    ATF WS

    Just read on Lexus Owner's Manual that one can use Toyota Genuine Oil or a good equivalent for the transfer case & differential, but such concession is NOT shown in the ATF WS where is says only use Toyota Genuine ATF WS. Why would Toyota make such a distinction? Of course in the immediate one...

    Oil filter for 2017 Lexus RX 350

    Hi Fellows, had a look at the OEM oil filter cartridge and found it to be of not good quality IMO. Lexus recommends changing it every 16,000 Kms (10,000 miles). Do any of you know of a "Better" quality unit, as IMO the OEM doesn't look like it would last that long. Or my impression was wrong...

    0W20 or 5W30 or 0W30

    On my car manual it says to use 0W20 it also says that one can use 5W30 but to go back to 0W20 at the next oil change, why? Is this only for fuel economy only or the tolerances are such that W30 may be too thick for continued use? and if the latter is not the case could one use 0W30 thereby...

    Mercedes change from Mobil 1 to Shell

    Do any of you fellows know the specs of MB Shell Oil? I was at the MB dealer today and looked at the bottle but all it says is MB oil. Am wondering if I should stay with Mobil1 or let them use this Shell oil. I know that the change is due to commercial interests and not to performance.

    Mobil1 5W40 vs Mobil1 M 5W40

    Hi Fellows, MercedesBenz has this Mobil1 M oil which is good for 12 months or 20,000 Km, seems to be available only through dealers. My indy says says that the regular Mobil1 is good for 15K or 12 months. What say you? I value your opinion!
