What oil do you use in your sc?
Well I know there are many opinions and views on which oil to use, but I am considering switching to synthetic with 195k on the clock and have my concerns. So post up what oils you guys use and pros cons whatever.
Mobil 1 at least every 3k.
I usually get enough leftover for free. Right now I have almost enough to do 2 oil changes. Just changed my oil 1500 miles or so ago. Might do it again just because I have the oil and I'm running out of space to keep it in.
Toyota filters.

I tried RP + K&N filters on my cars but didn't notice a difference. So I went back to w/e is on sale @ Kragen or WalMart and Toyota/Scion/Lexus filters.
10W30 for the SC
5W30 for the Camry
5W20 for the tC

German Castrol 0w30. Thats right. 0w30.
Also Redline for transmission and differential. Had royal purp in my tranny and it sucked like a hoover. Super notchy shifting. I'm talking having to put all your weight into a throw to get it into any gear.
Also redline is less expensive.

^^ amen to that. I'm going to run that after im done with my swap and the engine is all broken in. Toyota filters because i get them for free
I use Royal Purple for my tranny and it takes a while for it to work well, but even then is still somewhat notchy. Im going to hit up Redline fluid and see how that works.

Yea I think im gonna switch to mobil 1 high mileage synthetic, but ive always been told synthetic is risky in older motors because it can leak past the seals easier. Until recently I was told otherwise.
