Engine Oil?, What engine oil does everyone use? Options

[TRDweaponX]

I was just curious what engine oil does everyone on here use? I use a Castrol synthetic blend 10w30 in both of my Celica GTs and I live in east Texas.

I have 119k on my 5sfe and use Mobile 1 synthetic with the top of the line filter sold at walmart. It guarantees a 15-20k mileage together. Even after 15k (which is when I change it) the oil is still fairly clean and doesn't get goopy.

Every 15k? Gah...after 4k (I typically change every 3k) its a wee nasty, not goopy and black but not looking like fresh oil either. Although I do have 220k on a motor that's never had its internals touched (knock on wood) and I use convential oil (not big on synthetic even though you don't have to change it as often).

Isnt 7500 the recommended interval? I change mine every 3000, but then I dont care about this engine. My bike and pickup get their oil changed every 1000 miles. The inside of those engines are clean enough to eat off of, which leads me to believe that the longer you go between oil changes the more brown crap that gets caked onto every surface inside the motor.

Your cars must love you. I would go broke doing oil changes every 1000 miles since I daily drive mine.
