I was just over on theOilDropServer forms searching around for some UOA or personal input from people running German Castrol Syntec 0W30 in their 3RZFE-powered Tacomas/4-Runners. Unfortunately and much to my surprise, there was only one UOA(Used Oil Analysis) result posted for this specific combination of oil and motor, and it happened to be on a pretty old truck(1996 with quite a few miles) and there was no history of UOA results or any baselines to compare against on his truck... so his results don't really help much.
Does anyone here run this oil in their Taco/4-runner and have any input on it for this particular engine?(use oil analysis, or just general observations)
For some background info... My truck gets most of its driving in the winter months where temps are between 5 and 40 degrees and I change it at around 3000-3500 Miles always with full synthetic.... currently Mobil 1 5W30 paired with a Purolator Pure One oil filter.
I just picked up some of this oil this week for my other car because UOA results on this specific engine were unbelievably stellar... and I was hoping that the same might hold true for our Toyotas, so I could maybe switch the truck to it as well.
