I don't know about the Service Specs, etc, but I have been using Castrol
for over 25 years and have 3 High Mileage cars.

Also, I picked up a Supra a couple years ago, and the vale stem seals need
replacing. Big cloud of blue smoke on startup. Started using Castrol High
Mileage..no more blue smoke. After the next oil change I'll switch back to
regular Castrol.

If you can do your own changes, do it. They're easy. They don't cost a lot
less, but you'll get what you want for oil and filters.
