What kind of engine oil is suitable for Toyota Corolla 1.2T?
1 Answers
Toyota Corolla 1.2T is recommended to use the original genuine Toyota oil. The following are the selection methods for oil models and precautions for engine oil: Selection methods for oil models: Generally in winter, many regions recommend using 5W oil, while some areas in the northern regions should use 0W oil for better cold-start performance to meet local environmental conditions. For high-temperature viscosity, engine oil with a lubricant viscosity value of 20 is usually used. However, if the vehicle is frequently driven in congested roads, relatively old, or used for long-distance transportation with light loads, the oil viscosity can be appropriately increased, such as using 0W30 lubricant. Precautions for engine oil: When adding engine oil, it is necessary to add the appropriate amount according to the vehicle's displacement, and absolutely avoid adding too much. If the engine oil is insufficient, the bearings and journals in the engine part will experience friction due to insufficient lubrication, exacerbating wear and tear, and in severe cases, it may cause a bearing seizure accident. When selecting the appropriate engine oil, it is necessary to strictly follow the oil grade specified in the user manual. If the same grade of oil is not available, only a higher-grade oil can be used, and a lower-grade oil must never be used as a substitute.
