Is Toyota 0w20 Oil Fully Synthetic?
1 Answers
Toyota's original 0w20 oil is fully synthetic. In addition, GAC Toyota's engine oil is also fully synthetic. Fully synthetic oil is made from the better components of crude oil and shows significant performance advantages compared to mineral oil and semi-synthetic oil. Oil Performance: The performance of 0w20 oil is generally moderate. Applicable Vehicle Models: The 0W-20 oil is suitable for FAW/GAC Toyota models but not for engines of types 5A-FE, 8A-FE, and 1FZ-FE. The oil change interval is 5000 kilometers or one year, but in practice, further judgment should be made based on the vehicle's actual condition. Precautions for Using Engine Oil: Under the premise of ensuring reliable lubrication for the engine, engine oil with lower viscosity should be selected. High-viscosity oil, except for use in southern summers, is only suitable for some severely worn engines. Choosing high-viscosity oil will increase the resistance during engine operation, thereby increasing fuel consumption. Selecting oil with excessively low viscosity may result in low oil pressure, insufficient lubricating film strength, and poor sealing. Therefore, the correct choice of engine oil should be based on the vehicle's condition and the season.
