    Oil recommendations for Toyota 4.7L V8?

    Just yesterday, I bought a 2000 Toyota Landcruiser with the 4.7 V8 and 130K on the odometer. The vehicle looks new, and I am getting ready to change the oil since the dealer said they had not.

    5w-40 in a Subaru Outback

    I have 6 quarts of redline 5w-40 oil from a previous Audi I used to own. I now own a 2011 Subaru Outback which specifies 5w-30 oil, but hate for the redline to go to waste. Thoughts?

    Recommendation For 2010 Audi A4 2.0

    I have just shelled out a staggering amount of money for my dream car and want to make sure we have a long and happy relation. I am thinking of changing the oil at 1000 miles and again at the regular service interval. I would like to use redline oil to help avoid cooking the turbo bearings...

    08 Tribeca Recommendations

    Greetings! I am new to this site, and am looking for advice on what synthetic oil would be best for my 2008 Subaru Tribeca which I purchased used with 35K on the odometer and know it was abused by the previous owner. I have read that the design of boxer engines really stresses oil, and that a...
