Mobil 1 Eo Ok For Rx350

[mrjohndoe]

Hi all, i'll be getting my rx350 in about a week or 2. just like to know whether using mobil1 engine oils are fine for my engine? i know i should be sticking to the original EO that was recommended (i dont know what it is btw) but a couple of friends have said that mobil1's EO aren't that bad. plus they help reduce fuel consumption. so i was thinking of trying it out.

any thoughts on this? thanks for your help!

The brand is irrelevant really as long as you stick with the correct viscosity and really boils down to personal preference. The 2010 RX requires 10W30 or 10W40 oil. I personally use AMSoil Series 3000 5W30 in my current (and previous) RX as it has a high TBN and HTHS. Oil analysis on my previous engine showed no wear. As long as you use the correct viscosity, Mobil 1 should be fine.
