Re: 0W20 Synthetic Oil

Thanks but, $7+ dollars a quart is a bit stiff. I get it from the dealer for $4+ but, I detest going there. Anywhere cheaper?

Re: 0W20 Synthetic Oil

Just curious to know. Why are you using 0w20 oil on your rav? Isn't 5w30 enough? Again, I'm just curious to know.
I just started using Mobil 5W30 synthetic blend because of my mileage... it's over 170K now. I've used pure synthetic since it was new in 1997. I figured that I switch to the blend since every thing is getting old and I fear a little that it may have some blow by at the rings. I haven't seen evidence of it yet. May be I'm just paranoid.

It's saturday the 2nd and I spoke to a buddy of mine about the oil. Forgive my ignorance. No need to answer my question. I didn't realize Toyota was doing that. I was also told that when the vehicle gets past the 75k mark that the blends are prefered for blow by reasons. It makes sense but I would like some clarification.
