Just purchased a 1995 es300 and it is due for an oil change, I'm going to switch to Valvoline maxlife synthetic 5w-30w and use thier new maxlife oil filter (the car has 81,500 miles on it)
I've read here and on other forums that you shoul flush the engine befor switching to a synthetic oil.
If this is so any sugestions as to what flush to use and anyone had any experience with the maxlife synthetic oil or filter? As a side note he had the dealer do his oil changes and used quaker state dino oil ( he had the 250,000 mile waranty from quaker state,but it reads use chage oil every 4,000 miles and he's slighly over that now--so they would not honnor the waranty now--i'm assuming)
