I'm not sure about the 22re but I have been running Castrol GTX High Mileage in my '02 for the last couple of years, and I don't think I will try anything else. Once I decided to give Penzoil a try and there was a noticeable drop in gas mileage and performance. Also, NEVER use Fram!! They are one of the most well known filters but they are poor quality! I use Purolator Pure One filters because they are consistently rated the highest quality filter.

 

Higher than a toyota filter?

 

Royal Purple in both my rides.From day one on the 410 engine swap of my mustang and in both of the 4runners(until the demise of runner #2) have also switched to there new filters.

 

+200k on my vehicles and never had a problem with generic ASE certified dino oil and wix filters every 3k or 3mo. Have heard great things about Rotella oil tho. I've heard if your using synthetic oil in motors with 30k+ after using dino the whole time, your might as well stuff cash in your crankcase. I change oil for my friends sometimes and I've slapped them for bringing me a fram.

 

[quote=LSUfan71;51556911]I've been corrected on my understanding of the rating. Anyone have experience using Royal Purple?[/q

Royal Purple and a K&N oil filter. Been running that since I drained the break-in oil, nothing to complain about!

 

[quote=94'wheeler;51557640]Ran the K&N until RP put out there line and I agree never had issues with the pair.ill also add my Pony runs 1050Hp off the crank and loves its purple.

 

[quote=Mikel1871;51557660]wow, what motor?!? Thats certainly impressive! The DD P/U has Royal Purple in everything, the 4runner has amsoil all around. Just loyal to good synthetics!

 

lucas, amsoil, penn racing oil, penzoil synthetic, etc..... use purolator, wix or mobile 1 filter, screw fram.... just change the oil often and use a good filter

 

this thread won't die; everyone has a strong opinion on this one (including myself)

 

Whats wrong with Penzoil, another myth?

 

I don't care about brand of oil, I go by API standards of the oil, then viscosity, then price. As long as it's SM (or in my old pushrod motor, SL ONLY...I never use SM in any tappet motor) or mybe SL. I generaly use 5-30, or 10-30 WT after Labor Day, then switch to 10-40, or 20-50 Wt on May 1st. I choose either WT by price.

I use Wix or NAPA filters.

 

See thats what counts. Its what makes an individual happy. Oil, shmoil, change it every 3000 miles n everything is good. PS If you don't use Valvoline syntec, 5/30 your nuts.

 

city water, with a paper towel filter.. change it every 1k

 

Valve grinding compound an a stalking cap, change it after 1 foot.

 

^ haha!

 

Toyota uses Mobile 1 conventional in 5/30 and 10/30. I figure they have to know something, so that is what I go with. And a toyo filter is $8.00 not that much more than some others. It also retains oil to eliminate dry starts.

 

i think iam going to oil from walmart the recylced stuff from super tech.. and filter..

 

Mobil 1 5w30 and Napa Gold Filter for me..

 

There used to be an oil called 'Lubriplate' and was the bee's knees, too bad they don't make it anymore.

There actually is a lubricating property in Pennsylvania oils (except Q-state) that is superior to any Texas oils because of some element found in their respective regions. (I'm from PA also....haha) I need to do some searching and find out some specifics on this but I used penzoil since high school before I discovered penn racing oil and although all oil works, I always like to use the best I can get for my money. hmmm....

I think a lot of it is just preference without any known facts (me included)

 

$8.00 ??

dang they only cost me $5 over here.
