I prefer Mobil 1 with a toyota (or subaru?) filter. 0w20, 5w20, 5w30 what ever toyota recommends.

oh and i only put up synthetic oils because if you want to be a tight ass and get the autozone brand oil/ rhino semen, you should be thrown into an industrial sized blender.

Yeah, I'm not putting synthetic oil in my 200k+ 4A-GE. Its survived just fine (well, the block anyways) using conventional oil.

/not jumping in blender.

Sides, I use Mobil 5000...I'm not putting SUPERTECH in the damn thing or anything.

I use toyota conventional oil in my car right now (2006 scion Xa).

I drive it hard everyday, i drive it after it has been warmed up, keeping true to 3,000mi OCI and the car runs great! Haven't burned a drop of oil yet!

I never really cared for brands when it comes to conventional oil. I mean oil is oil people...Quakerstate, Supertech, Toyota Oil, Honda Oil, w/e it all works fine! Conventional is great as long as you dont forget to change your oil LOL.

Now synthetic is a different story...

wow, quite a bit of people listed mobile one, my in subie and in many others the engines do not like that stuff. I have not been having any problems with RP, but I am thinking I will do a bit more research into Rotella because of its high acclaims in the subaru motor.

Don't get the Walmart Rotellas mixed up b/c the ones I've seen there are 15-20w. I heard the Rotella stuff is the best for heavy duty and turbo engines. I run the Honda HP4 stuff on the motos b/c of the slipper clutch.

[QUOTE=RRnold;9883]Dude... driving a Scion hard... really!?!

Look up Ferrum Mountain Road, Shooting Creek...Blue ridge parkway...all 10 miles from my college.

Theres a difference between 100mph in a straight line and pushing my tires to the limit on 20 mph switchbacks...

So yea, I drive it hard...you got a problem with that? Look at our fellow forum member who rocks a Yaris.

they got 15w40 conventional and 10w30 synthetic rotella at my walmart. i never understood why race motors used such thick weights. i would of thought that with the tighter tolerances you would want a thinner viscosity.

And what I meant by synthetics are different is that conventional oils arent that different from eachother, BUT synthetics vary greatly!!!

Brands in the synthetic world have a slightly bigger impact on oil quality vs. the conventional side of things.

That's all I meant to say...suprised ya'll didnt get that..

Thicker = more heat absorption?

That or better wear and tear protection. Either way people have been doing this for a while so i'm gonna stick to what they do! Not that I have a race motor or anything, but when I do i'll go that route.
