Fawad what is your opinion on taglon xe,zic x7, and Valvoline durablend? Are they all good? Or is zic n taglon sus?

Use the one which is a synthetic blend with the latest API spec in lowest price.

How much oil are you pouring in your corolla ? 3.5 or 3.7 litres ?

[pwuser165176643628]

3.5 leaves oil at top mark 3.7 crosses it

[Thinking]

i am using toyota taglon 5w-50 in 2SZ FE. helps with reducing knocking issue considerably

however a sticker in the bonnet suggests 0w-20 for my 2SZ FE. however i have never used it since it was not available in the market earlier.

[ifadey]

Using thick oil will mask the underlying problem, but it's not a fix. You are causing more harm to the VVT system when using 5W-50 where 0W-20 is required. The oil will not flow properly and the components which are working fine will go bad in addition to what's already bad.

In such cases there are two options.
1) Keep using thick oil and swap the engine when it completely fails.
2) Save the engine by rebuilding it now.

I was using Total 5W-30 for a couple of years but when the car started consuming oil my brother switched directly to Kixx 20W-50 which was a big mistake imo. The engines performance isn't what it used to be. The fuel consumption is like a 200 series land cruiser. The car had some oil leaks and oil consumption problems, they are now addressed, should I switch back to 5W-30 or would that be too aggressive ? 10W-40 or 10W-30 seems like a good middle ground at this point. The car consumes a lil oil still but I guess that's normal.

This is what it says online for 2nz-fe engines. I used to pour 3.7 litres for a long time.

Transmission Oil For Daihatsu Mira ES

I have the manual for Daihatsu Mira ES 2013. It says I should use Amix CVT Fluid - DFE * 1 or DC. There is any chance of finding the transmission of oil of such brand which I think not. Please suggest me transmission oil equivalent to Amix CVT Fluid - DFE * 1 or DC that is locally available in Pakistan.
