Haseeb bhai why havent you tried 5w30 in your car. Is it safe to have 5w30 for permanent use or not.

haseeb.basharat 2016-06-19 08:24:46 +0500 #302

5w30 isn't readily available at all Toyota dealerships.
Both will perform almost the same, there will be negligible difference. Also, change interval life is the same.
The main thing is cost, petron plus cost 2600/4liters and 5w30 cost 4000above/4 liter. This engine needs 4.15L

The best recommended oil is 5w-30 according to owners manual , if u can afford a 2 million plus rs car , better do proper maintainance

Don't say that if you don't know anything. Owner's manual? Toyota recommend 5w50 for Altis.

Here's to your statement: Toyota 2ZR Engine | Turbo, specs, problems, modifications please review the last recommended oil.

I have been driving cars from toyota indus and I seriously know how to mantain them.

PS: don't dish it out if you can't let it in

First digit "w" stands for cold start means the viscosity of oil when your car is cold. The last digit refers to the viscosity of oil when your engine is at its optimum temperature. The last recommended oil by wikimotors is 10w30 for this engine, all other recommendations includes 0w20 5w20 5w30

You are exactly right haseeb, and you don't live in cold area so you don't need 5w30, you are living where temperatures are mostly high so its better for engine to use oil which is more viscous when cold...

And less viscous oils like 5w or less are expensive so people think that they are superior in quality

Price of oil depends upon the brand, manufacturer and quality.
Petron plus is cheaper coz it is manufactured in Pakistan by Mobil Askari Limited. 5w30 is pricey because it is imported from Japan not
Readily available at all dealerships and manufactured by idemitsu, Japan.

Price of mobil 1 5w50 and Taglon 5w50 has a difference of like 1500rs, the reason is the same that taglon is manufactured by MAL, both the oil are same

I have altis 1.6 owner's manual it recommends 5w-30 fully synthetic

It's of no use. You need to concern internation standards instead of Toyota Pakistan who gonna insist you to put taglon 5w50 at first oil change. You know which oil company has poured in grande and all other variants? 20w50 petron and ask people to drive on it for 5000km
So, will you trust them now?

haseeb.basharat;5111070:

I changed rims and tyres in my 2010 corolla.
The thing is, when you are going big than go big on price. Go for lenso or ssr lightweight rims 6-7kg/rim. Tyres should be 215/50 or 215/55 if you go for corolla. Yes, it will affect suspension, but if you drive carefully it won't and the only good thing you will get is outclass road grip.
When you will use light weight rims your car won't struggle for acceleration, and it won't affect fuel consumption (it didn't affect consumption of 2010 rolla). If you go for low profile like 40/45 than you are in trouble. A little khadda or a speed bump will bend the outer side of your rim if you're coming at like 60-70, but I would prefer to go for 50 profile.

Keep one thing in mind you have to go for light weight and branded rims.
The lighter they are the lesser will be the affect on your car.

PS: Lighter rims are much stronger than big heavy bulku ones

Where can one buy brand new set runs from?

For 1.6 and others

5w-30 is recommended only in extreme cold weather. While 10W-30, 15-40 and 20W-50 are recommended.
