94 Land Cruiser with 239K miles. Unknown lineage and care from 0-217K miles. Has a rebuilt head on it. Consumes some oil. I've used regular Castrol 10w30.
The manual calls for 10w30 "Energy Conserving II" oil. I don't think that's around any more. That being said, is energy conserving something i should use? (for instance, in another request for an 05 Subaru turbo, non-energy conserving oil was suggested).
Rotella T5 can be had in 10w30 in non energy conserving. Any good for this use? Or, thinking of moving to Castrol Edge 10w30, for no other reason than I seem to have good luck with Castrol. But, I'm open to any suggestions.
Also, I've read on here to use Toyota filters. I have no problem with this--but would they be better than Fram Ultra Guard?
This rig is used on some decent trails in Colorado, but is stock.
Oil change intervals have not really been established under my ownership.
Also--high mileage oil? Again, the head is new
