Best Engine Oil (5W-30) for Toyota Passo ( 1KR-FE)

[haseeb.basharat]

you get better economy when using lighter lube.

120km/h motorway cruise gave 16+km/l on amsoil 5w30 and same on mobil 1 5w50. Within city it was 12-13km/l before and its 12-13km/l now. No difference as I calculated it by tank top up method.

[haseeb.basharat]

notice the ambient temperature being displayed.

Yes, but still 5w30 fine will work flawlessy.

as I said - I dont know how you drive, as you have a unique experience when using heavier lubes and not losing fuel mileage.

I personally experience loss of 2 to 4 mpg over 1000 miles range when using a heavier lube. w40 compared to w30

As does everyone else I know

[Xulfiqar]

specifically what kind of 5w30?

regular mineral 5w30? - how about trying to crank it at those temperatures?

Amsoil 5w30 signature series 100% synthetic.

Never cranked it as it starts quickly. Should I try do that at cold startups?
Will try in morning as I'll leave from work at like 5am. It would be chilly AF coz it rained a lot yesterday.

Ok cranked it an hour ago, gave 2 cranks and waiting a second in between before startup. Same! no rattle or tick tocks, but engine noise is more. Maybe its due to thinner oil producing more torque at low revs. I may be wrong here. Only thing good I noticed in 5w30 is that car is more torquey on low rpms like 1-2k: coz that's where it stays most of the time with cvt.

[Xulfiqar]

And now you know why thinner oils are recommended, the engine remains very efficient and has low drag loss at low rpm.

Picks up quicker.

Sir which engineoil will be best for hybrid fielder 2013 160000km driven. is total 5w-30 ok?

[anon35615524]

Yes. Total Quartz 9000 Future Series 5w-30 Fully Synthetic Engine Oil would I.A. serve the purpose well (provided engine health is perfect).

Shell PEELA DABA means 10w40. What about engine noise and fuel average you are getting in?

[capsat]

Shell Yellow HX-5 as 5w-30 for 1KR-FE

[Xulfiqar]

This is good stuff...

[hash4u]

HX5 is
10 -40 in Pakistan

Hello Car Enthusiasts,
I have a question regarding the oil change in my Passo 2013
I recently changed my oil from Shell Helix 10w-40 to 5w30, will this hurt the engline of my car in anyway?
Thanks in advance

If engine health is perfect in all respects, there is no smoke, compression is great, you are not facing any oil reduction issues, etc. then YES! 5w-30 would be a Great choice, provided that 5w-30 meets following requirements: Fully Synthetic From some reputed brand (Total, Shell, Kixx, etc.) 100% genuine and original (Most Important Factor) Meets API SN / SN Plus, and / or ILSAC GF5 criteria

My personal recommendation would be Total Quartz 9000 Future series in 5w-30. Its best for bucks!

[pwuser158116813126]

What about in summers where temperatures easily reach 40+ C. Can 5w30 handle the heat?
