Handbook Recommended Oil For 4e-fe?

[emicen]

As per title. Just picked up a 1.3XLi Corolla to use as a commuting hack. Its got a 4EFE engine but I dont have a handbook to know what the Toyota recommended oil weight is for it. Thought I'd ask before lobbing in the random pack of 15w40 Castrol GTX I have in the garage

Not after any fancy performance enhancing gloop, just need oil thats going to give the engine adequate protection from cold and tolerate a sustained 80mph without getting too hot.

Castrol GTX 10w-40 will do just nicely.. semi syn..

Does it have to be semi-synthetic or would synthetic do the job?

Oh, oil volume would be good to know too! :D

Fully syn is ok to use,but once you use it once i wouldnt ever put anything else in other than fully syn..

Theres no need really for a fully syn in your 1600cc.. Gtx magnatec all day long... good in value.. and will do the job spot on..

4ltr i fink !

hope this helps..
