Hi everyone,
I've got a Lexus IS350 with the 2GR-FE. I haven't looked this deep into motor oils and would like to see what your recommendations are. The car gets driven all-year round in Toronto where it gets as hot as +40 degrees celsius in the summer months, and up to -30 degrees celsius in the winter months. The car gets driven to redline pretty often.
The car also gets an oil change at around twice a year (once before the summer and once before the winter - this happens to be where my 8000KM OCI has fallen to). My question is, i'm currently using Pennzoil UP 0W20. Does anybody recommend the Caterham Blend (TGMO 0W20 + 0W40 Blend) for these motors or can you guys offer other better alternatives?
I'd want to run an oil that's thin on startup that can offer protection on once the motor gets heated up.
What are your weight recommendations and brand recommendations?
Thanks
