So 5,000 miles on Maxlife or 12 months should be fine. Why do the owners manuals call for every 4 months?

7,500 miles in normal use and 5,000 in severe use but I don't trust it. This is the motor that started the Toyota sludge issue. I'm just curious as to what others with the exact motor have used

Who here owns one of the Toyota 1mzfe v6 motors and runs Dino oil? Any comments on oil change intervals you have used would be appreciated. No synthetic for me on this car.

About 6 months ago I put a set of trucontacts on my odyssey and they have been the best tire yet. I was always a Michelin Man but this set of Conti won me over. Nicer ride than the Michelin defender and better grip in wet and snow than the Michelin MXv4. Oh and they were cheaper and had a $70...

Put a set of Altimax rt43 on my Altima about 6 months ago and a set of Contenental true contacts on the odyssey about the same time. I love both tires. The continentals are a bit nicer in ride quality and noise but the value for the Altimax is the best. They grip in the wet like nothing I've...

And Castrol import multi does not list it. You have to go with what is on their website for download. http://msdspds.castrol.com/bpglis/FusionPDS.nsf/Files/064FD5179C8D0FFD80257AA90053687A/$File/Castrol%20Transmax%20Import%20MV%20%5F03521%5F.pdf

Here you go. As you can see it's the typical suitable for use statement on Maxlife. This means they say it is good for that requirement but the manufacturer won't sign off on anything generic so they have to say that. It comes down to the trust level you have in the brand. At least they say it...

Have you taken it to a known trustworthy transmission shop in your area? It sounds like it's fluid related due to the fact that your changing out newer fluid seems to help for a short time but you never know. I had a friend with a Camry v6 that would shift strange and when he took it to a local...

I have a 98 Avalon 1mzfe Toyota v6 and it runs great on maxlife blend. I wouldn't go past 5,000 miles and I WOULD stick with Dino or semi syn. My Honda leek slowed a bunch when I went to Pennzoil High Mileage Conventional and leaked like a strainer on Pennzoil Platinum. I do t care what anyone...

I agree and would still do my own oil changes just remember when under warranty and you take your vehicle wan oil change or inspection at a dealership they are looking for warranty work and if they spot anything wrong they will be happy to fix it and get paid. Once your out of warranty they are...

No idea the previous oil change intervals used?

OP help me understand. I see two reports. How many miles were on the first report? Do you have any thoughts between your 5-30 and 0-20 test.

I'm just going to say it. When your driving down the highway just about any gas station will have name brand oil for sale. I just took a road trip from FL to NC and every gas station I stopped at had brand name oil. Pennzoil. Mobil. Chevron. Havoline. Quaker State. Texaco. I just don't...

Let me just jump in and ask this question. Does everyone agree that the 20 weight would reduce average oil temperatures compared to the 30? If indeed they both provide solid protection wouldn't you want the cooler oil temps in summer?

thanks

I think it would be cool if we created a sticky or some place to go where people post latest oil promotions going on so we all can take advantage of it when specials show up. Thoughts?

I hope you're right. I was bitten by Hondas OL M. So were more than a few pilot owners
