posts

I'm sure this had been covered before but after 2 hrs of looking through threads I cant take it anymore! haha

 

I owned a 05' LGT before this and used Rotella T6 5w-40. it's almost time for me to change the oil on this one and i was wondering if anyone had any experience using the Rotella in the 3.0R motors. i drive all highway and go 5000 on an oil change.

 

thanks in advance!

I've used the T6 5W-40 on my 3.0 and the only thing I noticed was a 2MPG decrease in mileage when I changed. I posted my results on here and everyone thought I was nuts, but it was reproducible every time. When I switched back to 5W30, my mileage came back. When I switched to T6 it dropped by exactly 2MPG.

What climate do you live in? It may be a bit thick for below freezing weather.

I'm in upstate NY so right now it's COLD. lol

 

I let it warm up for 5 min's in the AM. i dont mind having the protection of a slightly thicker oil. im not afraid of heavy oil at all anyway. i run 20w-50 Brad Penn in my Evo. but that's not exactly stock.
