Oil Change - 5w-20 or 5w-30? What everyone is using?
#66
my dad and i use 5w-30 extended performance by mobil 1. it's been very reliable for all the toyota/ lexus cars we've owned. for the F though, i recently switched to 0w-30. my mechanic (third party mechanic) utilizes the 0w-20/30 for all high performance vehicles at his shop

After trying the 5w-20 Mobile 1, I'm back to using the 5w-30 for my IS350. The only thing I'm doing different now is - not using the 3rd party filter, even if it's cheap. Just found out that eBay is selling the bulk toyota/lexus YZZA3's pack of 10 for $55....$5.55 vs $17 at Lexus dealer. Toyota dealers are now refusing to match the part numbers on purpose
