    Anyone changing oil at 7500 or 10,000 miles is just asking for trouble and eventual burning oil. Oil is cheap, engines are not. Please folks, change your oil at 5000 miles.

      Like car care nut says.. The oil change intervals end up being way more important than the oil brand as long as you're using the correct weight and it's certified.
      A side by side comparison would be interesting thou, say after 200k miles both engines oil were changed every 5k... To see if noticeable more wear on one with one oil brand vs another.

    I have a 2000 Toyota Camry LE 2.2L. The Camry was given to me by my late cousin it was his father's Camry. I'm the 4th owner of the Camry. The oil I use is Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage Synthetic oil 5w 30. My cousin and his father Pennzoil or Quaker State which is made by the same company. I have always used Pennzoil. I've never had any issues with Pennzoil. I change the oil every 3000 miles. The Camry now has 185,000 or just over it. I change the oil every 3000 miles like cloak work.

And IDK what is it about that oil, but my truck just felt better. I do all the maintenance myself and change the oil every 5k miles, no matter if the bottle of oil says 10k-25k life span. So I know it wasn’t because it was neglected and then everything was “fixed”. So PUP is definitely my new “go-to” oil, but I’m not opposed to trying others to see how my truck feels.

    The thin oils were chosen for 2 reasons:
    - Fuel economy (due to thinner oil versus say 5W30 BUT at the cost of protection)
    - Fuel savings in that the oil will get to N.O.T quicker than 5W30 for example (so the engine won't have to idle at a higher rate for as long).

    I remember a service rep told me Toyotas OEM oil is actually Mobil 1 Advanced Full Synthetic. Which explains why when I first bought my Rav4 in 2016, they said they only needed annual oil changes. Needless to say, I am still not comfortable with annual oil changes and prefer to do it every 6 months in the Spring and Fall (my miles stay below 5k miles every 6 months so its easier for me to go based on time and I have a fresh batch prior to the extreme seasons of cold winters and hot summers). When I stopped taking it to the dealership (once the free maintenance plan went away) I was doing Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy, then switched to Mobil 1 High Mileage once I hit the 75k mark. Now with a second car (a Cadillac) that uses the same viscosity level, I just buy the Kirkland brand from Costco which comes in a box of two 5 quart bottles. Just as good and at 90k miles she still runs like a champ. Provided the electronics hold up I expect 200k miles from her easily.

    When my 2015 Camry started burning oil at a fast rate, I used Valvoline syrhetic extended oil. Then decided to use oem toyota oil to see which was better, and the oem Toyota oil burned alot better than the Valvoline oil did, not even close. Then I decided to try the Pennzoil syrhetic motor oil, and that was so much better in terms of burning oil. I agree with you on the Pennzoil, its a great product. But the Valvoline not so much.

      Probably. The owner's manual for your car will specify what sort of oil is required both in terms of oil weight and any required certifications. If your vehicle calls for 0w-16 and requires it to meet ILSAC GF-6B, any oil matching those parameters is likely to work fine. Of those, I'd choose one from a brand I'd done research on and trust. Not all brands are equal, and not all product lines within a single brand are equal either. Make sure you get the /specific/ oil you've researched and decided on when it's time to buy. More importantly than the particular oil itself though (provided it matches the required specs), don't stretch your oil change interval. If you want a long life out of an engine, your best shot is to change your oil more often than required. The manual's guidance is written from the perspective of keeping the engine alive through the warranty period, not keeping it healthy indefinitely.

Or we use mobil 1 full synthetic if preferred by a customer. But I do have buddies at other dealers who say they use fluid from oreillys. My dealer also uses a lot of BG fluids.

      He drained some out of an engine (that had circa 16km on it).
      This MIGHT explain the ludicrous high levels of moly in the Toyota oil,
      Someone suggested online that this is actually left over grease etc from the assembly of the engine.
      And in fact this value that was significantly higher than the others, should have raised an eyebrow and been a cause for discussion.
      For this to be a valid test the following criteria needs to be met:
      - Samples from bottles only
      - Numerous samples from different sources (oil bottles from different production batches)
      What also needs to be considered is the type of moly used,

      Strictly due to the need to meet American fuel economy standards, aka CAFE standards. If it does not get extremely cold where you live, you might be able to use 5W-30 and even 10W-30 in the warmer months. In the case of one 1990s era engine, the oil recommendation in the U.S. was 5W-30 and in Australia up to a certain year 20W-50 with the same engine. I followed the U.S. recommendation because I wasn't sure if the U.S. model had tighter bearing clearances. You do need to research what the bearing clearances are and if they have changed. Even if it is the same engine, some aspects of the design could be changed after a certain year. Or different markets could get different variations of the same engine.

    As a AMSOIL DEALER for 12 years and I was curious about where all the San Diego County major Toyota Dealerships Service Departments purchased their Synthetic oils in "Bulk" quantities from, because inside all there (Parts Departments) they all sell by the quart size OEM Genuine Toyota Synthetic oil brand and also Mobil 1 Synthetic oils at high over the counter prices... Funny thing is, all the (Service Departments) buy their Synthetic oils in "Bulk" form and store them in large tanks 80,000 gallons to 100,000 gallon tanks filled by "wholesale" commercial Bulk Oil companies... They do not buy OEM Toyota or Mobil 1, they all buy the lowest priced Synthetic oils like the "ENEOS brand" that meet Toyota API specs and Toyota TGMO specs... ENEOS oil is made in Japan and imported to USA.

      IDEMITSU!!!! they are the main OEM Supplier for Asian/Japanese Brands. something that this guy didn´t mentioned in the video is that idemitsu works directly with the different companies (Nissan,Subaru, Honda, Toyota, etc.) to develope new viscosities and formularions. EXXON only copies the "recipe". IDemitsu is the master Cheff

    I hope you can suggest me the best to do. I just bought a new 2024 Rav4 XLE made in Canada three months ago. I live in Mexico City. Well, the manual says that the engine oil that comes from factory is a 0w20, but at the toyota dealer they put a decal in the engine compartment that says that the correct oil for that vehicle is 5W30, and all the dealers in Mexico only sell this kind of oil, 5W30. My question is, is there any problem if I use that oil? I have to take the car for service at the dealer every 6 months or 10,000 kilometers to keep the warranty alive and they only apply that kind of oil. Today I asked the parts manager if they have any other oil and he told me that not, he told me that all the toyota cars sold in Mexico are homologated to use the 5W30 oil. What do you think about all this situations?

    • @rfink222
      @rfink222 3 місяці тому

      I lived in Mexico and had a Toyota Yaris I had serviced at Toyota. I never paid any attention what weight oil they used but it was synthetic. I'm sure Toyota Mexico knows what they are doing. They probably use the 5W30 because of the altitude or harsher environment (heat), but it must be a good reason. Most of Mexico doesn't get that cold so the thinner oil is not needed and a little thicker oil is better.

    Yoyota service departments use Bulk oil, not bottled oil from the parts counter. That’s how they make profit on oil changes. No telling what brand Bulk oil, you guess.

    2023 Toyota XSE hatchback USA market (Made in Japan) Engine oil sticker calls for 0W/8 engine oil. This is just about impossible to find. I did find it at Toyota Parts Dept. at $20.00 per quart. I was told 2023 is the first year of the Corolla using this new 0W/8 motor oil. Will this oil become more available as time goes by? Right now I am locked into getting it from Toyota Dealership and not all dealerships stock this oil and must special order it. It's that new.🤑🥴😵‍💫😱🙈

    My advice. Use the cheapest oil you can get that meets the specification and change it early. Read the fine print in the owner's manual or shop manual. Sometime it will allow different oil weights at different temperature ranges. My car is 20 years old. The recommended oil is 5W-30 but the manual says you can use 10W-30 if the local temperature does not go below 0 F. The manuals for other vehicles I have had say the same. I have long used whatever is the cheapest, but recently 5W-30 has always been the cheapest. Life is tougher for people who do not do their own work though. A large pitfall is that people do not want to accept that all-short-trips driving represents severe service. It may not feel like it, but it is. If you drive a vehicle that does not require synthetic oil, you can use the cheapest oil and filter you can find and go 5000 miles if you do all highway driving, and even get away with going 7500 miles. All of my driving is around my local city, I use semisynthetic and my change interval is 2800 miles.

      So the MUST USE 0W16 might be due to an emissions target 🤔🤷‍♂
      But unless you can afford a new engine... stick with what the owners manual in your country says....
