Engine oil OEM Toyota or MOTUL
I’ve been using the 300V , absolutely love the feeling of this oil but decided to switch since it’s a true race oil & the intervals needing very frequent changes. After only 1000 miles of street riding , I’ve tested the oil & it began to sheer from 18 cst @ 100c down to 15 cst @100c .
I been using Motul 8100 X-clean EFE 5W-30 Synthetic Oil and is working fine at the moment with OEM filter.
Use toyota 0/16. Or Mobil 1 0/16. Liqui moly is also very good.
Motul x-clean plus. Less noise and softer engine run. I'm using it in all my TDI's and X5 35d.
Fun fact, on a gen 4 Toyota Camry (1997-2001) with the 5S-FE 2.2-liter four cylinder, the low oil light doesn’t even come on until you’re like 2.5 quarts low!
Motul is cheaper than Petronas and it's a very good oil.
Best oil for me is Motul 8100 X-Clean 5W-40 C3, or Liquil Moly. 5W-40 because I got more hot climate here (Greece).
I would recommend Motul.
I’ve got Motul Sport 5W30 for my MY12 XV, which ain’t a turbo ofcourse????
But next time I’ll go for sport 5W40, as it’s better for long driving in temperatures like 30(+) degrees Celsius outside.
The Sport range is by the way also good again low speed pre-ignition.
The Motul oil you’re looking at is pretty similar to any old big box oil, but it costs a ton.
Motul 8100, was using mobil 1 but had problems with it blowing past the rings during high rpm’s and getting into the intake
