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.

Synthetic oil doesn't break down as fast, hence it lasts longer. how clean your oil is depends on your filter. The filter I use (Fram Ultra) removes 98% of dirt and grime. I can still see through my oil after 15K. Also, 15k is the low side. I know lots of people that go 20k. I also have a Nissan Armada that I run the same and have 280k on the engine of which I have never touched. Neither my celica or my armada use or leak any oil. Synthetic is totally worth the investment. You just have to watch it with cars with older seals. Sometimes when you haven't used it before it will leak through older seals. Regardless you should pull your dip stick every 2-3k and check your levels and cleanliness. You should also run cleaners every 25-50k if you want your engine to really last.
