oil type ES350
Hi,
I've been used oil "regular Sync blend" 5wx30 for my 2007 ES 305 but now Advance Auto or Auto zone don't have this type of oil any more. They recommend me 5wx30 High mileage type only 75,000 mileage and above. My car has 70,000 mileages. What type of oil should I be using for this car?
Thanks

High mileage oil is good if you have leaks because it has additives that helps to swell seals stopping the leaks. If you don't have leaks you don't need it. Bad advice from those guys.
Also auto parts stores almost always charge more for oil-even on sale. I always get mine from Walmart at the above mentioned price of $26.

Any full synthetic oil. Was using Mobil 1 Extended; now using Valvoline MaxLife. Was using 5/20; now using 10/30 which stopped a slow seepage from the timing cover. Changing oil every 10K. Was using Fram Ultra XP; now using Wix XP; both made in USA.

+1 - Mobil 1 is great. Just curious. For the sixth quart, do you buy it at the single quart price (here it's $7.99 at Walmart)...... or do you buy two jugs and use what's left over next time. I hate to leave an open jug out for 8 or 9 months. I am probably paranoid ...... since the cap would be on, I doubt the additives in the oil would deteriorate.

You guys are putting in 6ts? Oil capacity is 6.4qts with an oil filter change, which you should always replace with an oil change; I round up to 6.5qts.
I maintain 5 cars, so motor oil don't sit around too long in my household. However, motor oils are not hydroscopic (like brake fluid); so, it can sit around a while.

Mine goes 2-3mm above max level so I usually put 6 qt.
