There's a post about this somewhere...

The general idea seems to be a full synthetic if you have that much money to put out, or a semi-synthetic if not.

Everyone used all sorts of brands from what I remember.

I use to use Mobil 1 when it was a lot cheaper, and now generally use Castrol.

I use Penrite 15W/40 ... or was it 10W/40 ..???
though honestly .. i cant tell the difference between that and Magnatec 10W/40 ... which is what I used to use for about 30,000Kms...
I recently switched over to Penrite about 15,000kms ago ...
i change my oil pretty much every 5000 - 6000 kms anyway

I know lexus service uses Magnatec ... so its good stuff !! :D

Neither Giltraps or North Shore Toyota use full synthetic. I always specify Mobil 1 when the car is serviced.

I swear by 76R fully synthetic SAE 10w-30... always use it in my cars, and all customers cars.... but it aint cheap!!!

But it is by far the best i have used, which is why i don`t mind spending on it..
