If you had any questions as to what kind of oil and/or coolant is best for your Toyota, this might help.
Its from a Toyota Complete Maintenance Care booklet they gave to the Service Advisors at the dealerships...  QUOTE 6 out of 10 [Toyota] vehicles come with Exxon Mobil as "factory fill"

Lagos, I agree with you. If you have a fairly low mileage engine and it seals are still good, run syn. But if you run syn on a high mileage engine, its so thin, it'll leak like crazy. My beater is a Honda Accord w/ 176,xxx miles and i've never thought of putting syn in it.
