Salam everyone,
I've purchased as Aqua S package 2013. Its my first hybrid car and i didnt know many things about it. I changed the oil with Shell 5w-30, though 5w-40 didn't seem feasible to me in terms of it being a bit thicker.
Few questions regarding it,
1) which oil should be used ? What should be its viscosity ??? And should i go for toyota genuine engine oil ?
2) which oil filter and air filter to be used ?
3) should i replace its gear oil as its its clocked 79k and which gear oil to use ??
4) when i'll be servicing my car's engine bay so should i cover the battery or how should i service my car ???

please answer me as soon as possible.

Gear Oil shud be changed asap

there is no battery in the engine bay brother

Aoa Everyone. I just bought Aqua 2013 model with 108,000 KM mileage.
I have changed mobil oil with 05w-20 zic and was planing to change the gear / transmission oil.

when i visited Toyota Dealer ship they said that they will change it and also said that filter of gear oil also needs to be cleaned and for that they will open Crank Case. And Charges are Rs. 1,800/-
And also said that after that a calibration will be performed with computer, Charges Rs.2,500/-

I haven't heard from any one on this forum about that so didn't changed Transmission oil yet.

Is it necessary to also clean Gear oil filter and crank case and caliberation?

And also if any one can share pics and process of how to change Gear oil??... so that i know that my mechanic is doing it right?

Unfortunately couldn't find any experienced Mechanic as there are very few Aqua here in Peshawar and mechanics also don't know much about it.

[umarmuslim]

do not know about calibration

but yes whenever i change gear oil

my mechanic suggests that Filter be cleaned

there is a washel in there dont let them drop it into the leaked oil

u will have to get a new one and will waste time

wassalaam

Just purchased this few weeks ago. Here weather is bad so posting dealership pics. They call it Toyota Prius C here. It has 1.5L engine. Mine is package 3, which has everything but sunroof, heated seats, leather and backup camera. If you guys have any questions regarding Prius C, ask me.

Is it left hand drive or right hand drive? The photo shows LHD.

[civic7]

Which oil filter is being used in Aqua... 90915-YZZF2 or 90915-YZZE1??

[toofast]

Okay, so I have been looking for information regarding Genuine Toyota Oil Filters, specifically for 1NZ-FE engine. There are two variants:

Part No. 90915-10003
Made in Japan (costs 800 Rupees from genuine part dealers/about 1200 from Toyota 3S)
This is the same part no. as Toyota catalog for Axio

Part No. 90915-YZZE1
Made in Thailand (costs about 400 Rupees from genuine part dealers)

I have mostly seen Thailand made oil filters in oil change shops. They give option of Leppon filter but I was not given an option of Japanese Toyota oil filter. The main difference between the two seems to be the element inside, pressure plate and relief valve. Thai made is cheaper, probably because it is sort of a paper? and I suspect it will be prone to holes. I intend to dissect the oil filter once I go for next oil change to see what has happened to it.

I am really interested in knowing the exact technical difference between the two. Whether it is safe to use the cheap Thai made oil filter, still a Toyota product for 5000 km interval. Other things like micron rating, by-pass valve setting, flow rate etc. of the two. So far I have only found one website, in Russian which has compared oil filters of different brands. The pictures attached here are all taken from the same website:
Link-1
Link-2

From Google's translation of the site, I understand that the Thai filter's pressure plate also serves as the relief valve i.e. no dedicated relief valve. (This obviously is another cost saving step) While on Japanese, the pressure plate is separate and relief valve is embedded within the filter element. Can someone please tell me the pros/cons of pressure plate serving as a relief valve as well?

Here's what I am talking about, Japanese (pressure plate is to the right of filter, relief valve is embedded on top of the filter element):

Thai (nothing in the filter element, the pressure plate is also relief valve):

and some more detailed images

MADE IN JAPAN

Close up of the filter element. Relief valve can be clearly seen there, the coil thing.

MADE IN THAILAND

Nothing embedded in filter media. Pressure plate to the right also serves as relief valve

Thank you for reading the topic. Looking forward to gain knowledge about this from everyone who can participate.

Respected members,
I am planning to buy an aqua. Obviously have looked at a few and have finalized on to one that has an auction sheet that the owner claims that can be verified. Long story short it is a L package. I dont have a requirement for a push start but i definately require an immobilizer. Is that present in a L package or not? And how can i test if the car i am interested in has immobilizer?
Kindly please reply

[ahmedriazku]

As far as I know Hybrid cars cannot be ommobilised via any tracker. The reason is that trackers are designed to stop the fuel engine while Aqua has two engines, one is electric which cannot be stopped without simultaneously stopping it with the fuel engine. I dont know about other tracking cos but here in Karachi TPL trackers dont install immobiliser, they only track.

Aqua only has Immobilizer if its a Push Start Variant

You dont need to check

L Package never has immobilizer since its never Push Start
