Have some slight oil Burn (Probably 3-4 quarts every 10,000 miles on a 150,000 mile motor. I have been using 0W20 synthetic and changing religiously every 10K. Wanted to know if changing to a different weight oil would slow the oil consumption while keeping the motor operating to peak performance. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

 

Here is what I recommend first. Use the BG products exactly as the instructions state. Then I would start changing every 5k and monitor.

 

Good products. MUST change oil immediately (roughly 15-20 minutes after treatment). Read and follow instructions or you will damage engine. Also agree that 10k changes are too long of an interval. 0W20 synthetic at 5k is cheap preventive maintenance. Also, coolant and brake fluid changes are likely overdue. Transmission filter change, drain and fill is due as well (usually at 100k). Must follow Lexus special procedure.

 

Which BG product are we taking about here? Both the MOA and the RPR? What is the process?

 

Read the instructions on their website and decide for yourself

 

10k too rong. 5k good.

 

Thanks. I ordered two cans of each and will do next week. I also plan on doing oil changes every 5 k from here on out. I did the Tranny Service at 100K. Changed the filter, magnets, and did about 4 Tranny oil mini fills per protocol. Tranny is super smooth. Also did front and rear Diff multiple times as well as one change on the Transfer case with 80LL (Liquid Gold)

 

Consider switching to amsoil signature 0w20. Personal preference.

 

Pull the plugs and decarbon the rings via direct soaking with a cleaner, it worked on mine to resolve about the same level of consumption and is what I do with cars at my shop they have the same issue.

 

Great alternative. A LOT more labor for a DIY to get to the rear plugs though. Also it doesn't clean the entire internals like the oil treatment does. Not being critical, just pointing out the differences.

 

It is a lot more work yes but it actually addresses the rings directly, anything you add to oil will only be able to splash address and will be massively diluted down.

Internals are best served with diesel fuel as the cleaner since its gentle and you can adjust it to where you want it.

 

10K oil change strikes again?

 

Probably that and never redlining it, it's not good to never use the full power of any engine.

 

As mentioned (and so future readers know), those 10k oil changes made this happen sooner than normal. 5k oil changes are cheap maintenance.

 

use bg moa at every 6k oil change and also add bg 44k platinum after each oil change just hit 84k on 2013 ls awd
