Oil change Auris 2015 5w 30

[RaZor85]

Hello forum, i´m in the need of changing the oil on my mother Auris from 2015 1,8 Hybrid Engine code: 2ZR-FXE and i bought 5l of Genuine Toyota 5w30 see the picture attached. We live in Sweden so it gets pretty cold during winter. I´m not sure i bought the right Acea specs, and i can´t find so much info on the topic. This one is ACEA A5- B5

Hi, 

the correct oil for any petrol Toyota engine post 2010 is 0w20. 
This 5w30 can do but it is not the right oil for your engine. 
In cold or very hot weather this oil will not protect the internals as well as the 0w20 will do. And if your car is hybrid this will be even more serious. 
If you can return or exchange for 0w20 will be best decision. 
The 0w20 oil is full synthetic where 5w30 is semi synthetic, break easily under heat and load. 
Best for the engine is to use strictly the recommended viscosity by the manufacturer.

I super agree with you, i bought this oil because at the last service they did, they used this  and btw was done by Toyota see picture ...

 

can you pls say which ACEA requirement must meet or suggest a product...

Any oil grade will be acceptable for 2ZR-FXE hybrid engine, including the 2023 Corolla.  However, most Toyota engines are designed for the 0W-20 since 2010. 2016, Toyota start using 0W-16, and in 2020 many including newest Corolla, Camry, Yaris are using 0W-8. 

The viscousity at low temperatures of 0W-20 is significantly lower and flows faster than 0W-30 and definitely 5W-30. You can use 5W-30 in summer but definitely use 0W-20 in Nordik winter. 5W-30 is safe for your engine but not the best. The most wear is during a cold start up and it is important to run the engines for a few minutes before we drain the oil so when we mount the new empty filter and start the car, we have enough oil coating in all parts of the car during the 1st start after oil change.

My Toyota dealership also recommended me to use 5w-30 instead of 0w-20.

They said that it is better for my engine, but I have 1.6 non hybrid and the winters are mild here.

A5 or A6 by ACEA .

Dealerships seems to recommend what is good for them not what is best for your car. The oil viscosity should be same as the one your car came out of factory in this case 0w20 A5. Any deviation from that might cause issues like premature wear, increased oil consumption, decreased efficiency.
