shotuns: Brother, you can use 5w30 in place of 10w30 |

And for those engines specifying Ow20 you can use 5w20 for it. Excellent substitute. 1 Like

autotrader2:My car is 2003 toyota Highlander, with above 250k mileage, normally used toyota oil 20w50 in servicing and the last time I went to service at total filling station, I used their oil 20w50 in November and since then whenever I accelerate I hear a funny sound. Now I want to service car, can I go back to toyota car specification of 5W30 without any negative effect or should I continue with the 20W50 but toyota oil . Thanks you. I use the car within town. No travelling |

Joyekpen: That 20w50 oil is not good for your Highlander engine. Your mileage is very high too. You should try the 5w30 to see if it can help to clean the sludge in that engine and boost the performance. Its been proven to help eliminate most of the engine noises You can call 09086679585 to get the Toyota Motor Oil 5w30. The price is 3k per litre 1 Like |

Joyekpen: Quickly migrate to the recommended Toyota Motor Oil 5w30. I have used it and will continue to use it, after previously using the wrong oil specification in my cars. The first thing you notice when you change the oil to the Toyota oil is how quiet your engine runs...almost silent. The drive is so cool now and i look forward to driving everyday. Frankly, i think this is one of the best OEM oils you can find. Make sure it is the US Spec oil you get and not the Dubai one that comes in metal containers. The difference between the two is really large 9 Likes 1 Share |

^^^^ so what then if he has been using 20w50 ? |

IPOB123london: The next question would be for how long? |
Re: Why The Obsession With 20W50 Engine Oil? by IPOB123london: 5:59pm On Feb 27, 2017 |
ok lets say 3yrs^^ |
Re: Why The Obsession With 20W50 Engine Oil? by autotrader2: 6:54pm On Feb 27, 2017 |
IPOB123london: Ahhhh that's really serious. Engine would be badly "sludged". Changing to the required oil would be helpful in cleaning the sludge but again, depends on how far gone that engine is. 3 yrs of your using 20w50 and maybe 8 previous years of using AZ oil before the car got to you. You get my drift? |

[Thanks, I did service the car with 5w30. Honestly the car is so smooth now and the silly sound reduced and is almost gone now. I will never listen to some mechanics again. Thanks Nairaland family. The important thing that made me happy was when the service center now placed a paper on when next to service, oooh boy! Unlike 20w50 which is almost monthly. I am so happy for using this oil though expensive but worth it. Thanks again. quote author=Niyitoba post=54010510] Quickly migrate to the recommended Toyota Motor Oil 5w30.

A Brand new car is a sight to behold and a pleasure behind the wheel which is appreciated even by those you drive by. If you really want to keep your car on the Road, then maintenance is essential. This can be quite expensive even time consuming, but...You have a car!!! So you just have to deal with it and... it worth's it. Now You have a Car, it has to remain in a great condition and this goes far beyond pouring oil, sprinkling of fairy dusts on the engine and using some kinda ionized wonder water for the interior. You have to adopt these 6 Superb Car maintenance Tips. http://newzified..com/2017/07/car-owner-here-are-6-superb-car.html |

Please educate your mechanics to stop giving harmful oil advice. You cannot be using 20w50 oil in modern engines and expect good results. Most likely, your engine will pack up in the long run. As for me, I use Genuine Toyota Motor Oil 5w20 for my Lexus GX70 and other cars. The performance is unbelievable. I have used Nigerian Mobil-1 and trust me, it doesn't even come close to the performance and protection I experience with the Genuine Toyota Oil. This is the US Toyota Oil I'm talking about not the one from Abu Dhabi . |
