96' sc300 oil questions???
I have a 1996 SC300 with 188,000 miles on it. I just bought it from the origional owner and he put castrol synthetic blend in it. I was wondering the following questions..
1- WOuld it be ok to change over to synthetic?
2- Mobil, Castrol, or Royal Purple?
3- 5w30 or 10w30
4- whats the best filter to run?
5- how much oil will I need for this car (guessing 5 quarts?
If I were to guess it would be ok to run synthetic, royal purple, 10w30, mobil filter, 5 quarts? am I on the right track... if not please explain

yes its ok to switch to synthetic.
I recommend Royal Purple. With that many miles you might want to go with a heavier weight.
So if i were you this is wat i would get:
Royal Purple 20w50
OEM toyota filter from dealer or mobil 1 or bosch filter
and you are correct about the 5 quarts

I asked a toyota builder I know and he says he runs 20w50 on his gte motor that makes 1000hp, or he said it would be good for a motor that is leaking oil or smoking otherwise just use the factory recommended..
