Best Engine Oil for Toyota Passo 2014

[pwuser159202993113]

i dont know much but the person from whom i purchased the car recommended me to change engine oil to 5w20.

[pwuser159202993113]

ok. i will check for air filter and catalytic converter. thanks.

0w20 is the ideal oil grade for this car. Don't switch to anything else.

12kml mileage, is that within city? If so, it's good enough. Very good for normal city traffic of Pak. Only way you can get higher is if you're able to drive on empty roads and able to maintain 50-70 speed. Not possible unless you're in isb.

On motorway it should give 16-18kml depending on speed .

As for sluggishness

Go on highway. Are you able to attain speeds 100-120? Floor the pedal, can you go to 140 or more?

If so, catalytic converter should be good enough.

This is just limited power n acceleration of 1000cc n CVT. Want more? Get 1.3 Vitz.

Hmmm... OK.

So it might mean that the person has been using either 0w-20 or 5w-20. If he had been using thick oils, he might not have suggested you to use 5w-20.

[anon35615524]

In 5w-20, only use fully synthetic engine oil, meeting latest API SN / SN Plus, and / or ILSAC GF-5 criteria. Just ensure that engine oil is 100% genuine and original.

Change oil + oil filter every 5,000 Kms, or 06 months, whichever comes first.

I am assuming that your engine health is Great!

Shell, Total, Kixx, ZIC, Caltex / Havoline / Chevron, Mobil1, etc. are some of the respected and reputed brands, and are "IN" in the market since long. My suggestion would be to choose between any of these, or matching your budget.

Fancy, imported, expensive oils may be avoided. Rest, yours money, yours choice!

for all using the 0w and 5w oil in 1KR
keep checking engine oil levels at regular intervals

[pwuser159202993113]

thanks for your advice. i am planning to use total quartz 9000 5w20.

[pwuser159202993113]

yes its accelaretion without A/C is very good and responsive. i have attained the speed of 120 in city but as i switch on the AC, car becomes heavy and sluggish means i have to press more than half of accelerator to pick the car.

[anon35615524]

Yes. Total Quartz 9000 Future Series is Great! and best value to money, however, as far as I know, its offered in 0w-20 and 5w-30.

I doubt if its available in 5w-20.

Please check and confirm before buying.

[anon35615524]

ZIC Fully Synthetic 5w-20 is another value to money option and can be considered.

I myself have been using ZIC and never faced any issues.

Just ensure that oil is % genuine and original.

It must not be fake / counterfeit.

Why are you so insistent on 5w20? There's no point in using it.

Best is 0w20 as it offers best n quickest lubrication of engine on starting your car. That's when most of the wear n tear happens in an engine.

5w20 is also not that common so not available in major brands from company petrol pumps like Shell, Total, Valvoline

Dear. I have recently bought a passo which is 2013 model almost 1lac km driven.
As far as engine health is concerned,it is fine.
As the car is new, doesnt know its history of oil change.
Would you recommend 5w30 for it as well??

[mgalaxy3]

Toyota says, you may pour in 5w30 if 0w20 is not available, but switch immediately to 0w20 at next oil change.

Follow the manufacturer.

[euphoria]

Here is the confusion now. Some say 5w30, and some favor 0w20, which one should i go for to be on the safe side. As i have recently bought this car 3 days ago and dont know about its oil history. Its 1lac km done.

[euphoria]

Also give your opinion regarding an engine flush prior to oil change. Should i go for it or not??

[mgalaxy3]

1. no need for engine flush.

2. you said engine is in decent condition, if so stick to what Toyota says. 5w30 and 0w20 are pretty close anyway, but since your engine isn't trash, use the recommended oil grade.

[euphoria]

I m looking forward to go with 5/30. Any idea of the quantity i should pour in? P.s any experience with it of any brand??

[funki12]

I have used 5W-20 Zic Motor oil for my Passo 2014 77000km Driven.

I was looking for 5W-30 grade but Zic do not offer it.

It costed me 4000 with Air and Oil filter
