Motul 4000 Motion 10w-30 Mineral Car Engine Oil

[Jarson]

Hello, I was wondering if Motul 4000 Motion 10w-30 Mineral Car Engine Oil would be a good choice for my Lexus IS200 1G-FE engine with 90 000miles on the clock? The manual says to use 5w 30 but i was reading and a lot of people recommend to use 10w 30 when getting close to 100k miles?

I didn’t think mineral oil was recommended for any modern engine, usually semi or fully synthetics are the choice.

90,000 miles is nothing these days when modern engines are clocking up hundreds of thousands before serious mechanical work is required, mineral oil was the choice for engines that needed a rebuild at 30-40,000 miles.

I did read that 10w-40 was an option for higher mileage engines but if you have no engine wear symptoms I would stick to the manufacturer’s recommendation and change intervals.

Thats what Opie Oils website show me when I put my car reg. in and I selected 10w 30 🙈

Thank you for your advice Ill ring them tomorrow to change the order😁

 

Do you think the Motul 8100 Eco-Nergy 5w-30 Fully Synthetic Car Engine Oil would be ok as that is the first one the website is advising from the 5w30 range?

Just check in your owner’s manual to confirm it meets specification.

LPD have the Toyota oil at £35.00 at the moment.
