Gonna change my oil soon with spring around the corner, temperatures will be in the 30's-50's still for the next few months. What's the most suitable oil I should go with in my 145k mile 5SFE? Also, which filters do you guys use? I was on Jeepforum with my previous Jeep and it was made clear NEVER to use Fram filters as they're made of cardboard! |

Valvoline High-Mileage synthetic 5w30 oil
Supertech (walmart) oil filters Used to buy Wix filters, but had just as good of luck with the cheap ones at Walmart, read somewhere that they are just rebranded filters and are pretty decent. Once spring really sets in going to change to 10w30 oil. Wouldn't waste the money on Mobil1 since the 5sfe isn't a performance motor. -------------------- 1999 Celica GT
