Mobil 1 5w-20 at Wal-Mart. $22 for 5 quarts.

Redline 10w-30 in the Supra. Turbos need really good oil if they're going to last.

I also use mobil one I worked on many race cars and we tried all syn. oils and the one that always held up the best was by far Mobil 1.

You should always wait at least til 5k miles before changing to synthetic you don't have to wait until 10k.

Mobil 1 is what I'm considering changing to in my 07 IS350. What are realistic intervals for oil changes? I know Mercedes, BMW, Porsche have intervals of at least 10K miles.
