It comes down to personal preference and experience. I have used Castrol GTX 10W30 and 10W40 non-synthetic in my 83 900T 5 spd, 87 900S 16V 5 spd and currently in my 87 9000S. Castrol was recommended to me by a Toyota dealer in Mississippi for the new van I bought in 85, because it is formulated for the smaller engines. I have used it ever since. I change my oil and filter every 3500 miles. I had over 251,000 on my 83 900T, when it was totalled by atruck. My 87 900S had 110,000 when I bought it in 95', and almost 147,000, when it was wrecked. My 87 9000S had 145,890 and now has 207,419. I have also been using Militec-1 since January 1994. I am sure many will give their input. Ken Washington 87 9000S 87 900S 83 900T
