i’m concerned that your inquiry is ….. well its a little ford vs chevy meaning it smells like a planted post thats not genuine to the backbone of this forum.
Planted post? Not genuine to the backbone of this forum?
It's a legitimate question on a 400k mile 100 series. My second in the garage. Do you think I've been lurking 10yrs to do a planted post on what oil to use on a high-mileage cruiser?
They all use the same Toyota filter and I use various Mobil 1 oils. Don't over think this. Oil is not a big deal for Toyota engines except my 2F. It gets 15w-50 to help with camshaft wear.
I love the high milage M1 oil. Great detergent and high thermal protection.
As usual there's zero PDS sheets or anyone looking at real specs in another oil thread. Just a bunch of rumors.
Exxon has more R&D money than any company out there. They produce nothing but phenomenal products.
I don't see a single phrase about M1 requiring you to continue to use the HM oil or any of their oils for that matter after an oil change.
Where is this documented?
Posted a thread a couple days ago on the 100 series forum about buying my 361k 100 series. Glad that I found this thread. I cannot decide on what oil to put back into it, I think I will call the previous owner and ask if he remembers what kind of oil they ran through it. Like stated above, HM oil is something I want to avoid, IF they haven't already used it. My 80 has 245k miles and for 10k miles I've been running Rotella 10w-30 T4 conventional "diesel" oil with a mix of 2 cans of liqimoly ms02 friction reducer. Knock on wood, no leaks, no oil burning. Averages 15-16mpg on the interstate on 34s. good enough for me. I guess that's what the 100 will probably be getting too.
182k, PO said he ran synthetic for a bit but went back to conventional. Planning on running conventional as he did. My 4R 2UZs have been running synthetic because that’s what POs used.
