What is the best engine oil for Toyota vehicles?

[Kiara]

Here is an introduction to the engine oils used in Toyota vehicles: 1. Use oil as specified in the manual: According to the manual, use 0W-20. You can also use 5W-20 or 5W-30, either fully synthetic or semi-synthetic. The new RAV4 and Rongfang models require 0W-20 oil. 2. Engine oil for older Toyota models: Older RAV4 models with spare tires use 5W-30 or 0W-40 oil. (The numbers 20, 30, and 40 represent the oil viscosity.) The Rongfang requires lower viscosity, so 20 is sufficient. Here are four key factors to consider when choosing engine oil: 1. Based on engine condition: Choose engine oil according to the engine's requirements. There is no need to use overly advanced oil in engines with lower requirements, nor should you use lower-grade oil in engines with higher requirements. 2. Prefer multi-grade oil: It is advisable to choose multi-grade oil, as it is economical, long-lasting, and efficient, providing better protection for the engine. Due to the characteristics of multi-grade oil, it may appear darker or have lower oil pressure compared to conventional oil during use, which is normal. 3. Choose based on temperature: If the engine is in good condition and the seasonal temperature is low, use oil with lower viscosity to ensure smooth oil flow. In high-temperature seasons or if the engine is severely worn, higher viscosity oil helps form a protective film and reduces engine wear.
