Default 2025 Lexus ES350 V6 3.5 liter engine OIL

I try to make others to swich for Liqui Moly 6600 0W20 oil. Why? It's better for your engine becouse stay betwin the parts, keeps it clean, and takes more heat than any other oil. Do your research, see if I'm right. The best thing is the price, you can get it for $60 for 6 liters. Trust me on this one, it's the best investment you ever make. Good luck.

It's a guarantee for 15.000 that's you change every 7.5-8 K. miles. You pay more for yours, including the oil filter. And you got last. NOBODY stays close to Liqui Moly 6600.

Great video on YouTube where the owner of a 200,000 mile vehicle put Walmart Supertech oil and their filter in for 12,000 miles. Did an oil analysis before and after the 12,000 miles and no difference in the test for breakdown.

I just buy whatever is the cheapest pure 100% synthetic name brand at Walmart. 0W20 as recommended by Lexus... I can't recall any oil related engine issues being discussed or posted on this forum by members. Sounds like a sales pitch to me...

My neighbor used to own a fleet of messenger vans - used Supertech religiously and ran those vans to 350K+. Retired them still running fine.

CCN did a recent video titled "Should You Thicker Oil In Your Modern Engine To Improve Reliability?" where he addressed the issue of oil brands.
Long story short (around the 19:35 mark), Toyota oil first, MB1 second, other brands work great others don't.
But more important than brand, he stressed on sticking to shorter OCI 5k/6m or less depending on engine (turbos) and/or driving conditions.

FWIW, CCN and the experienced members on this forum have far more credibility to me than any online sales advertisement.

Change your oil every 5K miles and it won't really matter what oil you use.

I use Mobil1 or Pennzoil Platinum/UItra Platinum in our 2015 ES, every 5K miles (2 times a year). Will be doing the same with our 2025 ES.

No question. You use a good oil, Mobil 1, and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum are good oils. I used to have Pennzoil Ultra Platinum in my engine, but Liqui Moly is better because it stays in the parts, not draining into the oil pan like other ones. Don't need to start the engine and wait till the oil is rich in the part. Is the only one oil doing this. You guys are doing what you want. I suggest this to help others. I see you don't need help......

when i used to drive gas cars, i would get amazon or walmart whichever is cheapest. change every 3-5k miles and you are good.

back in the day 15 years ago i would only vouch for religious type oil experience and recommend rolls royce of oil. but as of 10 years ago, even the junk brands rocketed straight to the top. in some cases the "junk" brands even exceed the likes of mobil 1 etc.

OK, then show us the research for all of your claims.
