what ya'll think is the Best Oil for an 07 tC 5w-20

Mobil 1?
Royal Purple?
Castrol?
....?

 

Canola

 

eneos

 

gear oil or motor oil

 

Amsoil XL 5w-20

 

or 10w-30 if your boosted

 

here u go, Just compare results, u could also look for cars with 2az-fe. Someone posted here on the owners launge not to loong ago the results with Edge and they were pretty impresive given that he was supercharged, look it up. I personaly use Amsoil for my turbo baby and Pennzoil Ultra for my wife's. As far as oil filter M1 Extended Performance/K&N, but will be swaping to PureOne/Bosch here shortly.

If ur looking for good and afordable syntetic try Penzoil Platinum along with a PureOne/Bosch oil filter. U won't regret it. If u got the extra couple of bucks buy Pennzoil Ultra, both are great.

ok so i keep seeing eneos everywhere but along with other brands as i was looking for tranny fluid from what i have seen so far Eneos sounds like oone of the best. bUt well on the site they recommend changing motor and tranny fluid to the same brand of oil. does anyone have any insight to this? i am dropping a new engine into my tC and it will be turbo. i live in upstate new york so it doesnt get tooo hot. lemme know what you guys think
ps: engine has 3k miles and is a stock one NOT Built

ENEOS NIPPON OIL
ALL. DAY. EVERY. DAY

best stuff in engine and tranny oils....made for toyotas

 

Any input on Royal Purple 5W-20? Not boosted, just SRI and exhaust.

 

Ive used royal purple for the past 3 oil changes. Switching from mobil 1 im very satisfied. Car is much smoother at idle and throughout overall driving.

I just recently changed from redline to eneos for gear oil. that ____ is amazing. if i could i would use it for oil too but to order it for every oil change is just stupid. I get royal purple at a discounted price so for me its the best choice.

 

I think the thread you're referring to is this:

There's also some good opinions here:

I've heard mixed reviews of the Royal Purple products. Some people love them, but I've seen test results that didn't look good at all. Granted, that was a long time ago. Things may have changed since then.

Personally, I stick to Valvoline SynPower, with Castrol or Mobil as my second choices. I've never found enough of a beneficial difference between those and the high-priced racing oils to make them worth while, but I don't really race anymore either. /shrug

 

I use 10w-30 castrol no problem so far.

 

Motul 300v or Royal Purple!!!

 

i personally like mobil's products.. yeah i know mobil1 isn't a pure synthetic and that mobil1 15,000 is the real synthetic. But with all of their oils it's a solid result and never have to worry that I'd have problems because I never had when using Mobil. Plus Toyota signed a contract with Mobil to supply all their fluids to the Toyota factory as well as the Toyota branded products at the dealer (oils) I do think that some of Toyota's engineers do know what they're requiring for their cars that it isn't all about profit. There is some decent engineering/thought going into the cars. And selecting Mobil is something I completely agree with.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I will probably go with Castrol after this oil change with RP. Just bought it and then I thought I would ask. Smart right? Wanted people's opinions. I used RP in another car and it worked well so maybe the same in the scion. Castrol is a little cheaper but not as much as I thought it would be so I just spring the extra $.70 a quart for it.

 

Mobil 1

 

pennzoil platinum & napa gold filter

 

2 things

1. From what I can gather, the general consensus is that you should use 5w20 Royal Purple..if you can afford it. Otherwise, 5w20 Mobile1 full synthetic.


2. Our manual says 5w20. I live in an extreme climate (Kentucky - yes its extreme!) 0 degrees in winter is common and 100-105 in summer is common. What viscosities are a better alternative for me?
