Everything you say is correct, I did a lot of research in early stage of owning one back in 2021. Lately I used Redline Oil MTL and MT-LV which is the best for manual transmission. As for the Transfer case I used Driven and same to Rear Differential, on Mutol (LS) is for limited slip for circuit package GR option.

This amazing content just one question if we provide the 5w30 Motul oil than the 0w20 Motul will the dealer void warranty because it’s different from what on the oil cap?
@@PIRASMotorsport Cheers! A summery of all your knowledge would be nice :) Did you think about adding a "catch can" to your GR Yaris (has both direct and indirect injections, as far as I know)?
Hey Adriano, I would also like to thank you very much for posting this video! The information you provide is always top notch and it helps VERY much! I have two question to ask though: You said 5W30 and 5W40 is fine, personally you recommend 5W30 (right now I have the same Motul 5W30 in my car as you showed in the video). On what circumstances would you recommend going for a 5W40? Why not straight go for a 5W40? Next question: In a german GR Yaris forum there are mixed reactions about asking the dealerships to fill in other type of oil than 0W20. My dealership says „no problem we are going 5W30 and you keep your engine warranty.“ Other dealerships are saying „we are not going to fill in any other oil than 0W20 or your warranty is voided.“ Do you perhaps have a paper/document from Toyota Europe that perhaps clears up this issue? Thank you very much for your time Adriano!
Hello, thankyou for your reply, I most appreciate it! 5W30 is the best oil for all uses. 0W20 is mostly for emissions and consumption homologation. 5W40 is more rare, only used in some race applications where they have solid cam lifters and they expect to see very high temperatures for prolonged periods! Unfortunately they don’t release official documentation on this, but the answer from Toyota’s motorsport team and my dealer is the same you got. The mechanics are happier with 5W30 for engine protection, as the oil film is more resistant
@@PIRASMotorsportHey Adriano, thank you very much for the clarification! I would like to ask another question that came up in my mind: I know (& you said) that the Torsen LSD in the front works together with the gearbox (they share the same oil as they are 1 circuit). Why do you go for the normal Gear 300 for the front and not for the Gear 300 LS like in the back? I am asking because the LS is especially made for Limited Slip Differentials and the LS can also be used for the Gearbox. Thank you very much in advance!
No problem, my pleasure! Please evaluate a channel membership to support my work! In regards to the gearbox oil question: the Gear 300LS is a very dense oil, and the gearbox would become incredibly slow and stiff, to the point that it would not be nice to operate!
I'm not sure about different viscosity and warranty, that's why I use Toyota's 0w20 SP. Are you sure we are allowed use other than specified viscosity? I do change every 5000km, hope that way I keep engine healthy and local Toyota service happy.
Your link to Piotr's channel is broken but great video as always!!! 1 thing I'm not sure about is the viscosity of 5w30. surely in non-hot climates its not going to be a good idea? Also if there is no constant track use its a bit too much?
I will do my best to fix the link! The 5W30 is the best overall compromise, as used by the top tuners worldwide and rally teams, I've done all the due diligence. Cheers!
Hi great video, quick question does the oil for the rear differential at 9:26 also apply for the GR Yaris Convenience model (that doesn’t have the Torsen differential) or should I be using something else? Thank you so much, there’s not much talk about the Yaris’ without the Torsen differentials so I have no idea.
Yes, there is sooo much to talk about mate!! The GR Yaris non-circuit version, without Torsen differentials, can benefit from using the Gear 300 (non LS) both in transfer case and rear differential. This is because there are less rotating gears, therefore less heat generated

Ciao, grazie per il video. Io ho la versione Circuit con differenziali autobloccanti anteriore e posteriore. Non sarebbe meglio inserire , sia nel differenziale posteriore che nel cambio anteriore la versione Motul Gear 300 LS 75W-90?? Grazie per la risposta
Ciao, grazie a Te per aver seguito e per la domanda! Quanto dici ha molto senso ma, il Gear 300LS è un olio troppo viscoso per il cambio, che porterebbe ad un forte indurimento ed a possibili imputamenti. Per questo, nel cambio, suggerisco il Gear300 “liscio”! A presto
Solo quello che ho detto sopra, puoi provare pero’ non lo consiglio perché un olio molto viscoso poi ti costringe a lavare il cambio con diversi cambi d’olio per liberartene
Hi!! What oil temperature do you have in normal driving? Mine on the highway at 120kmh and 10° outside my oil temperature is a 100°c.. and when I srive a little bit hard on mountains roads the oil goes directly to 120°c +

Don’t take it badly… You know, it is very tiring to answer all comments like yours, because there isn’t the basic technical understanding beneath to work with.

@@PIRASMotorsport I have owed the car since new July of 2023 and now I have 23k miles. I change my oil every 2500 miles and have done 9 oil changes already with 0w 20 Pennzoil Ultra Platinum which is a API SP ILSAC GF6-A oil. I guess I will try 5w 30 same brand Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w 30 same API SP with ILSAC-GF6-A specification. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is a borate ester very good premium oil. My oil analysis came back from the lab perfect.
For the haters that say only Toyota 0w20 oil can be used. My UK manual says...that grade is "Recommended" i.e not absolute. It says Toyota genuine oil is used in your Toyota vehicle Toyota recommends the use of Toyota genuine oil. Then says...Another motor oil of matching quality can also be used. And says e ither API snplus or SP.
That car have 10 years waranty Toyota, why it is a problem to run with that 0w20 oil. If people get there engines run bad, and create some issues it its for Toyota to solve it out. Many Modern engines run on tin oil, its a evolution in design of internal parts that get better and better. Bmw M cars with a three liter six cylinder with almost 500hp run on 0w30, so why not a Yaris GR on 0w20.
Because - the Gen 1 car has an issue with piston rings gaps, that when thermically stressed have brought to mega-blow by in various occasions, the most famous is ACME’s development car. - oil pump can limit oil pressure with bypass, but can’t help low oil pressure idling after heavy driving at 0.3bar on 0W20 oil. All the top tuners, and most rally teams are using 5W30 for these reasons, and they change oil with much higher frequency than average road drivers. If you just street your car on Oem settings 0W20 will be fine, but if you are pushing thing in performance (power) and driving, you will want to consider minimum top quality 0W20 or a very good Api SP 5W30
Everything you say is correct, I did a lot of research in early stage of owning one back in 2021.
