What kind of engine oil should be used for the Corolla 1.2T?
1 Answers
Toyota Corolla 1.2T officially recommends using the original Toyota Genuine Oil: 0W-20 full synthetic oil. In addition to the original oil, you can also choose brands such as Shell, Mobil, and Castrol. However, you should use engine oil with the following grades: 0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30, and 10W-30. The Corolla 1.2 requires approximately 4 liters of oil for an oil change, usually slightly less than 4 liters. Additional information: 1. If SAE 10W-30 or higher viscosity engine oil is used in cold weather, the engine may be difficult to start. Therefore, it is recommended to use SAE 0W-20, 5W-20, or 5W-30 engine oil. 2. The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the cold-start performance of the oil. Using oil with a lower number before the W makes it easier to start the engine in cold weather. The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristics of the oil at high temperatures. High-viscosity oil may be more suitable for vehicles that drive at high speeds or carry heavy loads.
