StarletRick Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 should really be using 10w30 in the 4efte. thats what toyota recommend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 yea indeed they did, look says so here in plain JDM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
addz Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 So 10w30 is what Toyota recommend.Then how come peeps use 10w40?Not familiar to oil grades.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 10w40 will be fine mate, there's no scientific reason why 10w30 will be any better, it all depends on the climates etc, japan climate is very different to ours, thus 10w40 seems to work better over here.

addz Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Right guys.After work today i carried out my service replacing:OilOil filter NGK7 spark plugsMagnecor 8.0mm Ht leadsDistribuor capRota arm.Everthing went fine although a little oil went on the aux belt whilst removing oil filter, i cleaned the oil as i didnt want it to cause any inconvenience.I later drove to my mates house nd went to grab a bite, On the drive something didnt quite feel right as the revs were rising a little faster than the speed on an occasion. I knew something was wrong as the car felt as if she wanst reaching her optimum, even after the service.I then later cleaned the aux belt to make sure there was no excess oil floating around, which there wasnt. Drive back from the M25 - the engine management light came on, car was driving fine with the slight rev stepping faster than the speed.I have now put her in the drive to see what i can find for tomorrow, must be something that i must have moved maybe?What can it be guys?I had to remove the Intercooler and so on to carry the service...Have i knocked a sensor somewhere?Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbodreams Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 i noticed this too after servicing everything same to use, apart from rotor and distri, mine was idling at between 1-2k revs, but nows it fine, and idles properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
