What oil and filter do you have and how often do you change (1 Viewer)

[sean2202]

Just out of curiousity what are people using for oil and filter in their 100 and how often do you change it. Anybody burning oil?
I have used M1 for years in all my vehicles (even my snowblower) usually with a M1 filter or Napa gold filter. My change intervalls are approx 5k miles. Next oil change I would like to send to blackstone lab for analysis (I have suspicion that it breaks down in severe conditions and higher rpm's at 3500 miles). In my opinion the 2uz-fe is very forgiving as far as neglected oil changes with its overall design.

Mobile 1. Toyota filter. Per Blackstone Lab's recommendation based on analysis I have been extending the interval between oil changes. The next one will be 8,500 - 9,000 miles. The last one was a little under 8,500. They didn't think 10,000 miles would be a problem but I want to ease up to that number. 178,000-ish miles on the LC and it does not consume any fluid other than fuel.

Similar to above in oil and mileage, but I use the M1-209 filter. With Blackstone's help, I've settled into a 8500-9000 mile interval as well.

Mobile 1 and Toyota filter every 10k miles. About every six months.

That's based on my SWAG (scientific wild ass guess).

Mobil 1 5w30, Toyota filter, every 5k miles. Never uses any oil. These engines per blackstone are very easy on oil. 10k oil/filter changes would not be a problem but I like to change every 5k miles.

Mobil 1 5w-30 Extended Performance synthetic. Mobil 1 M1-209 extended performance filter. Change oil every 5000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first.

I'm different... Amsoil highest performance synthetic every 8k. Running amsoil filter currently but going back to OEM next change.

Lmao... what he said...I use the same

5w-30 (whats on sale), Toyota filter, every 5k miles

Mobile1 High Milage with Mobile1 filter, was changing every 7,500 miles but this time I'm going 10k based on this:

Castrol GTX 5W-30, genuine Toyota oil filter, every 3K to 5K miles

 

[Copenhagen1]

Mobile 1 and M1-209 filter every 10k. Bought the truck with 135k on it and it now has 248k. Running like a champ. Not burning any oil or leaking any either.

I noticed many using the Toyota filter; is that the Japan version or the YZZD3?

 

[KINGER]

M1-209 filter, Rotella T6 5W-40 synthetic (it's my religion), 5k mile OCI. Not sure if I'll stick with 5W-40 or move to 5W-30 like everyone else seems to be doing...

I use YZZD3.

I was doing Mobil 1, a Toyota filter, and yearly changes because mileage was rarey more than about 5k per year.

M1,,5w30, and not picky about the filter. I'm a thousand times more concerned about the cooling system functionality than the oil. Not that MUD is the end-all, be-all, but in seven years of 100 ownership, I don't recall a single oil related issue. (I also don't recall a single useful thing that Blackstone had ever said in terms of real world impact, other than "keep paying us more $"). Cooling system issues will, on the other hand, kill a 2UZFE in pretty short order - as opposed to "slightly elevated levels of strontium 87, try extending your interval to 6,732.45 miles and send us forty-five bucks so we can tell you more crap without context..." I guess my philosophy about oil in the 2UZFE is, "change it, use a filter, and drive the sucker."

Interesting to see the amount of people using M1 and the lab results thank you. My 2000 LC calls for M1-102 filter but I see others using a M1-209. Is that a better filter? Any of you running 10k between changes change your filter out at 5k?

I understand the 209 is a bit longer so that would equate to more filtering capacity and a tad more oil capacity. I'm going with the 209 next change.
