What oil you guys running?
Before i get hounded, i did do search and didnt really find a dedicated discussion on oil.
So! My question is what oil you guys using non-vvti & vvti? I was looking at royal purple. Any of you guys using the purple or any other oils can you chime in? which would be the best to use?

Technically, you can use 5W-30 at any mileage. It all depends on your engines oil consumption. Go a little bit thicker to lessen the oil consumption. I bought my SC and the previous owner used 10W-30 because he said there's a minor oil leak. But it does consume a significant amount of oil at high speeds... 90+ mph, heavy acceleration, although not enough to produce white smoke at any time. I was thinking of going to 5W-30....
I'm nonVVTi btw.

I have used Castrol for every car I have ever onwed. Always will. Currently using 5W-30 in my SC with a 1JZ swap. I also live in a hotter climate than most. I think the type and weight of oil depends on where you live. JMO.

German Castrol 0W-30 - 1JZGTE
edit: I've used the royal purple twice and it broke down so fast, the detergents in it I feel is what adds to the breakdown.. The Mobile 1 isn't what it once was to me and used it for most of the life of the swap..
Since doing research, I liked the characteristics of the German Castrol.. Doesn't breakdown as fast as the other oils I used.. I don't change my oil anymore at 3K intervals.. upwards of 4K.. and the oil still looks clean..
if you do a search here, I believe there is some nice input (personal opinions) on oils.. Supramania has a very nice article on oils and its characteristics etc..
