Yeah I do believe the factory ones are pretty good, we have 03 Camry with over 100k on it and still plenty remaining. I dare say they would be better if we didn’t have the trouble of the disks on the front warping, but we got them machined and they came up good as new. But I should point out we live in the country and only use the brakes about 5 times a trip :D. Dunno if you've noticed that they 'rock' race machinery after it has come in. Reason is that very hot brake disks have part of the disk covered by the pad assembly which causes the disk to cool unevenly causing warping. After a hard stop or two let the car roll a metre or so every now and again for the few minutes to allow the disks to cool evenly. I hope this helps ..

mobil1 silver or gold. either way, i cant exactly afford $79-$99 per bottle. if you can hook me up with your contact i'd jump on your bandwagon anyday mate. im victoria If you have an ABN number you can buy direct from the Distributor - Pacific Petroleum in Qld, Statewide in WA, dunno about Vic.

Running Mobil1 in everything. '02 Camry V6 has 140K, '93 Corona SF has 135K, both run Mobil1 5W50 as recommended by Mobil with 10K Oil & Filter changes, and I buy 20l at a time from the Mobil Distributor which works out ~$12.00 per litre. Honda motorcycle has 192K running Mobil1 Race4T with 6K oil & Filter changes. None of the engines use enough oil to register on the dipstick between changes. Best oil ever made IMO.
