Need your thoughts on choice of Oil.....

Post by Rob »

Im hopefully doing my oil change tomorrow - I have a 1993 3S-GE that is on 93K miles. Im thinking that it may be worth getting a slightly thicker oil than the recommended 15W 40 to make it a tiny bit quieter.

Any advice on grade or if I should go fully synthetic would be most welcomed.

Cheers
