Since my current free maintenance plan has expired, I was wondering what oil to go with? Should i stay with conventional or go synthetic? Keep with toyota brand or go with another? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Also whats eveyones favorite oil filter? I plan on keeping the 5k mi change intervals. Thanks for your help.....

 

Me personally would use genuine toyota filter and oil

 

Here we go!

Let the bickering commence!

 

LOL!

I'm gonna get mine in first. Castrol Edge and a Purolator Pure1 filter.

Damn. I came in second.

 

I run a Purolator Pure One filter.

I've liked Mobil 1

The Shell Rotella seemed pretty good too.

 

A full synthetic and OEM filter. I Use whatever the dealer uses for synthetic. Cleans out the sludge and internals nicely.

 

Get filters from the dealer. The parts places sell one thats a little shorter then the Toyota filter and has less filtering surface area in it. With oils I like Mobil 1 and Castrol Syntec.

 

Royal Purple and Wix/NAPA Gold filter.

Rotella and K&N filter

 

mobil 1 5w-30 and purolator classic, my truck runs best with this setup.

 

Rotella 5/40 and Toyota filter.

 

I like oem filter and car quest brand synthetic.

My cousin works for carquest and he says the their house oil is valvoline in their bottle. And pretty cheap.

I bought a car from my friend that always went to jiffy lube with engine poison(penzoil). I did the valve cover gasket and the cam towers and head was covered in sludge. After 3 oil changes, i peaked through the oil cap and it was already cleaning up. I was impressed.

 

I'm going to go with Mobil 1 Synthetic and an OEM filter with an interval of 7,500mi.

 

Oh also, does anyone know how to reset the oil change service light?

 

It's in your owner's manual.
