Engine oil OEM Toyota or AMSOIL
While I didn't own a 2018 (mine was 2013 hybrid -> 2022 prime), here's my short list:
Electric gives a huge increase in torque from 10-50mph
Mechanic told me the oil came out barely darker than it went in on the last change. ~80% electric miles
Amsoil Signature 5W20
I use AMSOIL engine oil and coolant in mine for the 5 years and have no issues in that department.
Using Amsoil. Nung pinalitan ko valve gasket ng 2008 Vios ko walang sludge. Gold ang loob.
I’ll do the 15k oil change soon with Toyota OEM 0w-16, which is made by M1 but has a much higher moly content than the regular retail M1 oil.
My 2009 1.33 likes both 5w30 (or 0w30) and 0w20. Out of the factory they came with 5w30, but toyota later recommended the switch with the 1.33 engine. With normal use and lower speeds 0w20 is best, if you drive a lot at higher rpms than 5w30 would be better (at130kmu/3200rpm 5w30 is smoother).
I have use Amsoil European since new! 185,540km so far, and still purrs like a kitten, does not use oil, and the oil is highly rated!
I use Amsoil 20w40 in all of my semi truck motors. I change it according to what the lab says the condition of my motor and oil. I am going 100,000 miles on my over the road trucks. I go 25,000 on my power stroke and could go much farther.
I just purchased their OE formula @ $8.99 a quart...my 2012 Camry, 2ARFE has 212k miles and started burning oil around 150K. I was using Mobil 1 since I ownWe'll, and I noticed I was topping it off every other week...Now, I'm waiting for the oil and see if this will clean up the oil control rings, ring landings, etc. I'll report back.
2004 Toyota Avensis
Thing just guzzles oil. I believe the model I had was manufactured in England.
Had to top up the oil every 3000kms
