I have always been a mobile 1 user. I have changed that though, today.
after doing some research i have found that Pennzoil Platinum is cheaper and seems to have a lower viscosity at cold temperatures (i live in alaska) than mobile 1. i was going to use Valvoline SynPower, but that was a dollar a quart more for similar performance. bought 4 quarts and a mobile filter for 26$ at walmart, and changed today. bah.... after doing more reading. both synpower and pennzoil platinum are group 3. as are castrol (made in usa, german is group 4) and even some M1 products are group 3. in 3K miles im switching again to Amsoil (a true group 4 PAO), there are dealers local to me so i can get a case for 120$ or so.

My dealer put in Castrol for the free oil change but I usually use Valvoline Synpower, 5W-30.

I buy Carlube fully synthetic (not sure if you guys have heard of the brand), its about US$20 every 4 litres. It gets changed out every 6000 miles so I don't believe in buying ridiculously priced oil.

You guys might want to check out a brand made in japan for it's domestic cars. It's called ENOS. Really good oil that is used by a lot of tuner guys.
I use mobil1 0W40 in the srt 10, and plain conventional mobil 10W30 in the yaris(free oil changes at dealer for life). |
