castrol 10w-30 full synth in the 4runner, 20w-50 dino in the dastuns

 

Amsoil in everything.

 

Valvoline Max Life 10w-30; Toyota OEM filter

 

That's what XL is made for. No point in draining an oil before it's due when it has the potential to last 7,500 miles in an engine that's "seasoned" for it...

It took me several standard intervals of lesser and cheaper synthetics like Mobil 1 to clean the engine before I felt comfortable in going as long as I do between changes.

I've gotten to the point where my oil keeps most of it's golden color for at least 5 months. Amsoil has one of the best detergent blends out there, so I'm sure the color of the oil isn't misleading in terms of deposits remaining on the engine parts.

Though the two filters I've been using are among the best, I may try the K&N next time if I can find it for a decent price...

 

i have use everything from quaker state to mobil one to penzoil syn...currently i am using pennzoil syn 10w-30 and i like it better then mobil 1 but we will see once it gets to 3k and i need a change. as for filter right now a fram tough guard(i know i know) but usually either a napa gold or a yota

 

i change my oil every 5k miles with mobile 1 syn and its nasty as hell.. very dark black

 

Castrol Syntec 10-40, Purolator Pure-One filter. I like the Mobile 1, I'm experimenting with the Castrol. So far, 10K miles 2 changes(every 5K), so good. As long as it's 100% synthetic, I'm interested.

 

castrol 10w40 toyota filter.

the oil lock has me convinced the toyota is better, , , watch the oil dummy light.



used them on my 86 for 14 years and 230K miles (went to 20w50 over 200K),

now my 97 has 155K, i used 5w30 until 115K.

 

Changed my oil last night and put in Castrol GTX 5w-30 with a Denso filter.

 

castrol syntec 10w40 and a toyota filter.....good stuff!

 

Castrol GTX 5W-30 with Toyota filter.

The WRX gets Mobil1...

 

Good to know...I'll start to use the yota filters...especially if I am spending the extra $$ on oil...thx

 

Kendall full synthetic 5w-30 with a Napa Gold filter. The 4runner seems to love it. It's either a 5w-30 or a 10w-30 I used, I forget. I just use what Mitchell tells me to for weight.

 

i use castrol 10/30 in winter and 10/40 in the summer with lucas oil additive...i use either bosch or toyota filers...i wont use pennzoil or quaker state its a paraffin based (non syn) and it really gunks up the inside of the motor

 

I run Amsoil everywhere, and it's sweet! T-case, diffs, tranny, engine, power steering, brakes...

In the engine, running Amsoil Series 2000 0W-30 with the Amsoil Oil Filter, I change my oil once a year/ 15,000 miles (Which reminds me, I need to change it this month). Hope to change up to ART Supershift Racing Transmission fluid for my tranny after the VB upgrade too.

In the '92, use 10W-30 Valvoline Synthetic blend with Purolator Pure one oil filter, seems to do ok I guess.

 

Castrol 10-30W high mileage is all I have been using since about 80k, and have experimented with OEM, Puraltor Pure One, and now mobil1 oil filters. Just basically stuck with the same oil that's been good to my engine for 175K now.

 

Amsoil ASL 5W30 with EAO34 filter changed every six months.

 

Amsoil in everything.

 

Guess I am the only one who sees no point in paying big bucks for oil and filters when I change it every 3k. Have always used Havoline 10w-30 (Texaco) and a filter made for walmart by chaimpion labs. No problems ever...

It isnt so much the oil or the filter you use, as to how often you change it. I have used the more expensive stuff, gained no MPG, it didnt run better or anything.

 

Is the Brand called Supertech?

I use mobil one 5-w30 but since I'am getting into 120000 miles soon, I'am thinking about going to 10-w30 next time I Change it, I use purolater pure one($6) filter, but have used the mobil one and K&N oil filter before and they are good just pricey. Id never put a Fram Filter(or pennzoil oil filter) on my 4runner. Has any one used Royal purple or Redline motor Oil before? is it worth the price? or is mobil one just as good?
