Should I choose 0w20 or 5w20 for Corolla?
2 Answers
Both 0w20 and 5w20 engine oils are suitable for Corolla. More information about Corolla is as follows: 1. The interior design of Corolla is simple and minimalist, with a conventional dashboard design and spacious, comfortable seats. 2. The new Corolla is equipped with 8 airbags, VSC vehicle stability control system, traction control system, and also comes standard with start/stop and collision warning systems. 3. The overall ride of Corolla is comfortable and smooth, with a relatively slow start-up and low engine noise. It uses Michelin 215/45-R17 tires.
I've been driving a Corolla for several years and always use 0W20 oil, which feels smoother and more fuel-efficient than 5W20. 0W20 has better low-temperature fluidity, starts faster in winter, and has less engine noise, making it suitable for most climates. 5W20 might be slightly more stable in hot summers, but the Corolla manual recommends 0W20 as it optimizes fuel efficiency and is more environmentally friendly in the long run. If you're in a cold northern region, 0W20 is a must; in warmer southern areas, you might consider 5W20, but it's safer to check with the dealership. Don't forget to change the oil regularly, typically every six months or 8,000 kilometers, to avoid affecting the car's lifespan.
