When to change your engine oil

10-40 for me and I change it every 6 months with this car using the genuine Toyota oil filter. Probably OTT but with VVTI units and Turbo seals known to fail I will feed the heart with a decent fluid every 6 months for such a small outlay.

aslo if you drive the car with more coldstarts/allaround year i would recomand using like 5-40 oil. having too thick oil on cold crank can actually dmg since the oil is verry thick the oilpressure will be verry high on a cold day.

 

Thats why I use 5-40 full synthetic in mine (Silkolene / Fuchs). If I were to track the car then the oil would be of a higher viscosity, however as I don't and doubt ever will 5-40 suits me just fine.
