What kind of engine oil is used in Toyota vehicles?
1 Answers
Toyota vehicles use 0W20 or 5W20 engine oil, and it is best not to use oil with a viscosity exceeding 5W30. Toyota's brands include RAV4, Crown, Reiz, Corolla, Camry, and Prado, among others. The company is headquartered in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, and Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, Japan. Below is relevant information: Introduction to engine oil grades: The "0W-20" on the label of the engine oil packaging refers to the oil's viscosity grade, which is classified according to the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) standard. The "W" stands for winter, and the smaller the number before it, the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity, meaning it can be used in lower environmental temperatures and provides better engine protection during cold starts. The higher the number after it, the higher the oil's viscosity at high temperatures, resulting in better lubrication for the engine. Introduction to the difference between semi-synthetic and fully synthetic oil: Semi-synthetic and fully synthetic oils are two categories of engine oil (fully synthetic oil contains no mineral oil components, while semi-synthetic oil contains some). The main difference is that fully synthetic oil can be used over a wider temperature range and has a longer service life. For the same oil film requirements, fully synthetic oil can achieve the desired effect with lower viscosity, whereas semi-synthetic oil requires a relatively higher viscosity to meet the same requirements.
