I use silkolene pro s - 10w50
1994 JDM GT4 WRC
pretty much anything from 5w30 to 20w50 works fine. im using castrol 10w40 in mine right now.
15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
I was considering using fully synthetic mobile 1 10w30. Anyone have any experience with this?
This is what i use in my 5sgte...
312whp with more to come....
Either Silkolene Pro race R 10w50 or Millers fully synthetic 10w50....wouldnt touch anything if it wasnt fully synthetic, wouldnt go thinner than 10w50 either
I use mobile 1 10w 30 synthetic and have nothing but good experiences with it, along with the mobil 1 filter. I'm thinking of trying royal purple this oil change.
Wix filter and Mobil or valvoline synthetic 10w30
87 4runner DLX 22re, 5spd, 4.30gr, 4" lift, 30" tires, HID w/ Projectors, 6spkr + sub, custom exhaust, 94 celica leather seats, SR5 gauge cluster and clinometer. Future engine swap... possibly a 2jzge.
the best filter to use is the standard Toyota filter, as it has a non return valve in it, and its usually as cheap, if not cheaper than other filters.

That's just wasting hp unless you are only on the racetrack with your car. The motor was designed to run hundreds of thousands of miles with 5w30/10w30 oil (or 10w40 in hot climates). Says so right on the oil filler cap! -Charlie

You have to remember that these cars are getting old now and need a bit of TLC....10w50 offers a bit more protectionn to the aging internals...but each to thier own, run what you want.
