Default 200K today!

Hit 200,000 miles today on my 1999 ES300. Celebrated with a Royal Purple oil change, Maxlife ATF drain and refill, and a new air filter.

Congrats!

but stop using RP motor oil it's not very good especially for the price. Use Mobil-1 instead.

I got the RP on sale for less than I could get M1.

i never used Royal Purple, nor do I plan to. I only use Mobil 1 extended service. But am curious. What is wrong with RP?

If I find the tests I'll post them. Basically the oil is rated near the bottom or maybe average depending on what it is compared to. For the price I except better. RP ATF is excellent, go figure.

I buy Mobil 1 Synthetic, its about $23-25 for a 5 quart jug at Wal-Mart(way damn more at your autoparts stores for some reason).

Congrats on your ES hitting 200k. We have a 2000 Avalon with 260k on it, still running great after all these years.
