Engine oil Shell or OEM Toyota

I use Rotella T4 on my 2.5L and have been for years because high ZDDP helps with the valve tapping I have going on. It has actually gotten quieter over time and feel the engine is running smoother than ever.

I’m using the 0w16 from Renault that probably is a Shell RN17, I have about 25.000km now and I will do the third change on the beginning of next year… but in the sandero that I also own I changed to 5w30 (from 0w20) both RN17 and the engine feels way softer and silent…

gamit ko yung city scooter sa adv ko. laki ng nabawas sa vibration nakaka 2500km palang ako with this.

Perhaps using a lower weight, full synthetic engine oil would build pressure faster and reduce the noise.

Shell, better oil and last longer. I use petronas cepat habiss woo minyak walhal jalan sama je balik kerja.

900 rs shell engine oil for my scooty. Amazing. Smooth roses amd better mileage.

All three I ran Rotella T6 5w-40. I ran 5K oil changes with OEM or WIX filters. All had Blackstone oil analysis done, and all passed every time with flying colors.

5k with Rotella T6.

If you are using ToyotaCare, they will push 10k/1yr oil change interval. If you willing to pay for every oil change, they don't care.

2000s Toyotas. Not really unreliable, but oil burning was an issue on most of these because people did not change the oil on time.
