Used nothing but Kendal in my 88 4R with great results but am open for suggestions for my 03. Stick with the recommended weight 5-30??

i don't look at brands, i look at the rating and then buy whatever's cheapest. might be different for synthetic though. right now i'm using some chevron 10w40

amsoil in everything for my vehicle.

My father was a mechanic and used nothing else.

My mother was partial to Wesson Oil.




Sorry about the smart remark.

I second the Amsoil.

Castrol GTX. Only way to go. No real reason though.


Mike.

For me, simply due to convience/price. Amsoil sounds good, but it's just a bit more....and I can't get it at the store when I need it.

I ran Castol GTX for YEARS - I'm pretty much a newbie on the mobil 1 tip...but so far my car/truck seem to REALLY be running nice with it.

I recently converted from Catrol GTX to Mobil1 synthetic. Mainly for gas mileage.

HaveBlue-
so, you've noticed a mileage increase with Mobil 1? What has your gain been? I'm on my 2nd tank with the 4R and still on my 1st tank w/ my Camry - look like 1-1.5 mpg improvement in city traffic.

Is it true that you have to change to a different type of oil for the winter? Like a thicker one or something? And could somebody explain the meaning of the weights or numbers? Thanks.

you really shouldn't need to switch to a thinner oil in the winter....todays oils are pretty much all weather, unless you live in the extremes.
