Would you recommend the MRS 5w40 oil over expensive mobil 1/Castrol 5w30?

Neither. Your car uses 5w20

Is it safe to run my engine with Mobil oil 20W50? as I couldn't get synthetic oil in my area at the moment.

2007 Lexus GS350 AWD

No. Your car doesn't REQUIRE synthetic. Just get regular 5w30

Thanks. I have only used Mobil 1/5w30 as that is what is written on the cap. Had to drain and refill prematurely so I want a much cheaper option even if another oil grade. High mileage engine.
If the engine will take, I want to change to a local oil.
@nurey, is the MRS oil full synthetic ? Also what is this sleeve filter that you use?

as long as you are using 5w30 you'll be fine. Conventional is way cheaper than synthetic

This is only $27.89 http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=CQO&partNumber=CQ620-5QT

Hi radautoworks, you are doing well.


Please, what engine oil will you recommend for a Hyundai Accent O8 model with 1.6ltr engine? What transmission fluid as well? I was thinking Mobil SAE-30


PS: my money go soon complete so I’ll drive down to your shop and greet you with malt while they work on my car. The temperature light keeps showing on the odometer. Nothing overheats for now though

The MRS is full synthetic I have been using it for 7years plus on several vehicles and no complaint. I don't understand sleeve filter is it a brand of oil filter or what? But when changing engine oil, you are required to replace the oil filter too.

Your are right it's black cover, but it's really Nigeria produced and I think it's less than a year in the market, the promo was last year and it still sells for about 5,400. I used it twice now on Naija used 2009 accord i4, and there was remarkable improvement in engine silence and fuel economy. The engine exhaust now releases steams upon morning startup. The previous owner was using 20w-40. I took the risk and still observing if any implications.
