Engine oil Castrol or OEM Toyota
i drive 85% freeway so i change the oil and oil filter every 7500 miles using Castrol Edge 0W-20 synthetic oil since 2017 no vehicle issue.
I put Castrol euro 5w-50 made for BMW and it's 6-7 liters and change it every 5000km I have a 2003 330ci and it still runs like new
5w40 VW 502 spec. Audi recommends Castrol so that's what I use.
Personally i never run ”GM” oil in my 95s anymore. I usually run Castrol edge 0-40
I ran this in my mk7 and my brother ran Castrol Edge Euro in his mk7. I have since sold mine but neither one of us had any type of engine/oil consumption issue and he still has with 130k on it.
Buy filters in bulk from RockAuto. Buy oil Castrol Euro Car from Walmart when it’s in sale.
On 0w16 the engine is smoother, more responsive, quieter and consuming about 0.2L to 0.5L less fuel per 100 km.
Castrol. Bought twice from Amazon. Four litres for £19 the first time, £25 the second. Much cheaper than Halfords.
For example my previous BMW engine was very noisy with mobile 1, and quiet with castrol
2000s Toyotas. Not really unreliable, but oil burning was an issue on most of these because people did not change the oil on time.
