5w30 vs 0w20 altis grande

[capsat]

5W-30 or 0W-20

why

because both grades are mentioned in the owner's manual.

Toyota Pouring 20W-50 at vehicle roll out from plant is also valid owing to fact that new engine shall wash out any debris. ( as per desi ustaad class )

If you read that table carefully manufacturer suggest to use engine oil as per your environmental conditions.

Shukar hai someone agreed with my point.
As far brake oil is concerned. Change it, do it by bleeding all 4 wheels so that you may change all oil. I don't know about toyota as I switched to liqui moly dot3 brake oil at 50k kms. Change coolant at 100k kms. Its not that costly. Also change gear oil of your car if you haven't changed it yet.

[haseeb.basharat]

flush the radiator and replenish with fresh caltex coolant please

How's caltex coolant as compared to toyota coolant?

[capsat]

chemically both are same. Packing is different so is the price.

Sir 0w20 isn't even a part of owners manual.
My father got 12th gen corolla in Usa and even that got 5w30 oil from dealership at first oil change.

[dms664]

I have changed gear oil twice as of now.
Mind sharing from where you got the brake oil changed. I want to get it done by a person who knows what he is doing

[haseeb.basharat]

Roger. I like its color more

[haseeb.basharat]

I got the brake oil change from toyota garden Lahore.
I only get few services from dealerships.
Brake oil change. (Bleeding method)
Wheel alignment.
Coolant change
Wheel bearings change.

These are the only things that they can do properly.

is that popcorn tub empty now

Moong phalli k time main popcorn?

[euphoria]

So what would you have done if you were in my place?

[capsat]

in Islamabad for high end 8 year old german vehicle i use 5W-30 through out the year.
in Karachi 41, 22 & 4 year old cars all run on 10W-30 Shell Helix
every 25000 kms i change the PCV valve religiously in the JAP engines.

[dms664]

Any idea from where I can get this air pump bottle as this is a safe method for old cars. In the brake pressing method the piston can go way beyond and tear up the seal which the foreman was telling me.
This method is safe and i need to source this vacuum suckling bottle. Any idea where i can get this bottle

@haseeb.basharat click and read page 40

[capsat]

please search daraz for garden bottles you will find the item which will serve your purpose.@dms664

[euphoria]

Can you please explain it, its written at different occasions
If 0w20 was not used at the last oil change, replace engine oil and oil filter??
Do they mean to say to replace it with 0w20?

[capsat]

that means that OEM recommended oil is 0W-20 for Corolla 1.6 - 2.00 engine US Variants.

at every oil change if the earlier oil grade was not 0W-20, it shall be adopted.

[euphoria]

So should it be adopted here?
What is your suggestion?

[Xulfiqar]

I refilled it

[htb456]

To sum it up, you have 2 options. Either follow the recommendation of the pkdm manual that states 5w30, or follow the recommendation of any other manual (IF ANY) that addresses the same engine (with same tune up) and recommends 0w20. Either way, choice is yours and your car will be fine. Also, whatever oil you use, make sure it is not fake

[Xulfiqar]

if you are in Lahore, @syncview has a few of brake flushing units made by motive USA.

Dont use vacuum to suck brake fluid, pressure feed is best, second best is 1 man bleed with block under brake pedal and catch bottle at slave cylinders.
