raging_fifer Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Whats the best oil to use for a glanza?? Quote
Guest Enzo Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 10w 40 semi synthetic mate,im no expert on this but the general consensus is this grade of oil Quote
DAN_GTT Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 im using 5w 40,anything around that area will be fine Quote
nordonian Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 is 5w not to thini use 10w - 40 semi in the sr Quote
scutch0 Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 i thought it was a good idea to use a thin oil in a turbo car?in which case 5w sounds fine.Rich. Quote
ady Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 yeah you need the oil to be real thin from cold to lube up the turbo as soon as the engine starts.but if its too thin like 0w then the oil may leak a bit through the seals of the turbo making it smoke when hot, dont think it causes any damage just a waste of good oil!

Martin E Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 I use Castrol Motorsport 10w-60 in my non-turbo, and it runs lake a dream and uses no oil...Castrol recommed all turbo-cars to run on it.. I know Subaru and BMW uses this oil.. Quote
dac69er Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 jap toyotas are meant to use 10w-30.uk toyotas are meant to use 10w-40.thats of this age of car. Quote
ady Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 yeah they recommend 10w30 for the 4efte engine but that doesnt even exist in this country! 10w40 is the closest we can get Quote
dac69er Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 you can get 10w-30. just not very easily Quote
Slim Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 It depends on how much mileage you have done I have castrol edge sport 0w - 40w Quote
Hou Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 mines running on 0w-30w and hasnt used a drop of oil since getting it Quote
