Fully synthetic API SN 5W-30, 0W-40, 5W-40 (in the order of preference.)

You will find above viscosity grades in all reputable companies (Mobil, LM, Shell, Total, Caltex etc.)

Oil change at 10,000kms for normal service. This is good for environment. Less pollutants. Only change at 5,000kms if you think your driving is in very severe conditions.

Toyota genuine oil is also available in fully synthetic 5W-30 API SN grade. That is a very good oil if you can source it from somewhere.

Is this available in can?
Dealership recommends taglon of tpo .
What do u say?

This tin is not available here. The one available here is semi synthetic. If you want to switch right now, then go for quartz 9000 ..its imported and has Excellent reviews. Taglon is also not that bad, but if u wanna switch, get Quartz 9000 5w-30..

If you keep googling, you can find infinite brands.. but only few are being imported

Bro let me try to explain in simplest terms, and without getting in to any "Larai Jhagra" with any member:

Study your car's owners / users manual. It will definitely and necessarily have all the details regarding recommended engine oil grade / viscosity for your car (you can also look for recommended engine oils for your car's engine on the internet). Start from the thinnest, and i believe, it will be 5w-30 in your case. Pour in any oil which is; 5w-30, fully synthetic, meeting latest API SN / SN Plus, and / or ILSAC GF-5 criteria, from some reputed brand, and 100% genuine and original.

Now in your case, since your vehicle is under warranty and i hope that you will also be maintaining it, i would recommend you to use Toyota Genuine Engine Oil only! (but grade / viscosity, and API & ILSAC criteria should be met). I think, it will be available with Toyota Service Centres / Dealerships, or they can guide you from where to buy, or source it for you. It might cost you a bit when compared to competition, but since it will be imported and genuine, and also meet warranty requirements, it will be a win-win situation. Warranty will also remain intact (since you will be pouring Toyota Genuine Oil from their dealership) and grade / viscosity, fully synthetic, API, ILSAC, etc. Criteria will also be met!

(In aftermarket brands, i would recommend Total Quartz 9000 Future Series 5w-30 only! Its best for bucks!)

Regarding fIlters, be it oil, air, AC / Cabin, etc. I would suggest to only use genuine and OEM ones only! Don't buy and use aftermarket filters.

Change oil + oil filter after every 5,000 Kms.

I hope, this all helps. Thank you.

[anon35615524]

Yes. You are right regarding costs.

Dealerships are the most expensive, when it comes to regular, routine maintenance.

You may continue pouring 5w-30 as long as the engine health remains perfect, and it will remain perfect as long as you take care of your ride, and change oil + oil filter after regular intervals.

Toyota Petron Plus 10W30 good enough for 5000kms.
