What kind of engine oil should be used for Corolla 1.2T maintenance?
1 Answers
Toyota Corolla 1.2T can use the following engine oils for maintenance: 1. 0W-20 full synthetic oil; 2. 5W-30 full synthetic oil. Methods for selecting engine oil are as follows: 1. Choose the viscosity grade: Generally, in winter, 5W oil can be used in many areas, but in some northern regions (such as Jilin Province), it is better to use 0W oil to obtain better cold start performance and adapt to the local environmental temperature. The high-temperature viscosity value of the oil is generally 20, but if the vehicle is often driven in congested sections, is relatively old, or is a long-distance heavy-duty transport vehicle, the oil viscosity can be appropriately increased, such as using 0W30 lubricating oil. 2. Choose the engine oil brand: For oil that needs to have long-lasting performance, Mobil oil can be chosen; if you focus on the oil's cleaning ability for the engine, Shell lubricating oil can be used; if strong oil film toughness is required, Castrol is recommended. For example, turbocharged engines are prone to carbon deposits during high-speed operation, so Shell full synthetic oil with strong cleaning ability can be used.
