I use Mobil One in my 2006 Camry I4. Been that way since after break in of 5,000 miles. I have 65,000 miles now...I go 10,000 between changes. Great gas milage. No problems yet.

[QUOTE=SAM-RAI;1320992]Just a follow up report and update... After many miles of testing the new Mobil 1 0W30 on the Camry and Avalon, I've found very little difference with gas mileage on the Camry. The mileage average vary between 28.5 - 29.3 depending on driving habits etc. With that said, I went back and stayed with Mobil 1 5W30 as the engine feel much tighter with high revs. The average MPG on the 5W30 is 28.5 - 28.9 so its not much different there.

Don't know it this would change the mpg much but it is recommended in the Gen6 Camry I4 to run 0-20 synthetic not 0-30 for a increase in mpg. In fact the camry I4 recommends 5-20 or 0-20 only.

5 Speed - The oil testing and report were done on a 04 Camry. Toyota recommended oil is 5W-30 not 5W-20 or 0W-20 as the latest models.
