Engine oil Shell or OEM Toyota
I use Shell Helix Ultra 5w30 in my 330i car. It also has BMW Long Life certification. I'm very satisfied with it and would recommend it to you. It also offers good value for money compared to other higher-end brands. You don't get better performance for the money you pay.
We use rotella t-6 5-40. Have put on well over a million miles between our vans and its been good. 10k intervals. We have on a 2019 with 260k. Never had any issues. Still on our original DPF. So it's safe to it's low ash oil.
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.
Shell. Literally makes my vehicles dead silent after every oil change.
10W40 on my 1995 Camry
20W50 on my 2015 Toyota Hiace
I use Shell Helix Ultra 5w40 on my m52b20 E39 and I'm super satisfied
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).
Eu nu am folosit uleiul ala, dar am pus intr-un 2.0 TDI DFGA, Shell Helix Ultra Professional AV-L 0W30 si motorul este foarte silentios.
I’ve used three oils on my bikes since the mid-2000s: Motol 300v, AMS oil, and T6.
Out of the three, I’d choose T6 for normal street riding with the occasional adrenaline run
Rotella T6 5w40 in my EJ255, its helped a tad with the leaking until I can get everything apart to seal it all up again.
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.
