What grade of engine oil should be used for Toyota Yaris L?
1 Answers
Toyota Yaris L's dedicated engine oil recommended by the manufacturer is 5W30 semi-synthetic oil. In practice, 0W20, 5W20, 5W30, and 10W30 can all be used, but the most suitable engine oil for Toyota Yaris L is 5W30 semi-synthetic. Here is the relevant introduction: 1. The meaning of engine oil grade: The engine oil grade usually indicates viscosity and quality. The viscosity of lubricating oil is often identified using SAE grades. W stands for winter, and the smaller the number before it, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the oil, indicating a lower usable ambient temperature and better protection for the engine during cold starts. The number after W is an indicator of the oil's high-temperature resistance; the larger the number, the better the oil's protective performance at high temperatures. 2. Engine oil classification: It is represented by a combination of two letters. The S-series represents oil for gasoline engines, with general specifications ranging from SA to SN (in alphabetical order, but without SI). Each subsequent letter indicates better performance than the previous one, with more additives to protect the engine. The further back the letter, the higher the quality grade. Among international brands, most engine oil grades are SF or higher.
