Engine Oil

[navygm]

My friend suggested me to use Torco engine oil 15w40 fully syntetic...someone knows if its a good oil?

he told me its a very good oil for yaris..

is it recommended to use fully syntetic oil? does it wear the engine faster than normal oil?

thanks

millers 10 / 40 . quality stuff ;)

Mobil 1 0w40

Millers 10w40 - ask Chuck, Earpl, Knightrider or anyone for that matter

[nrgizerbunny]

Just curious as to why people are recommending 10w40. yaris manual actually specifies 5w30!

if you fill the car with 10w40, at low temperatures you get much more engine wear than with a 0W oil as its much thicker and takes more time to become runny.

millers, used for the last two oil changes, cant complain at all

use the millers 5-40 Fully synthetic for the 1.0L. Gives the thinness as the lower temps :)

I use millers 10/40 XFE Hi-synthetic diesel oil, and diesel Power Plus in my 04 T3 diesel. Quality Stuff

but I need some oil for hot temperatures...as here in summer its very hot and need an oil that does not get thin when it gets hot.

what viscosity shall I use then?

I use Valvoline VR1 RACING full synthetic 10w60

Millers 10w60 in my SR. And poer-enterprise oil filter... made a big difference to the way the engine ran. Musch smooter and quieter at idle.

I would suggest to those people who are using racing formulation (ie w60) of oil in their cars that they get a TRIBOLOGY book pretty damn quick! bearings are designed to work on a particular vicsosity of oil, if you pratt around with that too much you end up with insufficient hydrostatic pressure to separate the rotating surfaces from the static surfaces (such as big ends)

It was Envy that put the oil in my car and they'll have got the information direct from Millers and Toyota of which performance oil works best in my engine.
