according to Castrol oil checker I should be using A1, what is the difference between a1 c2 and c3.

I need educating on the oil side of things so if someone can spare me a bit of knowledge this would be appreciated.

I have just bought c3..can I use or will I have to take it back.

ACEA A1(petrol)/B1(diesel) spec provides good fuel economy when used in either a petrol engine or a diesel engine without a diesel particulate filter.

ACEA C1, C2 & C3 are for diesel engines with a diesel particulate filter and either a 'low ash' or 'mid ash' requirement (known as SAPS - Sulphated Ash, Phosphurous, Sulphur). Not using a low ash oil can result in the dpf becoming blocked. The difference between these 3 grades is the amount of ash they produce, and in the case of C2, its suitability for optimum fuel economy/performance.

Not sure whether C3 is suitable for yours.

A useful brief explanation of the ACEA grades here: http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-789-acea.aspx

You can use the C3 oil in your car it will cause no harm but an A1 grade oil is most likely cheaper and perfectly fine for your car.

[My first toyota]

Castrol magnatec 5w30 A1 fully synthetic is what Id go for.

But since mine has been to the moon and back in mileage I could use 10w40.

What about c2 mate? and thanks for answering I know you know your onions.

Just a thought - Halfords have some of their own brand oils on sale - £12 for 4 litres.

C2 would be fine but is overkill as any C# oil would be, as your Avensis does not have a DPF/DPNR.
