What kind of engine oil is best for the Highlander 2.0T?
1 Answers
The Highlander 2.0T turbocharged engine requires the use of 5W30 full synthetic engine oil. Turbocharged vehicles must use full synthetic engine oil. Below is the relevant content introduction: 1. An engine with a turbocharger can deliver an exhilarating sense of acceleration the moment you step on the gas. However, when the turbo starts working, the engine torque multiplies. According to the principle of turbocharging technology, the oil film covering the engine crankshaft at this moment must withstand shear forces several times higher than before. 2. Therefore, it is essential to choose engine oil with a higher HTHS (High-Temperature High-Shear viscosity at 150°C). Full synthetic engine oil, with its excellent high-temperature stability, can well meet the high oil film strength requirements of turbocharged engines. We recommend the German MOTORGOLD-5W30 full synthetic engine oil, which has high oil film strength, the highest in its category, with an HTHS of 3.65, greatly aiding in power enhancement.
