any advice?

0w-20 fully synthetic better

5w30 better

Whatever your manual book recommended

Why 0w20 is good?

ask your mekanik

5-w30

Tinner oil improves performance and FC slightly... But not sure with 1nzfe is designed for 20wt oil.

Oh found it, 20wt oil is suitable. For 10yrs old engine, you have to monitor the oil consumption. If 20wt oil resulting in excessive oil loss, you have to use 30wt.

40 if a lot of high RPM driving. 30 for regular use.

20 is thin like piss. And MY weather makes it worse. RIP engine longevity.

buang old vios get new one
owai

0w-40 🤣

If want to be safe 15w-40

dun be pussy, just go 0w 40 full synthetic je.

real man dont care what oil use, if problem just change car until good je like normal /ktard

0 or 15 in front doesn't matter. Malaysia got not winter.

ayam using 5w30 kaito after pm kaito on shopee.
initially plan to use 5w40 . but the sifu in fast and furious section recommend 5w30 same as the info i got from the kaito shopee.

Sifu? Is this good or not?

Wrong. If the engine is designed for 20wt oil, you use 20wt.

Vios minimum is 30W. If frequency of driving high speed, take 40w for extra protection.

30w will give you more engine noise compared to 40w.

If need to ask

Change new car

This brand good or not.. kaito brand.. i see on shoppee too.. a lot of good review

Nope... Won't even bother....

It's just another Malaysia brand oil....

so far so good la...smooth engine start.
btw my vios is around 15 yo liao.
i bought it due to good review too .as long as the brand come with the API certification . i think should be fine.
i upgraded my plug to denso iridium plug too. what i havent done is to pour in a bottle of engine cleaning oil in my fuel tank.

It you want good and cheap oil, get penzoil.

Engine oil so cheap still wanna skimp...Janganlah...

Just get Petronas Syntium...or the Shell Helix Ultra at Tesco.

shd go min w30 , thick oil will protect old engine . Go Giant or tesco buy shell w30 or w40 fully syn RM100 - RM120 only

75W140

If 5w30 is semi synthetic, just go for 5w40 full synthetic.

you say good then i think i will try

where got cheap, penzoil sumore

when is the promo and how much?

Ya ya... Nugget & ayam Pug pakai this oso.

Kek axle oil

I think around RM100-ish at Tesco..Shell Helix Ultra 5W-30

The best

Dunno la, this TS also never mention his car millage, how to help ? But here mostly lapsap.

SHU 5-30 can liao. Janji ori

5w040 , i used it for my over 10years car

HDEO

err, my mileage not much lar, can't remember, maybe 200-300k

Any oil will do. Just follow what's being written in your user manual. Don't be shy to read.

Then u best to use 10w40 or 5w40

Did your engine consume EO ? If not can continue to use weighted 30 oil.

Follow back same type engine oil can already. Never seen VIOS have white smoke before.

White smoke is blown head gasket already....

Aiya vios engine so reliable no matter what oil u put no problem la

Mileage doesn't matter... More important is engine oil consumption.

10 year old je.. go with what stated in owner manual/service manual and come back and ask again after 20 years..

engine consuming EO, I was using bardahl 5w40, that's why want to change to 5w30

No. White smoke is worn pistons. NA almost never can get damaged head gaskets unless the engine was overheated badly from faulty cooking systems. Unlike turbo engines where the gaskets are constantly exposed to very high pressures.

This. Come time just overhaul jer la.

Follow ur manual

Then u shouldn't use a lighter weighted EO. I guess u need to do an overhaul. Have your mechanic check to confirm. Probably top overhaul.

DVVT is all xW30

And Xw is for cold country. Sini takde guna
.

if you car has no issue and no leaking
stick to what u have been using

DO NOT, i repeat DO NOT go for lighter oil just because you wanna save fuel

both ok

That one is light bluish or greyish smoke. Most pple mistaken it for white.

Most engines will hardly have smoke even when it's worn. It's just an increase in EO.

Whichever more expensive

no
some people believe that and it cost them HARD
some people even more stupid, they think vios engine so reliable, they can skip service

and then the catastrophic happen

RTFM?

Have u heard of using grease? Time to learn a thing or two from the russian

Engine rebuild la.
Engine going to keep burning oil doesn’t matter what grade.
The moment it stops burning oil is either you rebuilt it or it’s totally dieded.

The recipe for that oil cocktail is @ 16:30

perodua using it

200k+ mileage, use 5w40 fully synthetic

How much oil are you losing?? Do you need to top up??

The problem with thicker oil is fuel consumption and power loss. if TS travels alot, 5% increase in FC can be quite a lot.

10W.. cukup-la! Not high performance engine. Although some idiots fill up with 0W for their berukdua engines.

What is the meaning of the w and the numbers? Is there a general reference of how much mileage need to use what number?

Ayam 9 old saga flx using 0w-30...

https://www.castrol.com/en_us/united-states...-explained.html

just buy toyota full synthetic for vios, the service center know which oil is ngam for your vios model, then get the original oil filter too. Changing those both plus with good condition air filter, can last 10000km or 6 months.

yes..this is true...i was using 10w40 Semi syn before changing to 5w30 Full syn because i simply cant find any engine oil on the shelf during cny last year.
suffer power loss and high fuel consumption.

Worn pistons. You have it before?

5w30 la. Recommended Viscosity.
U put 0w20 too thin. Can't even lubricant ur engine. Just like no oil in engine.

U put 5/10/15w 40 too thick. Your engine oil pump can rosak. Ur engine oil pump designed to pump 5w30. Tapi u pour 5w40 too thick. Cannot tahan. If ur oil pump got sumbat worst. Anything engine jam.

memang kena pow la

A toyota engine is built like a tank. As long u change engine oil every 7000km, any engine oil will do. This vios will probably last u another 10 years. Its rock solid

Vios is known to have engine oil consumption issue when the engine gets old..So 5w40 is recommended for your Vios.

Why everyone here against the 0w20? It's still fully synthetic engine, protect the engine again heat, lubricate etc

get the 5w40 for better protection

NCP93?

Increase in fuel consumption when using 'thicker' oil means oil is too cold. Maybe your thermostat rosak or you don't really drive for a long stretch of time everytime you start your car

Bcoz TS engine old already and loss some oil..

0W20 is too light if your oil system is engine speed dependent. Light oil runs down to the sump quicker, so not "sticking" to the moving parts longer. When you rev high, more oil volume can circulate to counter this. But when you are just cruising along a low rpm, your parts tend to run dry.

If you are using dry sump, then it eliminates that problem. Because your oil flow are set at a minimum volume.

i used 5w40, because toyota service quote they are using 5w40 for their full syntectic option. it does feel a little rough compared to 5w30 semi.

bruh
we live in malaysia
we don't look at the number before W...that's "W"inter rating

we look at the back number for it's viscosity only....u can fill 0W-30 also can if this oil exist

from the owner manual, you can use xw-40 if environment temperature is more than -12

Inb4 kancil use minyak sawit brand vesawit

w30 la..follow owners manual...duhh...

my idea, TS should repair the source of leak first, usually the Valve cover gasket, norm after high mileage. if the manual said 0w20 is one of recommendation, I will suggest it. Best FC, engine can get light feeling power etc.

There is one experiment i wanted to test, by using human fat. Human fat extracted from liposuction, use that as engine oil...

You can try Kaito 5W-40 engine oil.

Minyak masak best

Don’t confuse American junk and Japanese technology.
Lol

Coz they all drive like they’re racing Le Mans every day. 75% full throttle of the time.

Shell helix hx7 semi syn high mileage engine oil.

Try 5w30 1st. If engine oil no loss within 5,000km then ok. If got loss then try use 5w40.

Usually shell helix hx7 can last 7,000km-8,000km.
At 5,000km the oil still look clear and slightly new, not black yet.

Correct. Just follow manual.

Is not confuse, I don't discriminate... Whatever race also drink the same water, breathe the same air. Got what so atas ?

Lol
Are you lining up to buy American motors then?
Japanese while not perfect are more reliable.
And either ts can persist by feeding his engine more oil or get it rebuilt.

Is this true ?

WD-40

No
follow your manual book

dont simply pour 0w-20 into old car

if engine oil consumption will be bluish smoke

if white meant burning coolant liao

if u used 5w40 still consuming EO

u need to go even higher ..or ..overhaul

lower down to 5w30 will made your consumption even faster/higher

Yes.. u can try to google around.
