Fluid for engine

[salmanghiyas]

Hello guys Plz recommend engine oil and oil grade for vitz RS 1.5L ( engine - 1nz fe ) manual tranny 30000km driven .

[IllusionX]

Depends in your area. Otherwise, the grade is written on the oil cover. Usually it is 5w30.

[Exiwolfman]

You can run 0w20 ,5w20 or 5w30 in a Yaris I use 5w30 synthetic :)

thx all for the suggestive replies ...

well .. adding a bit more info ... temperature where i am usually remains HOT .. around 30 to 38 degree Celsius on an average .. its a coastal area so humidity always remains high ... we do not have clear and carpet roads here and the traffic is messy as well ... so the car mostly runs on low gears ... average speed on road is around 20 to 30 KM/h

ive heared from a person that if the temperature is HOT and car runs on low gears then dont go for synthetic .. either go for semi synthetic or the conventional oil ... and also do use higher oil grade .. like 10w 40 or 20w 40

[Exiwolfman]

OK ..well then either use 5w30 or go up to 5w40 for ur area I like using 5w40 in out Juke in summer months cos of the turbo and back to 5w30 winter both synthetic.

Awrite mate ...

Fully synthetic 5w 40 ?

mine is bone stock RS ... and what oil brand should i opt ? or just simply go to the toyota shop and buy the toyota motor oil

[Exiwolfman]

Ya full synthetic 5w30 or in ur case 5w40 ...Toyota has either regular or for extra syn oil but won't have 5w40 ...u see 5 means start up are both same but by going to 40 the oil will stay thicker at high temp so won't fin out think it would be ideal for ur application ..hot weather and stop and go traffic .

You wont have a problem with any synthetic 10w-30 product, your owners manual will probably explain in more specific detail.

Ive bought a 2nd hand car ... So there aint any manual in it :S

[Exiwolfman]

5w30 is stock for Yaris 1.5

oil grade should be written on the oil cap on the engine. Unless it has been changed for an aftermarket one..

[trunkout]

full synthetic. 5w30. MOST small 4 cylinders will be just fine with this.

[salmanghiyas]

Im not getting 5w30 neither 5w40 .... Only oil grade in full synthetic im getting here is 5w50 ... What should i do ?

[Exiwolfman]

50 maybe little much stick with regular but 5w30 ,40 then

[WeeYari]

What should i do ?

Have you bothered to get a recommendation from Toyota Service Dept? Would be interesting to see what they say and compare it to advice that you're getting from people who don't live anywhere close to Pakistan.

[salmanghiyas]

Well to be very honest ... We cannot even rely or take suggestions from toyota dealers here ... The oil which im getting is Mobil-1 5w50 which is im sure id genuine ...

SMH. Sad when people lie rather than attempt to answer a question that might lead down a path that would require them to do something.

I believe some Middle East countries only use 10w30/10w40 or higher due to the very high heat of the countries...

:thumbsup: Good to know, but why didn't the person at the Toyota dealer say that? If he meant that he'd never (in his experience) seen that grade used, then he should have said that. He shouldn't have said it didn't exist unless he knew for certain that it didn't. The OP didn't imply any language issues.
