Oil, I'm supposed to add oil in this car? But it's...it's...it's a Lexus, I shouldn't have to add anything to it. (as I picture all those engine blocks in the junkyard with holes in the sides)

You're scaring everyone with another oil thread.
128K and I use 5W-30, always have, always will.

ran 0W-40 german Castrol for a stupid long interval (8-10k miles, school got in the way) and UOA showed that the oil held up great but the interval was affecting my wear levels.

so now i'm running a 5w-40 Shell Rotella T6 and coming up on my 5k mi interval, probably going to send it out for another UOA to make sure the new combo is working well.

Napa Gold (wix) filters preferred.
