But the next thing you'll know is that he'll pretend that he hasn't been going around for months telling others to use 0W-20 because he's **used it for 50+K miles with no problems**, but I guess he's got the UOA's to prove it, but I've never seen him post those UOA results yet.

I doubt that he's put that many miles on his Yaris since the TSB was issued. The 50+K miles is probably the actual miles on the car, not how many miles 0W-20 has worked for him.

What Silverglow doesn't know (because he dosen't have an oil temp gauge), is that under normal driving (city, and 75mph highway cruise), the oil temp does not go above 85 degrees C.

At the track, I've seen 109 degrees C at the end of a 25 min. session, but that was 25 min. playing above 5000 rpm.

I don't know what the curve looks like as far as temp. vs. viscosity, but I'd be willing to guess that he's not seeing the full 20w most, if not all, of the time.

That would be my guess as to why the TSB specifically does not list 0W-20 as a sub for the 1NZ.

So.. I'm getting quite lost in this thread..

Which is a thinner oil? 5w20 or 5w30?

and also is thinner better?

What do you guys think about the Motul 300V line of oils.. =P compared with the RP motor oils? (mainly the 300V Power Racing)

Last thing.. are some of you saying the RP motor oils are semi synthetic?

Thanks in advance =)

You may want to try the Motul BMW LL01, prob the best all round oil around. I'll attach the spec sheet. The 300 v while it may work on the street for a bit is a racing oil. Sometimes they lower the detergency to reduce preignition, you need that detergency on a street motor. Cheers!

Jesus Christ folks the world ain't goin end because you guys have different opinions on oil.

i use pennzoil platinum 05/30 but frankly i think our cars engine would run just fine on ANY 5/30 syn or dino
hell if you want to run something other that what Toyota says go for it just don't cry when you break it !

In Australia, it doesn't seem like we have a particular oil by Motul listed as BMW LL01.. But I've come across this one which does have the BMW LL-01 approval, is this the Australian Market equivalent?
Motul 8100 X-Max

The specifications seem similar - 100% synthetic, ester based, 5w30..

If I was lucky enough to live in FLA, SoCAL or DownUnder, I'd be running Straight HD 30, absolutely NOT a winter oil. VI improvers are not lubricants and are the leading cause of varnish and sludge and shearing out of grade. Our engines do not take kindly to varnish and are not THAT easy on oil given they have: the dreaded flat tappet cam, hydraulic cam phasing, timing chain and guide and a hydraulic chain tensioner.

My 145 dollar 3.5HP briggs lawn mover is still alive after 19 years having only summer use, 30wt hdeo oil fill with OC every OTHER year. Burns no oil, doesnt knock. It has NO oil pump, just splash lube. OK thats my 300th post. WEEEeeee!

jkuchta · 02-25-2009, 12:00 PM

I run the Motul 300V 5W-30, and love it. This oil is designed for Le Mans....3-4K miles at full speed with no oil changes...I think it's more than enough for the street, and great for track days.

spookz · 02-25-2009, 07:22 PM

Anyone know how the 1NZ-FE would run with 5w40?
Would it be too thick for the little engine?

phenoyz · 02-26-2009, 01:42 AM

after u change oil, is there something you need to "reset"?
like a honda or bmw you need to reset something.

If the maintenance light turns on before you change your oil, then yeah, you can reset that light.

Does anyone run 5w40 oils in their 1.5L Yaris?
