Hello all. I'm interested in your opinion of the best oil for:
- 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser (FZJ80 1FZ-FE)
- Mileage: 205,000
- Location: mid-Atlantic region with average January low of 25F and average July high of 90F.
- Usage: Daily driver. Mostly short trips with city driving. Occasional long 1,500 mile road trips with highway driving. No off-roading.
- Known problems: Burns about 1 quart every 1,500 miles with conventional 10W-30. Some oil leakage from valve cover gasket.
- Conventional oil is fine and probably preferable to reduce cost vs. synthetic. Store bought or online ordering is ok.
- Will do my own changes.
- Currently using a K&N HP-3001 filter. (Similar to: Champion Labs Performance; Mobil 1)
Owner's manual says:
- Type: API SH or ILSAC multigrade.
- Viscosity: 10W-30 for temperatures above 0F. 5W-30 for temperatures below 50F.
- Change intervals: 7,500 miles / 12 months for regular use. 3,750 miles / 6 months for severage use.
- Oil capacity: 7.8 quarts
