Poll: What brand of oil do you use? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

We're doing some independent researching upon what brand of oil is most popular among certain tuners. If you use an oil that is not on the list than put it in a reply. I predict that either castrol or mobil 1 will be the most popular, but we'll just have to wait and see.
Here are more poll options since the poll option limit is 10:
11) Redline
12) Exxon Oil
13) Quakerstate

If you use any of those than simply put the number in a reply.

I buy whatever's on sale when I walk in the store. Typically Havoline, Pennzoil, Chevron, Quaker State, or Shell (not Rotella, just plain ol' Shell). After rebates, I'll often get it for less than a dollar a quart.

Castrol GTX high mileage. Wouldn't use anything else on this car.

Quaker State. I heard about the 250k warranty they offer. I thought wow. I have the oil changed every 5k
with conventional 5w30.

00 LE 135k

I use Quaker State on a one of our older vehicles. Meaning, its a pretty good brand for the price you're paying.

Valvoline, for the Camry because I can find good deals on it & I like it

I use Mobil 1 0w20. I'm not exactly dedicated to the Mobil 1 brand, it's just the only brand in my area that comes in 0w20. (Other that whatever brand the dealer uses)

What's better to use in a 1990 2nd gen camry, Castrol (GTX) or Valvoline XLD?

But synthetic can kind of clean the interior of the motor, getting rid of old oil build-up near the seals/gaskets, causing it to leak.

Mobil 1 since I bought the car about a year and a half ago.

I've been using Walmart's Super Tech for 100,000 miles because it was the cheapest. But I will be switching to Mobil or Valvoline because the prices are now pretty much the same.

1996 Camry LE, 5SFE 136K miles. I've been using Royoal Purple 10W-30 for almost 2 years. No leaks, no problems, and 36+mpg.

I did use quaker state high mileage 5w30, but I've switched to castrol syntec blend 5w30, and possibly will switch again to mobil1 extended life if i change my seals.

Mobil 1, 5W-30. 1999 V6 @ 100K and 2004 I4 @42K. I buy this at Costco.
