Engine oil Castrol or OEM Toyota
Have been using Motul 5w30, But I recently switched to Castrol edge 5w30 as it's easier to get quickly and has always ran well in all of my turbo direct injection cars.
Last change oil ko 5700km di naman sumabog swabe parin manakbo
Oil used was Castrol's Power 1 5w-40
Really looking forward to getting that first break in oil change done and go full send. I do have a giant problem with this car though... I F'N LOVE IT!
I’ve moved to Castrol edge for my 9th gen.
Castrol edge and OEM filter for turbo.
I’ve always used 5W-30 Castrol Edge Titanium, available at Wal Mart. My Blackstone report came back good a long time ago on it.
Preferred Castrol edge 0w-20 during the warranty period and 5w-30 after the warranty period. The engine is quieter with 5w-30.
The ss will have Castrol that they use for big bikes it’s better than prolube and Motul 7100 in my experience.
I personally have used the RN17FE 0W-20 (Renault branded Castrol GTX bottles) for 10k km after the innitial oil that was filled in the factory (I don’t know which one was filled in factory). I haven’t noticed any better fuel economy but that can be tough to determine because I drove the car mainly through the winter and did more shorter trips than the original factory first fill oil that I drove with during spring and summer.
Brought it in for 5k ToyotaCare at the dealership I bought it from. Used wrong engine oil (at least they listed wrong on the service sheet but promised they did use 0w20) - GRC is only model where 5k or 6 month oil changes are standard. 2500 miles if driven hard. Fucked up the trans oil I asked them to change - used wrong oil type. Fucked up tcase and rear diff oils. Found oil spilled on some pieces of the subframe. Of the 2 test drives they did doing the warranty covered alignment they had 10+ drive pulse hard acceleration /braking/cornering alerts on both 4 mile drives. I changed the engine oil, trans, tacsee, rear diff, cleaned oil they spilt after picking it back up. They said they'd corrected their errors only after I got Toyota corporate involved. I didn't trust them to do anything so corrected all myself.
