5w/30 Vs. 10w/40

[Felix]

Hi guys,

Read quite a few of the posts regarding the oil here, like: which is the best engine oil to use

In my case: 03 reg IS200 with Auto box, done 56K

full synthetic seems to be the must

which brand and which grade would you use and WHY ?

many thanks

I always use Millers synthetic racing oil, i swear by it and its a brilliant quality oil! its used on alot of the high performance cars like the scoobys,evos,supras etc.. thats what i would recomend anyway :) it also lasts! not like these larger commercial names like shell & Castrol that claim to be the best but honestly they spend that much money on marketing and brand awareness they claim to be amazing but there just the same as all the other oils. hope thats helps lol

As a second choice Silkolene is a good oil to use, but personally millers is the favourite.

sounds all sound,

however, how about 5w/30 better or 10w/40 better.

thanks

5/30 is for colder temps - look in the your owners manual and it shows you the ranges of all the various oils.
