Owner reviews for engine oil

I used to only run Castrol Edge or Mobil 1 in both my 5.2 and 3.0T. the 3.0T didn't seem to care what it ran, but the 5.2 would burn off both of those at a rate of roughly 1200 miles per quart. After having to do a yearly(25k mile) intake pull to clean the valves/intake, I switched to Liqui moly Leichtlauf for the 5.2 and Molygen for the 3.0T. 5w40 regardless of which oil or engine.

as before, the 3.0T doesn't seem to care other than a slightly reduced amount of magnetic schmoo on the magnetic drain plug. So, better, but not a significant difference.

The 5.2 has pushed the oil consumption into the 2000 mile per quart range, the valves only had maybe 1/3 of the buildup as before and I'm no longer pushing small amounts of oil into the spark plug wells. So, undeniably better for me. Magnetic drain plug looks better here as well too.

Personally I buy exactly the factory oil, from a manafacturer that factory put in, in German cars it's Castrol, French are Total and Elf, Italians use Petronas Selenia.

Liquimoly talaga the best.

Liqui moly user here. Almost 8 years na ako gumagamit ng Liqui Moly, satisfied ako and hindi na ako nagpalit. I'm using it sa mga motor at kotse ko bro

I use Mobil 1 full synthetic because I also use it for my car, and if you send you oil off to a lab after you change it, even at 3000 miles the oil was still in great shape.

This is the exact oil I use in my Honda metropolitan. I’ve put thousands of miles with the stuff and have no complaints. I’m a big fan of Motul.

Ran Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy for a while and it was fine, but lately I've switched over to the Toyota branded. It's more expensive, but I only change my oil once a year because I don't drive it much, and I like the higher molybdenum content in the Toyota stuff.

I found a dealership that sells the Toyota oem at 5.90 a quart so that’s what I use. It’s made by Mobil 1 but has certain additives added specifically for Toyota specifications that regular Mobil 1 doesn’t have. Technically it’s what the 4Runner will run best with.

Toyota synthetic. I was going to do Mobile 1 but noticed a few claims of people using both saying it shifted a little more smoothly with the Toyota oil

I just did the chains + headgasket and a bunch of other misc stuff on my Corrado earlier this year. My guides were worn pretty bad and it only had 120k on the clock.
