Ummmm I'm 99.99% sure that the 3.5 lexus, 3.5 camry, 3.5 highlander, 1.8 corrolla all use synthetic from Mobil. I'd say 100% but they may have changed since the end of shift yesterday.

Nothing with a VI lower than 190 heres what meets specs

Eneos Sustina this will go in at 5500 miles,after the factory fill of subie oil I get free at 3750 miles
Subaru SM (not the SN) this is my second oil change fill at 1500miles, great stuff
Toyota SM(if you can find it) great stuff
Motul eco lite

for summer track use German Castrol 0w-30(not to be confused with Titanium which is horse piss)

I also use a liquimoly product in all my cars with good feeling results.
Huge fan of AGIP, and TOTAL (elf) oils

btw the Mobil formulas for retail and OEM can differ greatly in the way they are fortified, so if you want those benefits buy from the dealer if you dare use M1 on a boxer; not I ever, dont have the balls to do it

I think there is a pennzoil and a amsoil, but those brands arent allowed on my land

Has anybody done enough oil changes to use different brands and notice a difference with the oils?
