It's your car you can do what you want... if you do not believe us just go to your local Toyota dealer and ask them to pull up ant TSB's on the 1NZ engine and POOF it will say everything Chino and I have been trying to tell you for the last hour or so

no, don't get me wrong, i don't not believe you guys. i didn't know what TSB stood for. i thought it meant Toyota Service Booklet. lol...that's why i ran down to my car and checked the booklets.

ok, i just have to find out if RP makes a 0W-20 weight.

Black Yaris · 04-05-2007, 09:20 PM

the TSB suggest 0w-20 or 5w-20, 5w-20 is more common

Go4th · 04-05-2007, 09:27 PM

it dont say 0w-20 is ok but put 5w30 back in asap?

thats what mine says.

Been runnin 0w-20 like the Toyota TSB said in my car for the last 2 oil changes, getting better fuel econ

Black Yaris · 04-05-2007, 09:34 PM

if you realy want me to I will find and post the offical Toyota TSB if ya'll do not believe me

Go4th · 04-05-2007, 09:44 PM

i was guessing from when i purchased the car 6 months ago what i read.

it says 10w-30 may be used however it should be replaced with 5w-30 at next oil change.

i thought it was 0w-20 but it is 10w-30 that could be used.

copy and paste what you found black yaris

Do some more internet homework/research....you will find that RP is not the best synthetic on the market...there are more better like Mobile1 and especially Amsoil...still, RP is better then any mineral....

Mobile1 class III Synth
RP class IV Synth
Amsoil class IV Synth

in your words, as stated above"... RP is not the best synthetic on the market... ...there are more better like moble1..."

Hey Pavel put that doober down man, it is messin with your head

Kaotic Lazagna · 04-05-2007, 09:36 PM

i believe you, but i want to see the TSB. i've never heard about it before, and like i said, i thought it stood for Toyota Service Booklet.

don't think anyone here's doubting you though.

Kaotic Lazagna · 04-06-2007, 04:02 PM

well, i ended up buying Mobile 1 full syn. 5W-20. RP doesn't have a 0W-20 and the store manager said to get Mobile one instead of RP. they didn't have 0W-20 in stock for the Mobile 1, so i ended up getting 4 quarts of 5W-20. i bought a Napa Gold Oil filter because the SM said it's the same as Wix.

i read all of the replies here when i get back. i have to pick up my laptop now...

Black Yaris · 04-06-2007, 06:40 PM

you will see a pretty good differance once you switch, you will be happy that you did

Kaotic Lazagna · 04-06-2007, 06:44 PM

okay, i think the next oil change that i'll be doing is within the next 9k or 10k or sooner miles, just to let what ever remaining conventional oil out. from then on, maybe 10-15k mile intervals.

Black Yaris · 04-06-2007, 06:45 PM

every 5000 miles is the way to go bud

Kaotic Lazagna · 04-06-2007, 06:55 PM

i thought they last longer than that?
