How to change Engine oil properly in Pakistan | Toyota Vitz 1.0 2018 Model Oil Change

[pwuser161228146379]

In this video I showed you guys how to properly change engine oil. The recommended grade for the 1KR-FE Vitz is 0W-20. Mileage doesn't have any link with engine oil grade so always use recommended engine oil grade.
The total cost that I spent on this oil change is Rs. 5,730. Nasa Carburetor Spray Rs. 350, Toyota Genuine oil filter Rs. 900 and Shell 0W-20 3L oil Rs. 4,480 and oil change was free.

Hmmm havent seen the video and maybe you covered it in it but isnt the total oil capacity for 1krfe 3.1L + .2l for filter?

[saqibhassan95]

3.1 is including filter if it's 1krfe

Good video, however one major inaccuracy:

There's no need to change oil at 5,000km. It's API SN, ILSAC GF-5. Quite advanced oil.

On extreme use, it's perfectly fine to change at 7000+km. And, most people in PAK never do extreme use (like towing things, or idling for long hours in a police car).

On our normal city/highway driving, you can even do 10,000+km on a genuine API SN, ILSAC GF-5 oil. But to be on the "safe side", 7,000~km is fine.

So, you're just wasting money + oil at 5k km. That was for oil mineral based oils.

was this DIY? or you filmed the oil change guy?

btw - oil rating does actually matter, a w50 rated oil is approximately 20cst at 100C, while a W20 rated oil has a max viscosity of 8cst at 100C

On 2018 model, it is about 2.8L as OP said.

But on 2012-2013 model, as per Japanese manual, it is 3.1L WITH oil filter change.
And
2.9L without oil filter change.

Thanks for updating quantities

[pwuser161228146379]

I have heard that Genuine oil filter should be replaced at 5k kms, and sometimes I leave my car for 30 minutes or an hour with AC on when I am with my family.

[pwuser161228146379]

No this was not DIY, I filmed the oil change guy. I know my YT channel name is DIY but I don't change Engine oil at home. But I have done many DIYs like Front brake service, CVT oil change, Outer CV Joint Boot change, Compressor pulley bearing change, Rear brake shoe change, Tappet cover gasket change and many more.

InshaAllah soon I am gonna upload all the videos to my YT channel and pictures in Pakwheels forum.
And I didn't knew about the oil CST, but many people here in Pakistan are not using recommended oil grade then they blame the 1KR-FE engine, which is really bad. Mostly People say that Vitz engine isn't good, it vibrates and acceleration is not that much impressive. But in my case it works very well. And I think the reason that most of people say this, because they don't take care of their cars and if you won't take care, every car will create problems.

[Xulfiqar]

The 1kr-fe is an econo engine and a pretty rough one too, it is noisy by design, which a lot of Pakistanis find questionable due to “hazratt ustaad RA ka kalaam of sunn injann”

Hazrat ustaad never graduated from ancient Toyota A, R, Y and K engines. They are silent by design due to metallurgy mostly.

Anyway, good job.

Btw

New or annealed crush washer is required on drain plug too.

[pwuser161228146379]

Yes engine is a bit noisy but if we drive with light foot then its quite. Where to buy new crush washer? I have Toyota Genuine paper washer but I have never seen these Aluminum type Genuine washer. Or can I use paper type instead of aluminum?

[Xulfiqar]

you can buy a copper washer from any parts place that sells screws, nuts bolts etc. or a place that works on hydraulics too, Its reusable forever if you anneal it every time you remove it.

Toyota genuine crush washer is a conical metal washer that gets deformed after tightening (its one time use only), the paper ones you see are not the correct item and usually leak.

I reanneal the copper washer on every oil change and they have never leaked a drop. The same washer is in use for more than 8 years now. (This used to be basic maintenance working in the past)

btw - there is no such thing as "light foot" - the engine is noisy and nothing can change that, its made in the cheapest way possible with designs they already had in place. The car has very poor sound insulation and NVH (noise vibration harshness) was not a major concern in the development of any vehicle that employs the 1KR-FE engine.

[pwuser161228146379]

Can I anneal it on kitchen stove or Cigarette lighter?

If its possible on cigarette lighter it will be good because at oil change shop kitchen stove is not available. Or else I will have to buy two copper washers.

By light foot I mean that when I drive the car with light foot the engine is not that much noisy but when I floor it then it is little louder than other cars. And I think sound insulation is good, comparing it with Toyota cars not with Audi Mercedes. And I think this 1KR-FE engine is little noisy. I have Suzuki Cultus 2020 with K10B 1000cc 3 cylinder engine and it is quieter than 1KR-FE. And sound insulation in Cultus is poor as compared to Vitz.

[Xulfiqar]

buy 2 or more washers of the exact size you need. Provide a fresh annealed one to the mechanic changing the oil.

This annealed copper washer work is also done when retightening hydraulic lines with banjo bolts or flat unions - pipe threaded joints take thread sealant.

example of hydraulics = power steering etc.

now you know why almost all mechanics in Pakistan complain of "hydraalick shtering leak karta hai" (they reuse hardened washers and then scratch their heads)

light foot? - meaning you dont press the accelerator at all? - I dont know what light foot means, I drive multiple vehicles with engine sizes ranging from 1.8 to 6.0 litres - I have no idea what is light foot you mention. - Vitz has a CVT which makes the engine sound even worse as it constantly drones an annoying deep note. (very poor sound from the engine induction)

btw - sound insulation in any Toyota Vitz/Yaris is extremely poor, the firewall panel has a very thin weaved nylon material - while even an old Pakistani made cultus has a thicker blanket of jute cushion there and more stuck to the carpet padding too.

This padding difference is because Japanese domestic market cars are built for extremely short life standards as its extremely expensive to service a car there and cars lose value very quick. So in a nutshell they are made to be scrapped at 5 years max, This is not unique to just your vitz, even the ancient E80 and E90 corollas which were sold as "reconditioned models" which were same as Japan auction yard cars today had poor quality materials due to short life.

the same model cars which were GEM (General Export Model) had much better paint, much more insulation and a lot of anti-corrosion materials applied to them.

1. It screams on hard acceleration only.

2. Vitz has excellent sound insulation. At least as compared to Pkdm cars like Corolla, brv, cultus etc. Not much sound inside the cabin even at motorway speeds.

in fact its particularly noticeable at high speeds, where you don't feel the wind noise n all in a jdm vitz while cultus, City, older corollas in particular you easily feel the outside noise.

You got a ride in a pretty abused vitz it seems.

[pwuser161228146379]

Okay, yes I mean press little accelerator paddle and drive in eco mode. And yes you are right about CVT it also reduces Engine acceleration/pick. ​

What do you say about Japanese car steering rack many people complain that fresh imported cars also have bad steering racks which makes noise on rough road and have play in it. But Japan road conditions are good so why steering rack has play and noise in it ?

Is this because the Japanese cars are made for short life?

And you said Japanese cars have low build quality but as compared to PKDM cars they have high quality right?
The suspension of PKDM car might be solid and made according to the road conditions of Pakistan. But I think paint quality of PKDM cars is low.

[pwuser161228146379]

I have tested my Vitz on Motorway on 160 km/h and there was no wind noise or engine noise.

Vitz is excellent at sound insulation as compared to pkdm cars.

[Xulfiqar]

Japanese cars come in many variants.

The domestic market cars which dealers call JDM are very low quality vehicles, their paint is very thin, they have very poor insulation and very poor corrosion protection too. The same cars when built to be exported from Japan have many variants too, EU, ASEA etc etc - the most common of them called "GEM" which translates to "General Export Model"

The General Export Model cars are much higher build quality than the JDM version - this even applies to vehicles like Land Cruisers and Nissan Safaris.

The cars being built in Pakistan are not GEM or JDM, they are built in Pakistan - they have some unique build items like heavy duty suspension and springs, heavy body corrosion coating (which is promptly removed by teyshun wash over and over again), heavier insulating rubber and the interior plastics are also a bit better than EU, US, ASEA models - and are categorized as equal to GEM quality.

The reason for these unique differences is that in Pakistan cars "end of life" is 20 years - unlike 5 years of Japan. locally
