My 2009 Toyota Avalon now has 204k on it and has had Mobil 1 Full Synthetic since new and just changed over to their Full Synthetic High Mileage with the extended performance filter for it's last oil change, at a cost of approx. $55 with the oil filter-5 qt. bundle at Advance and the extra 2 qts., it takes 6.4 qts., so have to buy 7. It gets changed every 5k.
NAPA has a terrific sale going on with the NAPA Platinum filter. The cost will be half of what the Mobil1 is. However, I cannot find out if it meets the ILSAC GF-5; it's not listed anywhere. My mechanic friend assures me that it's a Valvoline based oil, MSDS sheet confirms it, but no mention of it being ILSAC GF-5. Does either the Full Synthetic or High Mileage have this spec, it's not listed on the jug or Website. I have read the opinions of this oil here, and it seems it should be "OK" to run, but want to be sure. Also, if this oil is acceptable should I go with the high mileage? Any opinions on the NAPA Platinum oil filter vs. Mobil 1 extended performance filter?
Many thanks in advance and Merry Christmas wishes!
