I'm done with my free oil changes from the dealer and ready to switch to full synthetic. I'm leaning towards going with Royal Purple but not sure which one is right for me. I take my car to the track, I have intake, exhaust, and header. I plan to go turbo in the future. I want the best I can get. I see they have the regular 5w30, Racing 21, and Racing 9 (which from what I read is for 4cyl import cars). Also, do these take the normal oil filter? If not what filter should I get? Thanks!

 

I use mobil 1 full synthetic with the stock filter...works for me

 

-Mobil 1 10w-30 Full Synthetic
-Get the pack of 10 OEM filters... Its a deal.

Why 10w-30?

 

Mobil 1 all the way. My old 89 Probe GT (turbocharged) had 210K miles on it, never burned a drop of oil nor leaked a drop of oil. All I and the previous (original) owner ever used was Mobil 1.

 

3.50 for a filter.... goooL! do you have to pay shipping at sparks?

 

which one should we use 5w30 or 10w30 ? im confused on this part as im going full syntethic soon.

 

5w-30 versus 10w-30, everything I've ever read says this difference is almost negligible, with some saying that the 5w-30 gives slightly better fuel economy (being slightly thinner).

The manual states to use 5w-30. My toyota dealer only carries 10w-30.

Either will work.

 

how many bottles of oil does the TC take? 4 or 5?

 

4, but the pan is 3.8qts.

 

i use japanese trd oil filter with 10w30 royal purple. what ever fits your budget best should be your choice.

 

I was wodering this, as the tech told me it took 4.5 quarts, but they only used a little less than 4. I took it in to have them change the oil, but i brought in my own Mobile 1 5w 30 Fully Synthetic. So now i have about 1.3-4 quarts left over...LoL One bottle is unopened the other is slightly less than half full.

 

anyone in the dallas texas area wanna chip in on some oil filters ( 10 pack of course) and some oil so I can do my oil change ;D

 

I use royal purple and that stuff is the best (5w-30). Right now I use Fram oil filters but im gonna switch to K&N oil filters on my next oil change.

 

I am buying filters from my dialer around $3.50, why will I go online?

 

ok many of you are using OEM filters which is ok but i HIGHLY recommend NOT


why? better oil filters are like better air filters. lets more air through with out sacrificing suckin in BAD crap!!!

puralator oi filter is the BOTTOM of all oil filters many of you should use. why? fram is well known but many test says fram is almost the same as your OEM or stock. IMO

because there is really no point in gettin synthetic if your jus gonna use a CRAPPY oil filter.

synthetic's are meant to last at least 10k miles. but you change it out ever 5 because its DARK NASTY etc because of your CRAPY filter... it didnt do its job and got dirty to quickly.

get a better filter, the oil lasts longer and you can fully utilize your synthetic oil.

if you dont believe me go test it and find out yourself. or go ask your neighborhood autozone/kragen sales person, they should know the benefits of a better filter and better oil.

mobil 1 with OEM filter lasted me ... 2-5k miles
mobil 1 with puralator filter. lasted me 10k miles.
my frend with mobil 1 oil and mobil 1 filter went up to 15k

I dont think it really matter what oils or filters you use in the beginning, but if you got like header and minor internal mods i would go for a better quality oil because the one thats used for the car when its stock burns up way too fast.
