I now have over 100K on my Camry SC and I was using 10W40 and recently 20W50 Castrol GTX (I live in So Cal). I'm now switching over to this...Valvoline Max Life 100% Synthetic (not the *Blend*). Did a lot of DD and the specs on this oil are outstanding. It has Zinc..Phos..Sodium..Calcium and Moly added. I'm using the 10W30 here.

That's what I've been using in my solara since I bought it over 4 years ago. I highly recommend.

hmm... car says to use 5w 30. i checked out the link and dont know what those numbers mean, but i have 114k miles on my 3.0 and i wonder should i be using 10w 30? as of now im using pennzoil platinum 5w 30 full synthetic.

Unless you live in a warmer climate, stick with 5W30.

I've decided to make a *cocktail*

Going to mix Valvoline: 3Qts 10W30 Maxlife (synthetic) and2 Qts Synpower Synthetic 5W40. (So Cal car with 108K mi SC'ed).

10w 40 winter, and 20w 50 summer, mobil 1............
