why not 10w30 - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yaris Hilton · 09-06-2009, 06:51 PM

Nothing's wrong with Castrol GTX. That's what I just put in my Yaris. (5W-30.)

schreck · 09-06-2009, 07:07 PM

good idea, but wrong oil. that's 5-20, not 5-30. I wish the Yaris used 5-20 since that oil is about $4 a quart lower in most area for some unknown reason (probably customer demand)

Or how about 3.99 a quart of this crap of eBay, but you get 12 quarts and free shipping:

What is recommended motor oil for 1.33 engine. I heard it's 0w20? Is there any official information?

The official information is in the manual.

Toyota recommends 0W-20 (mainly for fuel consumption reasons) but a high quality 5W-30 is fine, too. My dealer dont even has 0W-20 so they use genuine 5W-30.

didak · 05-24-2010, 09:53 AM

sl, sm or else?

goliath1812 · 05-24-2010, 10:08 AM

I'm in Florida too. Advance is having a deal for Royal Purple synthetic 5W-20. 5 quarts plus a K&N filter for $40. Not bad for synthetic oil and not having to change it for another 10,000 miles.

Toyota Genuine Oil here is 5W-30 C3 (also suitable for D-CAT Diesel engines). SM seems fine.

i use 5w30 synthetic (car recommends 5w30) but i also change my oil every three thousand. my oil change costs me 18 dollars... but then again.. i work in an oil change shop so...........

WAL-MART has 5 quart jugs of PENNZOIL Platinum for $19.99 . That's 5w-20 , 5w-30 , and 10w-30 . Have seen 7,000 > 10,000 mile U.O.A.s for all these weights with very good results . That's $4 a quart , well worth the money .

fnkngrv · 05-25-2010, 12:29 AM

M1 can be bought in the 5 gal jug at Wal-mart for a good price as well...the filter is what can catch you up and give you a migraine if you really start to research them especially once you see that the bulk of them are absolute trash even for the "premium" brands.

and that explains a major part of my reasoning for changing my oil so often.

didak,what is your engine type?1NR-FE?
if this is the case, the manual says 0w-20 is recommended because of the fuel consumption and cold starts.the manual states that if 0w-20 isn't availble you can use 5w-30 but it needs replacement in the next service interval.SL or SM is good.

but one thing bugs me-why can't we continue to use 5w-30?

Cripes, I can't even get a quart of oil today for $7 and it's actually cheaper to go to an oil change place and pay them $22 (and they even vacuum the interior).

Where in Florida is oil 7 bucks a quart. I am in Orlando area and Mobil 1 full synthetic is less that 7 bucks a quart. AutoZone has a 5 quart synthetic oil with filter for 30 dollars. Not bad for Mobil 1

My dealer has 'Toyota 5W30' (tube 1l) - API SL/EC, ACEA A1/B1; 'Toyota 5W40' (Tank)- API SL/CF, ACEA A3/B3; 'Lexus 5W30' (tube 1l)- API SL/EC, ACEA A1/B1.
So, which is the right choice?!

heh you could use Tallow. probably won't circulate in the Yaris engine though.

I use it on my low pressure steam pistons
