What brand of oil are you guys using in your 22RE engines? Any to stay away from?

 

I use Mobil 1 5W-30 with a Wix or Bosch filter. You will find that most on here use Mobil 1, and most will say to avoid Fram filters. I don't remember anyone on here saying a brand of oil to avoid.

When I lived in California and it was warm I ran 20W50 in my 86 and 87 22RE's

 

I use Mobil or Valvoline, Amsoil is also good, but I don't have a need for such long intervals.

 

i use quaker state synthetic blend in my 20r

 

I use Valvoline. I don't know why. I just like the clear color of it. But it's so clear, it's hard to read the dip stick sometimes.

 

Pretty much what rdlsz24 Said, Just Avoid Fram Filters or any other Cheap Brand of Oil Filters. As With Oil,Avoid Getting a Cheap Brand, Don't buy some cheap 80 cents a Quart of Oil.

 

I use Castrol GTX High Milage 10/30 or 10/40 whichever is cheaper, and Napa/Wix oversize filter.

 

I've been using Castrol GTX 10W-30 in my 3.0 since it's so cold here in Mass. It likes to be changed around 2k miles though. When it gets warmer I'll switch to 10W40

 

valvoline extended life 10/30 w/ napa gold oversize filter (taurus)

 

castrol GTX... awsome oil.

 

CASTROL high mileage. great oil 10-40 if one were so inclined..

 

disregard link......i have no idea where that came from????

 

10w40 quaker, wix filter

 

mobil 1 syn 10-30, or pennzoil syn 10-30, but i think im gonna give 10-40 a shot and see if its better...

 

Everyone's gonna laugh but I use Wal-mart brand Supertech oil in all of my cars. I change it at 3k miles and I looked for a while on http://www.bobistheoilguy.com website and from what I read it seemed like any good SAE approved oil is as good as any expensive motor oil for 3k miles.

No 22re but I do have 3 toyota engines

 

M1 syn or Castrol Syntec with a Puralator PureOne filter is what i've been using for over 10 years now.

 

Castrol GTX 10W-30 and whatever filter I can find except Fram

 

that sounds about right to me.

i use M1 in my tacoma for long drain intervals (10,000 miles based on used oil analyses), but i am using Napa (valvoline) 10-30 in the 4runner and a 3000 mile interval. the 22re is a pretty fresh reman now, but i will change it over to M1 soon for the extended drain intervals. IMO synthetic oil is wasted time and money unless it is used for extended drain intervals.

Napa filters (oil, air and fuel) are rebranded Wix. I havent done the price checking, but I think Napa cost less than the corresponding Wix.

 

I agree on if it's on any natuarally aspirated motor but when it comes to forced induction particularly hard driven turboed motors then synthetic is really the only way to go even for only 3000 miles.
