your kidding right!?................ your b4000 truck has well over 100k miles on it. Use a high milege oil by the people who invented it VALVOLINE 10W/40 MAXLIFE 5 Qts yours truely, rick
Standard heavy duty 30 weight is always good. I've seen specification for 10w-40 in manuals, though. I use 30 for everything, though. I've got 250,000 on my 94 b4000 now.
Locate thermostat, on 40 HP it is on the left side of the motor near the top of the water jacket, left side from the back. It is held on by 4 bolts. Remove the flywheel cover, then remove the four bolts holding the thermostat/poppet valve cover. Pull out the thermostat. Be sure to note of the direction in which the thermostat is facing before removal. Put in new thermostat in reverse order. You may need a new gasket.

Motorweek - 1987 Mazda MX-5 Hardtop 26-40 was released on: USA: 8 June 2007
The Mazda B2500 engine holds approx 1.5 gallons of 15w-40 diesel oil
The 1995 Toyota Tacoma thermostat housing torque specification is 40 pounds. The amount of torque on the thermostat housing bolts is not that important. You basically do not want to break the thermostat housing bolts.

It is your choice, depending on the problem.
If you are saying that at highway speeds it is running at 40 degrees celcius (and it isn't extremely cold out), I would say that your thermostat is sticking open. I know you put a new one in, but every now and again a new thermostat will either stick open or shut. If you do the work yourself, what you can do to test the thermostat is to remove it and put it in a pot of boiling water, you should see it open up. Now remove it from the water and watch it, it should close up in a short amount of time, if it doesn't you need a new thermostat. If it is working, I suggest making sure that the cooling system is completely full with no air in the system. If this doesn't work, you might want an expert to take a look at it. Hayden
