Best 0w20 for 2013 GS350 F-sport

[sky06]

hi guys.

What's the best oil for the Lexus GS350?

for the last decade, I have been running Mobil 1 full synthetic and also Castrol Edge..

the car calls for 0w20.. should I stay with Mobil 1 or Castrol.. or should i try something different? like Amosoil? Eneos, Royal Purple or Motul?

the main use of my new car is weekend drive with the occasional date night with the lady..

what filter should i be using?

my avg for 6 months of driving is around 3-4k miles.. it could be less..

thanks.

Fuchs Titan GT1 0w-20 if you can get or Amsoil signature, mobil1 EP 0w-20.
Happy motoring
Cheers.

The Titan GT1 is all but impossible to find in the states.

The ENEOS Sustina 0W-20 is also very good, but also near impossible now to find (it's NOT on amazon anymore).

Sparktec Motorsports in Cali has it, IF you are close to them, or don't mind shipping charges.

Any 0w-20?

 

[sky06]

it has to be full synthetic.

TGMO 0w20

Or any ILSAC GF-5 oil. I have a post on the same topic. I'm assuming the Lexus 3.5L has the same requirements as the Toyota.

"best" is probably Mazda branded 0w-20 with 600 ppm of moly. That's over twice the amount of moly anybody else has. They are going for low friction and wear. Also, the VI is over 200, which means it stays thicker when hot too, as VII keeps oil thicker when above 100+ C.

Probably you would never notice any difference with any proper rated oil or filter.

I'd stick with Mobil 1 or Castrol, that would be my pick for your car if you weren't already using them.

Pennzoil Ultra would be my first choice based on some independent testing I've seen ...

But have to ask, still under warranty? How many miles total? Are you changing yearly, even if you don't make the OLM distance?

 

[sky06]

the current mileage is in the low 20k's.. and is still under warranty till 2019..

Stick with what you've been using with a standard OEM comparable oil filter.

Kendall GT-1 0W20 would be my pick.

What 'independent testing'? Real engineering tests or just hunches?

Lol, some of the things you say.

"Independent testing"? Please share if you can.

Mobil 1 EP 0w20. A predominately PAO based oil desngied for longer OCI's.

 

[Oregoonian]

To save a few $$$.....QSUD 0w20 would be a good fit your situation.... with OCI's once a year at between 7500K to 8500K.

As far as a filter....why not get one of the best (Fram Ultra)..... and use it over two OC's. (2 X 7500K = 15,000K).

I have a 2014 GS350, non F-sport. At the 20,000 mile oil change I used M1 EP 0w-20 with a Toyota/Lexus filter. I have 6,000 miles on the oil and have had no issues so far. No noticeable consumption, and fuel economy has been good. No increase in engine noise either.

I intend to run a 10,000 mile OCI, and I plan on getting an oil analysis with TBN and TAN at that time. Stay tuned.
