    Dealer put 5w-30 is vehicle with 240,000 miles?

    I use 5w-30 in a high mileage Camry. It does consume oil. I found no real difference in consumption between 5w-30, 10w-30 and 10w-40. Currently using Total Quartz 5w-30 synthetic. Less engine noise at start up using the current 5w-30 oil and engine runs really smooth on this oil.

    amsoil sso vs motul 300 v power racing 5w-30

    Motul's 8100 series is made for daily use. They have more then one 5w-30 in their 8100 series. The 5w-30 X-Max being the thicker one.....if that is what you are looking for

    Elf/Total Motor Oils

    Which one of Total's 5w-30s was used in the Peugeot? They have several. The one I bought, INEO MC3 5w-30, is like Mobil's 5w-30 ESP. My understanding is that some of their synthetic oils have group III as a base oil...but not all of them. INEO MC3 5w-30 is PAO

    Elf/Total Motor Oils

    Well I just put some in a Toyota Camry. Total Quartz INEO MC3 5w-30. I had been using Mobil 1 10w-30 EP. The latest MSDS for this oil states: "The product is made from synthetic base oils (Polyalfaolefins)" From the data sheet, it seems to be one of the thicker 5w-30 oils. Too early for me to...

    Can I use 5W30 instead of 10W40 in older car ?

    I own a Toyota 2 years older then yours. I bought it from a private party last May. The maint. records given to me by the previous owner, showed that the dealership that serviced this car regularly, used 5w-30 oil. I have a 5L bottle of Total Quartz MC3 5w-30 that I am going to use in this car...

    Opinions on Castrol Edge?

    It might be a bit early to draw a firm conclusion if edge is worth the price.....for me, it would depend on well it works when compared to other oils. At the current price, 4 qts are cheaper then dinner out for two in the city I live in or to fill my gas tank....($3.29 gallon)

    Interesting comment by Mobil on its 5w30 ESP

    I think the above poster is right, that Mobil 1 5w-30 or 5w-30 EP are just fine for your car and that was what Mobil was trying to tell you. I would imagine they would like customers to keep buying their regular Mobil 1 or EP, instead of everybody looking for the ESP. From the specs on the...

    For the last time, which Mobil 1's are group IV

    I think most of the so called synthetic motor oils in the $7 to $8.50 a qt price range are probably a mixture of group III,IV,V oils. There are maybe a few exceptions such as German Castrol and Total INEO MC3 5w-30 (looks like PAO on the MSDS) Once the price hits $10 and more, it better be all...

    Gold vs. Green German Castrol... ?

    Has anybody tried this oil? Looks like a robust, thick 30 grade oil http://www.pentosin.com/flexxtrader/data/usf/Pento%20High%20Performance%205W-30_GB.pdf

    What about the other oils? eneos, elf, motul, etc

    I have seen the German Lubro Moly oil for sale in Napa Auto Parts. As far as the others on your list, they are for the most part available from online sellers. Fuchs Titan might not be for sale in the USA though
