VALVOLINE Engine oil

  • Exhaust smoke:
Rating 4.0

i honestly have no way to prove if it works, but i started using it in my ‘98 corolla about 20k mi ago (known for burning oil due to flawed piston design) and have noticed a significantly lower oil consumption rate, which was almost 2qts every 5k down to less than half

Pros: lower oil consumption rate
Cons: burning oil
Mileage: 32186 km

VALVOLINE Engine oil
TheTrueSlushy
  • Engine noise:
Rating 4.0

Just threw some into my Corolla with around 200k on it. Always used standard 5/0W-20s in it and last time I was inside of it there was some light depositing and varnish, nothing crazy but it runs like a well-kept 200k mile engine. Seems to have alleviated a little bit of lifter tick in the 500-700 miles that it’s been in there so far. Seems like a good and high quality oil overall.

Pros: alleviated lifter tick
Mileage: 500 km

MOTUL Engine oil

MOTUL 8100 ECO-LITE 5W-30: Don't let the name fool you, it's not actually that great for fuel economy compared to some others with a lower KV. With a TBN of 8.5, VI of 166 and KV of 11.4, this is one of the best 5W-30 oils you can get. This is leaning more towards a higher performance oil rather than focusing on fuel econ. The high TBN means you can get away with longer OCIs as well. I am personally using this in our 1.8L Corolla at home and the car runs smoothly and quietly and still gives us a good fuel average (for our use case), so I can't complain.

Pros: runs smoothly and quietly
Cons: not great fuel economy

OEM Toyota Engine oil

Brought it in for 5k ToyotaCare at the dealership I bought it from. Used wrong engine oil (at least they listed wrong on the service sheet but promised they did use 0w20) - GRC is only model where 5k or 6 month oil changes are standard. 2500 miles if driven hard. Fucked up the trans oil I asked them to change - used wrong oil type. Fucked up tcase and rear diff oils. Found oil spilled on some pieces of the subframe. Of the 2 test drives they did doing the warranty covered alignment they had 10+ drive pulse hard acceleration /braking/cornering alerts on both 4 mile drives. I changed the engine oil, trans, tacsee, rear diff, cleaned oil they spilt after picking it back up. They said they'd corrected their errors only after I got Toyota corporate involved. I didn't trust them to do anything so corrected all myself.

Pros: null
Cons: wrong oil, spilled oil, bad alignment
Mileage: 5000 km
