Engine oil VALVOLINE or OEM Toyota
Use Valvoline Restore and Protect oil if possible
Valvoline full synthetic, 5w-20, She has 151k and counting.
Use only Valvoline restore and protect every 5 k miles. Keeps engine clean keeps and oil use normal
If it's burning oil try a few change intervals with Valvoline Restore and Protect. It's supposed to remove deposits on the piston rings and reduce oil consumption.
Perhaps using a lower weight, full synthetic engine oil would build pressure faster and reduce the noise.
What I would do is have the oil changed but make sure you use Valvoline Restore & Protect and a new quality filter (OEM Toyota, Wix, Mobil 1). Drive the car about 1600km, then do the oil change again using new oil and filter, drive again for 1600km, do it a 3rd time.
Valvoline 0w20
Been using for donkey years and never failed to amaze me. Valvoline till now never seen or encountered with fake ones.
If you are using ToyotaCare, they will push 10k/1yr oil change interval. If you willing to pay for every oil change, they don't care.
I used that once years ago in my 2011 Limited on Stage 2. What a waste of money.
