2008 Lexus LS600hL
122K miles
Mobil 1 Synthetic 15K
To me its just a brand that has proven itself in high performance engines so i figured that if its good for formula one cars then it should be good for my Joseline(LS600hL) and i also use it in my other cars as well 2006 Toyota 4runner Limited (110k miles), and 2002 Acura TL Type S (226k miles) and they all run like a sewing machine

Oil: Full synthetic as provided by my local dealer. They told me that LS460's automatically get full synthetic without the need to upgrade at the time of service. They did not however tell me what brand they used.

Use regular dino oil in all my cars. Change it every 5000 miles. If I was doing extended oil changes, I would definitely go with synthetic but don't see the point with regular maintenance.

Oil: Quaker State Ultimate Durability Full Synthetic 5w20

Why is that your preference: Its only my preference now, because it was on sale for under 20 bucks for 5 qts. I always buy whatever is on sale.
On this oil change, I'll be sending a sample of my used oil to Blackstone Labs for analysis.

Oil: costco Mobil 1 synthetic 5W30 for this summer, every 7,500 miles
Why is that your preference: 30 weight because I want to see if this will slow down oil consumption, viscosity will not affect flow rate, flow rate and viscosity are two different things. Being synthetic, it has very good flow rate, so I'm not worried about using 30 weight instead of 20.
will post oil analysis at 7500 on this oil.
