Which Oil to use

[magnate]

Hi Guys,
I Have a 2005 toyota camry and I was wondering which oil to use. I prefer Castrol Edge (Synthetic) vs Mobil (Synthetic). Any Suggestions. Thanks

Makes no difference really, whatever you want.

[magnate]

Thanks for the quick reply.

IMHO....

Royal Purple > Mobil1 > Castrol/shell/etc > Regular > dirty oil > no oil > no car > no car and still make payments

[Tek-nique]

all the same, just as long you keep up with the oil maintenance you're good.

Whatever you prefer. As long as it's GF-4 specifications. You can use Castrol, Pennzoil, Mobil, Amsoil, etc.....


Toyota required oils listed inside. GF-4 AND non GF-4 listed.

I'm using Castrol Syntec 0W-30 AKA German Castrol. Look around "Bob is the Oil Guy" and you'll see why.

For what it's worth, I use Royal Purple ATF in the AT and PS.

I think Toyota recommend Mobil 1 for our 2GRs but it really doesn't matter for our engines which brand you use. Running full synthetic is already First Class treatment.

Duly noted, however it's been my observation that Mobile 1 has consumption issues in some of my current and previous vehicles.

YMMV

It's good for 3 oil changes lol...

I don't think you save much buying in bulk but Royal PUrple may be more expnesive than I'm used to

[Cking]

Indeed. A little more than 3 changes. But I intend on using it. It's very nice compared to mobil1. OR it could just be my wallet TELLING me that it's doing good. $35~ isn't bad consider your next one = 5k miles later.
