Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior What oil should i use?

what oil should i put into my eninge i have a 2002 celica gt maunal transmission?

5w30 Royal Purple Synthetic Oil is what i use

In your tranny?

lol my bad let me rephrase the question, what oil should i put into my engine, not my tranny, i messed up on the wording...

I use Mobil 1 5w30 with Mobil 1 filter.

Costs me a little less than $50 for an oil change if I do it myself.

holy sh1t, i can get an oil change for 15 bucks at a local shop, inculding the oil and filter, but i would still rather do it myself hehe...thanks for the info guys, ill go with the 5w30's

$15 won't get you synthetic oil, or a decent filter.

Mobil-1 15W50 ($22 for 1 gallon at Walmart)
Toyota filter ($7 from dealer) and labor is always $0.

I use 5W30 royal purple also

I used to use the valvoline synthetic but the royal purple hold up better under constant abuse and I found a place to get the royal purple for the same price as the valvoline lol

www.janddperformance.com [janddperformance.com] is where I order mine from They also got a nice mustang dyno there too depending on wher eyou are in so cal

Mobil-1 or TRD synthetic

Castrol 5W30 Full Synthetic & Toyota Filter.

Any big brand Full synthetic oil is good, just stay far far far away from Quaker State oil, that shit will kill your car.
Using the recommended 5w-30 is also a must, 10w-40 isnt that bad of a change but 15w-55 is too thick, its robbing some horses and is usually used for truck engines.

what's that, i've never heard of it. i go with castrol synthetic...

5w30 Royal Purple is the best for the money at $5.99/qt. Yes others may say they can get full synth for like $2.00/qt but not all full synth motor oils are created equal. Another good one is Redline Oil 5w30 but more expensive at $8.99/qt. The next oil change I'm going Royal Purple 5w30. Oil Filter will be K&N Performance Gold part number HP-1003, as always.

toyota oil 5w-30 and toyota oil filter. cost me about $1.45 a quart plus $6 oil filter. so around 10-15$$.

^^^ dude , where do you buy your oil? It cost me only $9 the other day

And listen people, oil is oil!!!! It's your own personal preference.

Read his post!
He said "Mobil 1" Synthetic!
And Syynthetic oil is not equal regular oil.

i do'nt know how you guys spend so much on a oil change it cost me 18.88 for 5 quarts of mobil 1 syn. and a filter is like 5 bucks so all together i spend like 25 no where near 50 thats alot

^^^ I've never came close to spending $50 on oil, even if it's "Synthetic". $50? Whatever floats your boat man

OK I'm defending slidr here, LOL.
It depends on where did he get the oil from.

Now, READ my post up there, I paid less than $30 because the damn Walmart near my place sell 5-gallon Mobil 1 for $22, not $18. and Toyota sell the filter for $7, not $5.

Peace.

, just kidding man. Sounds reasonable

BUT Anyways

32 bucks including mobil filter and m1 5w30 from autozone.

okay so im just going to go with the popular vote and go the royal purple 5w30 sythetic oil...Thanks guys.
