    Definitely Pennzoil or Mobil to get the $10-12 rebate.

    Big fan of only doing annual changes. High mileage extended performance 5w30 for me. It's 15k annual rating is more miles than I'll do in a year

    Mobil one that is. With the larger extend performance oil filter. If you're running it longer, I'd assume the best filter you can get is important

    And I think the mobile 1 warranty with extended performance oil requires their extended performance filter to be valid

    :bananadead: Another oil thread.

    :bananadance:I'll play!!! Gotta boost that post count!!! :muscleflexing:

    Idemitsu 0w-20, it is same spec as Toyota brand, and likely equivalent or same stuff in gold 5-gal containers. I bought enough for 5 changes when it was priced low on Amazon. Plus it is what Subaru Rally Team USA driver Travis Pastrana runs... so it must be the best.

    [​IMG]

    I tried one 10K interval between 15-25K, but the oil was noticeably dark and slightly burnt smelling, so I am going to go 5000 or 7500 from now on... oil looks much better at that interval, in my non-scientific opinion.

    I have never changed my oil, maybe that is
    why the tail pipe smokes like a
    Bar b que pit.
    I guess it is time to trade up to a TRD Pro

    Been using Lawn Mower oil that is on sale at Walmart

    What is an oil filter mean?

    don't let the dealerships do your oil changes they inform your mileage to the car insurance companies and raise your rates

    I top mine off with that little bit of oily goodness at the top of a newly opened Jif peanut butter jar. Engine runs like silk and the truck interior smells like roasted peanuts.

    You should give it a try.

    These TW oil threads can't be real life. Just can't be. o_O

    And every damn one of them starts out the same and always ends the same.



    And by the way.....my oil can beat up your oil.
