1 Answers
Toyota Genuine 0w20 engine oil and the oil filter should be replaced every 12 months or after exceeding 10,000 km of driving. It is essential to regularly change the engine oil of motor vehicles to ensure the proper operation of the engine. Engine oil effectively protects the internal components of the engine and ensures its normal power output. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication and friction reduction, aiding in cooling and temperature reduction, sealing to prevent leaks, rust and corrosion prevention, as well as shock absorption. When the oil pan indicates a low oil level, it is crucial to promptly add the same type of oil. Avoid mixing different types of oil as this can degrade the oil's performance, reducing its ability to protect the engine and leading to severe wear of engine components. Under the following conditions, the engine oil and oil filter should be replaced every 5,000 km or every 6 months: Extreme road conditions: frequent driving on bumpy, muddy, or snow-melting roads. Regular driving on dusty roads, areas with low paving rates, or roads in dry and dusty environments. Extreme driving conditions: vehicles frequently carrying heavy loads or overloaded; vehicles experiencing prolonged idling and/or long-distance low-speed driving. Continuous high-speed driving (80% or more of the maximum speed) for over 2 hours.
