2007 Camry Hybrid with 109,400 miles In: 0W-20 Mobil 1 Synthetic Oil with Toyota OEM filter (F1 size) Out: 0W-20 Mobil 1 Synthetic Oil with Toyota OEM filter (F1 size)

I've used it twice so far, and I'm on my 3rd oil change with Synpower. The reason why I bought 15 quarts (my car needs 4.5 quarts per oil change) was because they were $21.50/5Q and I received a $20 rebate. Yes, the only reason why I'm using Synpower now is because of the 300k warranty...

I prefer Valvoline Synpower 5W-20 in my Camry Hybrid. I've used QS Ultimate Durability before when they were handing out those rebates. The start-up was a little noisier (1st .5 seconds) in the morning. My car starts up smoother with Valvoline. Plus, I signed up with their 300,000 miles engine...

When I buy an oil filter at a Toyota dealer, they give a blue crusher for free without having to ask. I went to a different dealer once, and I noticed the counter guy didn't give me one. So I just asked him if I could give one for free. I haven't had a problem yet. Toyota oil filters are usually...

I've check multiple WMs, and can concur with you that they don't sell any 0W-20 in jugs (1.25 gallons). The closest you'll find in jugs are 5w-20 or 0w-30. The only way you will find 0w-20 is if you buy them by the quart, and they only have M1 or Valvoline Synpower in that viscosity.

I prefer Valvoline Synpower 5W-20. Out of all the oil, it gave my engine the smoothest start-up. Plus, I take advantage of their 300,000 mile guarantee. Go with Valvoline Synpower. When I used Mobil 1, there was a noticeable amount of engine oil burn off. I can't comment on PP because I haven't...

I prefer 0W-20 Valvoline Synpower. My car didn't like Mobil 1 0W-20. There was some burn off at 3,000 miles, which doesn't happen to my 2007 Camry Hybrid with other oil.

I was there just a week ago and the two best synthetic values are the 5 quart jugs of Quaker State Ultimate Durability for $19 and Valvoline Synpower for $21. I tried Valvoline Synpower 5W-20 for the first time last week, and my Camry Hybrid seems to be operating as smooth as it possibility...

2007 Camry Hybrid ~ 92,500 miles. Used Toyota Genuine Oil Filter Valvoline Fully Synthetic Synpower 5W-20

I made the mistake of letting one of my automotive classmates change my oil. The oil level on my car seems about a half a quart above the high-level mark on the dip stick. What should I do? Drain it a little from the drain plug, or should I just continue driving it? I already drove about 100...

I use whatever synthetic 0W-20 or 5W-20 oil is on sale. If I had a brand loyalty, I would use 0W-20 Valvoline Synpower because of the 300,000-mile engine warranty.
