Castrol edge full synthetic

Is Castrol Motor Oil better than Kendall? Let's find out! - YouTube

Not new to most people, but Project Farm does a lot of objective testing on motor oil and many things mechanical. He tests a bunch of other oil brands too. Ultimately, any reputable brand these days is probably fine.

 

That's a google image. Don't spread bullshit like this.

Our fleet 3.5 tacomas get the oil changed at 10kish(many go over) with cheap synthetic. A few trucks are over 100k with zero engine issues.

PS: Redline is a waste of money.

 

i only use 98 octane as it gives me a .3hp boost

 

Redline is very good stuff, but overkill for these engines.

 

Heck, try a few gallons of trufuel, you'll get way more than that, plus an empty wallet. Trufuel is awesome, it gives my yard power equipment wings.

 

I've been using Valvoline Premium oil on my 2003 4runner V6 and it worked great. I got new 23 tacoma and also thinking which oil I will go with soon or later.

 

Saw a Mobil1 and Supertech from Walmart comparison video. Performed just as well if not a bit better than Mobil1. Use it in my Wrangler since new. 3k to 5k mile changes in all my vehicles. If I'm wasting money dumping still good oil I don't care. Admittedly the oil in my Wrangler comes out looking new after 5k. Tacoma and motorhome on the same schedule.

 

I saw that on cars that were religiously changed at 3k miles. You’re talking about engines and oils from the 80s.

 

Damn, I love a good oil thread!

 

What I find amazing is these trucks are 40 K and up give or take. Let’s just say you do your oil at 5 K in stead of 10. The motor will stay cleaner no matter what anyone says, period . Now is it something that you can push off ( maybe ? ) a little extra time ( ok yes ) a little extra money ( ok yes ) what’s the issue ? You buy a truck for 40 K …. Change the oil more then what some people say is more than necessary and ? Did you hurt the truck ? No will you probably have a spotless engine inside ? Yup
So what’s the problem . If you feel that way why not buy an old junker for really cheap run it into the ground and when it dies buy another junker . Anything I own I take good care of . I do more stuff then what ( They Say ) but any of my motors if you were to look inside it’s spotless. A little more money upfront goes along way.

Oil change arguments are great aren’t they?

 

VAG VR6?

Here's a 1GR-FE on 50k oil changes with less sludging (but still dead): https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...engine-dead-at-98k.232540/page-9#post-5541472

 

This @ 5k interval plus OEM filters for me.

 

Thats what can happen when regular cheap dino oil is used, and not changed very often, or at all. It's got zero to do with a decent name brand synthetic used today.

 

Don't you just love it's friday.

 

Indeed. You'd expect VVTi valve malfunctions (which would throw the CEL) well before sludging get this bad in the picture.

 

That looks like 50k of miles and someone didn’t change the original oil.

 

Just don't do whatever the owner of this vehicle did.... hahahaha!

Ahh, it's Friday. We're in a recession, times are tight, so perhaps our trucks will run okay on bananas? Let's find out!
