What kind of engine oil??

What kind of engine oil, viscosity/weight and make, are most of you using??

I did a search but found nothing.

My 2.7 has 64k miles on it and I want to start using synthetic in it. I have alot of 5-40 Mobil 1. I may use that.

What's the opinion out there?

Thanks

 

i use castrol 5w-30 with BG MOA additive

 

Mobile 1 Syn. And filter. I have about 7.5k on my oil and still looks clean as golden honey.

 

it depends on if you want to push out your oil changes. ..if you do, go with something like castrol edge or mobil 1 ep. ..or amsoil, ..or pensoil ultra.

if you're not going to extend your change interval. ..just go with a regular brand name synthetic.


at any rate. ..i think the prefered weight is either 5 or 10w30

 

Castrol GTX 5w-30 every 3000mi.

 

x2, that's what I use.

 

mobil1 or pennzoil platinum 5w30 and change every 5k miles.

 

castrol edge 5w-30

 

Use whatever weight your owner's manual specifies. As far as brand, all the major brands give excellent results as long as you change on schedule.

Personally, nothing has given me as good a result as Royal Purple. But try a bunch of stuff and draw your own conclusions.

Also, oil analyses will help you determine how your engine wear is doing.

 

Mobil 1 5w-30 every 3000 miles

 

Pennzoil 5w30 every 5k

 

Mobile One fully synthetic every 4-5k should be good.

 

Castrol GTX 5w-30

 

Castrol GTX 5w-30 about every 4.

 

Anyone run Mobil Clean 5000? I just picked some up for our Matrix for $11 at Wally World (5qt jug). I like to change the oil every 3k anyways so synthetic is overkill.

I was going to run the same stuff in my 4runner next oil change.

 

I use Mobil 1 5w-30 fully synthetic. Works like a charm!

 

I bought my 1998 tacoma with 100,000 miles on it. The first owner used mobile 1 5w 30 starting with the second oil change. That's all I use. I use a mobile 1 oil filter as well. I used to run 5000 mile intervals until I talked to http://www.blackstone-labs.com/ they analyzed my oil and my engine is in perfect health with no wear at 145,000 miles. They told me that this particular oil doesnt break down until 7,500 miles and to run my oil longer.

 

Mobil 1 for the truck, Royal Purple for the Bike. I just drink the extra Royal Purple, it is like grape juice (just a bit thicker though).

 

Thanks for all of the replies.

I have several gallons of the older 5-40 Mobil 1 DIESEL/TRUCK oil. Guess I'll use it and run it for 7-8k miles or so.

I don't think they even make that oil any more. Don't know what happened. They may have just changed the label.

Thanks

 

I put in Mobil 1 10w-40 fully synthetic in mine yesterday.
