Engine oil OEM Toyota or PENNZOIL

I have a 2015 Tacoma 4-cylinder stick shift 52,000 mi. I bought it new. The only maintenance I had to do was oil changes and I go underneath with a grease gun and grease all the fittings along the axle.

SP certified oils have better LSPI protection than SN, and SP is what Subaru requires for this generation.

I use PUP 0w20 in mine. Lots of tests and UOA show that Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is the best non-boutique oil you can buy. But honestly any top shelf oil will work. 5k km intervals are more important than brand with a turbo engine.

Do her a favor a change the oil, with Valvoline Restore and Protect or Pennzoil Ultra platinum, it will quite down a little and it would be great for the car.

Just got the oil lab report back from the sample taken during the oil change I did at 15K miles. The previous oil change at 10K was performed by the dealership. So that means that whatever the Toyota dealership put in there at 10K, was not OEM Toyota oil.

Pennzoil Platinum Synthetic. My 1988 740 has near excellent compression at 245k og miles.

I bought a 2008 toyota yaris for $5.5k on fb marketplace. Had a prepurchase inspection.\n\nI love that car for the exact reasons you mentioned. It\u2019s been with me everywhere ive gone, is super cheap on gas, and just requires oil changes every 8000 km.

At the very least, make sure you're using quality oil like Mobil or Castrol or Pennzoil.

Just hard to read with fresh oil. 0-16 was impossible to read on the dipstick when new in my 2022 Camry. Even my 2011 Corolla is hard to read.

BMW switched from Castrol to Penzoil years ago...but both cause oil starvation in The S65 motor
