5-30 or 10-30 or 10-40

What do you guys run? I thought my oil cap said 10-40. Could be mistaken tho

 

5w-30 all day and night.

 

When I had my 1st gen I used 50:50 Cold-press olive oil and kerosene. Ran strong for years.

Jokes aside, in my opinion it does not matter in a 1st gen engine, just make sure you use a somewhat decent brand, the engine has enough in it, and you change it reasonably regularly.

 

I ran mobile 1 in my 94 with 22re and it had 316k and still runs strong so I’ll keep using it

 

My oil cap says 5-30, so I run 5-30 Castrol.

 

Why would I pick a 10 when there's 0 and 5

 

For non-racing driving, it don't matter the brand so long as it’s a reputable name brand. You can’t go wrong with the $19 synthetic 5-qt high mileage jugs from SuperTech (Walmart brand). That being said, I get the 6-qt $28 Havoline syn box so that I have no left over oil.

 

Use what is stated in the owners manual.
Ignore anything you read on this or any other internet forum.

 

I don’t have the owners Manuel. It’s a 1998 with a 3.5 and I bought it less then 2 months ago.

Ok man, sorry to upset you

 

It's just a recurring question on here, don't worry they arent mad, just see it often.

Stick to 5W30 any kind of oil is good to go.

 

Yeah. Definitely not mad here.
You are fine OP.

But these threads usually turn into an argument.
And most of the information is opinion based, not fact.

I don’t even off my opinion anymore.
I just tell everyone to use what the manual says.
That way they, or whoever, can argue with the manual and not me.

 

That message was for taco Tuesday. Someone will be glad to help like they have and thank you who did

I’ll be getting some 5-30 thank you

 

You can download any Toyota/Lexus manual here (from about 1995+):

That’s just your opinion bro.

 

Indeed it is.

 

When you click on a users name you'll find info that includes an 'ignore' button. Clicking that will keep you from seeing posts by them.

It does come in handy.

You can download a PDF version of your manual for free from Toyota. Not practical to print out or carry around, but at least gives you something to refer to for the basics.
