Sorry if this has already been discussed somewhere else or if this is a repost.

My car has almost 90,000 miles. Regular oil has been used all it's life. I am curious as if I should switch to synthetic or just continue using regular oil.

Also, i remember reading somewhere that Lexus now recommends a different oil other than the one on the oil cap under the hood. What should I be using in my 2006 gs300 ? 5w20?

I would say to stick with regular oil and just keep up with the maintenance schedule.

Regular oil changed regularly has never done me wrong.

On my bike, I use synthetic, but that's only because I only change the oil on it once a year.

i use synthetic, but to be very honest, if you do oil change regular enough, normal oil i don't see any problem. and 90k miles, you can almost use the word "only" when it's lexus

i thought that lexus req'd synthetic. oh well' thats all i use in mine. diy, mobil one. every 3k miles.thats what im planning. jic. wouldnt want to stay car less.lol. regular oil is good in any car.i have an expedition with 271,000 miles. running strong. it takes regular oil every 3k miles. as long as you keep up witht the oil changes almost ANY car will last. its up to you. synthetic is better though .
