My old waja 2003, odometer 298k km. Keep using fully Synthetic 5w-40 or 5w-30 from day one.

No oil eat syntoms whatsoever.
Keep change the oil at 12-13k km per interval. Hardly rev the engine on daily use, it known for underpower 4G18 auto.

Good on you.
I'm currently pushing semisyn Total Energy 10W40 beyond 15K km and going...... basing on Blotter Spot Test results. tongue.gif
