Some Canadian Tire stores carry Maxlife Syn. So if you come over this side of the border, stockpile.

Thanks, Jag, for clarifying that(S is sulfur). This company caters mostly to commercial businesses. If I remember correctly, Patman mentioned that he used this lab for his oil analysis. If I could figure it out, I'd post the full results, which have graphs and everything, and maybe someone could...

Hi there, It doesn't say universal. The UOA was done in WearCheck Canada in Missisauga, ON. This is my second oil anylisis on my Tacoma, the first being with Blackstone laboratories (the silicone was 95). I kind of like the Blackstone report because it's easier to understand, but I tried...

SIENNA: The oil was from mid-November to mid- April. Stop & go traffic and mixed driving. It's the wife's vehicle. Extensive idling in the winter, that's why I changed it, to be on the safe side. Next time, I'll go longer. TACOMA: Oil from May- June. Just curious to see how the oil's doing in...

Yes, I do have a 6 cylinder . Thanks for the feedback, guys. I went with the regular Penzoil 10W30 because it was a good deal. It was on sale for $2.39. I want to try this oil this summer, see what kind of uoa I get. Then I'll change it to Penzoil platinum 5W30 (which was also on sale) for...

I'm due for an oil change and I heard about the GC oil as being thick. I was wondering if it's good to use in the summer on my '07 Taco (6-speed; mileage: 7000Km). I found some GC oil in Canadian Tire and some Maxlife synthetic, and also Penzoil platinum-- $24 for a jug (I think). Any thoughts...

thanks for the reply. I'm thinking about using the German Castrol in the near future.(0W30)

I had trouble posting my oil report, so here's the long version (forgive me for being a newb.): BLACKSTONE LABORATORIES EQUIPMENT MAKE: Toyota EQUIPMENT MODEL: 4.0L V6 (1GR-FE) FUEL TYPE: SUN94 Gasoline(Unleaded) OIL USE INTERVAL: 1,320KM OIL TYPE & GRADE: Castrol GTX 5W/30 SM OIL FILTER...

How do you post your results here? I have my oil report but I'm very slow in typing. A little help, please?
