Hey guys! New to forum but been reading for awhile. I have a 2001 Lexus is300 with high miles, 200k. Its a inline 6 cly. We just bought it for my wife to drive and have 2 baby boys so wanna try to make it last as long as possible. I don't think the previous owners took the best care of it. I know these are great motors but its consuming a little oil nothing crazy I don't think. Maybe 1 quart every 2000 miles but that's more than it should use I think.
It called for 5w-30 from the factory. Im not sure I wanna go syn. Cause I hate to chance it creating leaks since I don't see it leaking now. Otherwise I would probably go Mobil 1 10w30 high mileage or the 0w40 possibly. Also considering rotella so would appreciate some feedback on that. I'm in TN and its fairly hot now and gets down in 20's or so in the winter.
What do u guys suggest to maybe slow the oil use and make the motor last the longest?
Thanks guys!
