I think 5000 is semi synthetic while 7000 is full synthetic
5000 is mineral oil, 7000 is semi-synthetic, 9000 is full synthetic

PS, do you change your oil filter each time?

Well it may not apply to you but, When an Engine is at its hottest never open and metal part, it block should cool down,I learnt the hard way.My car in 9ja was doing over heating for whatever reason and I realized it has trapped air in the system,The bleed screw on a Jeep liberty is metal, so I opened it while it was steamy hot, guess what, there was expansion and contraction when it cooled down.water and steam kept coming out of it.
I had to replace that section of piping.SO make sure your drain plug is cool enough B4 you open it.
PS.Abroad when you change your Oil you are also meant to change the drain plug and washer same time but I understand this wont be possible in 0ja.

I know autotrader2...used it when I bought the corolla newly but some engine oil provides similar performance like Mobil 20W-50 XHP and is readily available. Had to switch based on research and recommendation. But if prospective buyers are in doubt...they should please go for the one recommended by Toyota.

I seriously doubt a 20w50 oil would provide similar performance and protection like a 5w20 or 5w30. I hope you realize what you are doing to your engine. Good luck with that
