Anyone use 10-W30 in their IS?
Hey all I've been hearing a machine gun noise when driving randomly and it happens completely randomly. I recently went from 5-w30 NON synthetic to 10-w30 SYNTHETIC oil yesturday and I don't really know if this is related or not. Again the noise is completely random and it does it WHILE im driving. My question is, has anyone here used 10-w30 Synthetic in their cars?

CL,
Thanks for all the replies.
No i don't drive to Juarez.
I ended up going with 10W30 cause the Advanced I go to had a sweet deal for 23 bucks... 5 qtrs of Castrol Synthetic 10w-30 OR 5w-30 + Filter, they were out of the 5W.
Also I figured out what that strange noise was... Ironically after i did my oil change I thought it was related, but infact there was a CD half way wedged into my glove box filter area and I believe the fan in there may have been hitting it.
Since I"ve removed the CD i've yet to hear the sound.

You don't drive down to Juarez, do you?
I think 5-20w is the Toyota-recommendation

Those real machine guns down in Juarez are probably scarier than a CD.
I was changing my A/C filter the other day, and when I popped the cover off, it dropped down into a crack directly below it. That was a pain, getting it out. That or anything else that fell down there would probably rattle, too.
