Oil: Mobil Super 5000 5W-30
Filter: OEM Toyota Filter
Engine: 1GR-FE , 4.0 Liter V6 (4x4)
3,000 miles on oil
9,500 miles on motor
This is my third oil change on the Tacoma with the first one being at ~1,223 miles. I have been trying to change it every 3,000 miles until I could get some feedback on the analysis. Looks like the Mobil 5000 held up pretty well, especially since I drive it pretty hard at times. This is the only oil I have been using since I have owned the truck. I also made a comment on using synthetics since I drive about 80 miles a day (all highway) and would like to prolong oil changes if I can as well as waiting for the metals to go down since its still breaking in. But to me, this oil seems pretty good. Any other suggestions on oils for Taco?
I am also curious about the Titanium levels. I thought Mobil Super 5000 had some amount of Ti in place of the Moly after looking at VOA. I am also wondering why the viscosity is so low without any high fuel dilution. Thoughts?
Thanks!
