    Update: 5W-30 & Heavier Recommended RoTW

    Happy to help! I'm a data guy, so I geek out a bit on it. I didn't notice any difference in MPG I do notice a quieter drivetrain, especially right after start-up. Definitely not a placebo effect I bought my one-owner 2008 LX with 157k miles on it, with a spotless service history at the same...

    This isn't completely abnormal as I remember reading somewhere there are two different dipsticks for the LC200/LX570. One has a green dot and one has a blue dot. That would give credence to there being a different size oil pan.

    If someone wants to Venmo me $85 ($35 Blackstone + $40 2 x 5-gallon jugs + $10 filter) to perform the 500 mile flush, I'm happy to do so. Otherwise, I'm feeling pretty good about my contribution & posting what will be 3 Blackstone analysis for the good of the I8MUD forum.

    I sent my 0w-20 Shell Synthetic sample w/ 4500 miles on oil in last week. I’ll post results here. 169,500 miles on 2008 LX Plus I exchanged 1qt 0w-20 for 1qt Marvel Mystery Oil when taking the 169,500 sample. I’ll be sending in a second sample at 170,000 to compare the effects of MMO on 500 miles.

    I would switch to 5w-30 on this next oil change so I can do back-to-back with same engine, but I have about 25qt of 0w-20 on my shelf from various closeout deals I need to work through :)
