Best bang for my buck?
Hello fellow 86rs.
The time has finally come to the point where I no longer have free oil changes. I was curious with which brand of oil you guys use, whats the best bang for my buck. When my car hit 1000 miles I changed the oil using mobile one, in my opinion it was a bit pricey (50 dollars for 7 quarts). I don't mind paying for a good product, just want to know what else is out there.

I think there are baffled with cooling fins on ft86speedfactory? Also people use those fumoto valves apparently for quicker easier oil changes

I got a 2.5 gallon jug from jegs. Fits perfectly in the trunk and don't have to worry about awkward holding/carrying.

Go to www.bobistheoilguy.com for more information than you'll know what to do with Oil does not add performance per se. Any 0W-20 oil will be fine for most cars for 5-7K miles oil change intervals because all 0W-20 oils are synthetic. Mobil 1 from Walmart is fine is probably what I will use when I run out of free changes. IIRC there is a thread on BITOG re 0W-20 oils and they say the Toyota oil is the best but only marginally so, so only worth it if you can get it for $5 a quart.
