Rating 5.0

'03 GX470, had 240K miles when I bought it just over a year ago. Now on my 2nd oil change at 245K miles with Valvoline High Mileage 5W-30 full synthetic and Fram XG3600 filter. It's quiet and doesn't burn or leak oil.

Pros: quiet, doesn't burn oil
Vehicle: Lexus
Mileage: 402336 km
Part number: XG3600

Shell Engine oil

I would recommended shell ultra 15w50 . KV100 is 20 which is thick as fuck and won't shear down quickly. Mogul 7100 is thin and will shear down to 40 grade and internationally considered garbage oil. Shell is made of group 3+ base oil so its going to perform better.

Pros: performs better
Cons: shears down quickly

VALVOLINE Engine oil

Valvoline 5w-30 full synthetic for good cold starts in winter and a royal purple oil filter for good small particle filtration.

Pros: good cold starts
Cons: bad at cold starts

Shell Engine oil

On an old e36, 5w30 full synthetic no matter the brand would often cause some leaks. Switched to some thicker Rotella oil made for diesels and suddenly no more leaks.

Pros: no more leaks
Cons: caused some leaks
Vehicle: BMW
