Engine oil Castrol or OEM Toyota

I have a 2016 Corolla and just had the oil changed at dealership at 188000 km. Worked out for me.

I use Castrol EDGE 5W-30 LL Fully Synthetic Engine Oil on my B48 pre LCI G21 no issues at all and complies with BMW specifications

I'm from a Toyota family. My parents used to buy Toyotas just out of warranty and never did any maintenance on them. When an oil change interval was due my dad checked the oil levels and maybe topped it up a little if necessary - like once a year that is. There was never an engine problem.

If it\u2019s a Toyota it will run just fine even with chewing gum instead of oil, a Subaru will explode one mile past the due service mark.

See how much metal that 08 weight pisswater has generated after only 1.3k miles? Switch to 0w30/5w30 and you'll see a drastic reduction in wear. I know I did.

Forgive me but I’m confused. The Tundra doesn’t have two separate oil reservoirs that I’m aware of and I change my own oil. Also, for what it’s worth mines been flawless since 2022 and almost 40,000 miles (not that that is a lot but just saying).

I have a 2010 Jetta TDI cup edition with the CJAA engine and the factory spec listed in the manual is 5W-40… On top of that the oil cap alone has Castrol on it\nSo Castrol 5W-40…. End of story…. I apologize if I sound condescending as I do not mean to and also recognize you may have purchased your vehicle second hand and it may have not come with a manual… But if the top of your 710 aka oil cap says Castrol on it and you truly have a CJAA engine then I guarantee you that Castrol 5W-40 is the proper oil regardless of location or climate Ps…. Anyone who claims to use or recommend anything else has also probably had massive engine problems or engine repairs an question why they had those issues Follow factory spec and maintenance recommendations…. I’m pushing 280k on my CJAA engine without a single issue

While I didn't own a 2018 (mine was 2013 hybrid -> 2022 prime), here's my short list:

Electric gives a huge increase in torque from 10-50mph

Mechanic told me the oil came out barely darker than it went in on the last change. ~80% electric miles

I did burn more Castrol than kroon. now i cannot get kroon and changed to Motul which seems to burn faster than kroon.

Forget Castrol LL! Its a VAG Killer Oil. In this Case Mobil 1
