Yeah, just wondering what oil you guys are using for your GVR4. I've been using Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic since I bought the car. I've been reading online that M1 isn't as 'good' as what it used to be. So, what type of oil brand are you using?

10w-30 Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic

I really like Rotella T6 Synthetic 5w40. I've been using it since last year with no complaints.

I run Shell Rotella T6 "synthetic" 5W40. It's about $20/gallon at Autozone, quieted my lifters, and improved my MPGs a little bit. If I'm not mistaken, Rotella T6 has more cleaning agents than most. Not an ideal oil if you make a lot of short trips. (My commute is 25mi each way and the car spends most of the year in traffic with the AC on in 100° temps.)

Been running this in 464 over two years now, with no ill effects.

Castrol Syntec Blend 10W-30 usually. It's been getting harder to find it in the 5 gallon value jugs locally, so I may switch to something else.

I usually run Castrol 10W30. Might switch over to Amsoil soon though.
