Walmart should have the best prices of anybody in just about any area. Mobil1 0w-40, Castrol European Formula 0w-40, Shell Rotella T6 5w-40, or even Mobil1 10w-40 High Mileage. Use dealer filters, Mahle or Mann found at Advance or NAPA, Wix or NAPA GOLD also at NAPA.

Pros: easy to find, good quality

Wix and NapaGold (by Wix) filters of the champions. No filter or pressure issues for me since 1970.

Pros: no pressure issues, long-term reliability

Wix. In 2003 Corolla and 2006 Rav4 + cheapest synthetic oil on sale every 5000km. Engine runs smoother. So smooth it feels like I can coast and maintain speed a lot of times. Which doesn't happen in my Subaru Outback with OEM filter and Mobil1 synthetic.

Pros: smooth engine, easy coasting
Mileage: 5000 km

I use Valvoline NextGen high mileage synthetic blend 5w30 in my 1998 Tahoe w/ 161k miles. I usually use ACDelco or Wix filters. Depending on how much highway/city driving I do I change between 3k-6k (manual says 3k for city, 7k for highway) and five quarts go in, five quarts always come out :D. I used Valvoline full synthetic high mileage for about three changes in a row, but decided it probably wasn't worth the cost on such a high mileage, non performance engine. Plus, I wanted to use the NextGen when it came out. So far, I'm impressed with the recycled oil.

Pros: five quarts in, five quarts out
Vehicle: Chevrolet Tahoe
Mileage: 161000 km

Clean Throttle Body, Clean MAF, Change air-filter if needed (manual recommends every two years unless you live in a dusty environment), change fuel filter ( depending on mileage or time. I do mine every two or three years, if it has never been done, do it). Run a good injector cleaner through (Chevron Techron if you can find it)the fuel system, then run another tank of gas through, and then do an oil change with synthetic oil and a good quality oil filter (Wix are good (napa) or any of the OE/OEM German filters like mann, mahle or bosch.).

Pros: good quality oil filter

The car takes a different oil filter (wix 57170). The filter housing has a center structure coming out of it that slides in the bottom of the filter (to keep it in place?) and the new filter doesnt have that. I sat there with a dremel for 2 hours and made the new filter fit. Success, but its still leaking the same amount of oil.

Cons: did not fit correctly, required modification, still leaking oil
Part number: 57170
