Hi,

What engine oil Toyota uses in 1.6 VVT-i? I have heard that Castrol 5W-30 but which one exactly?

thanks

I find it differs from dealer to dealer as long as the oil used is in Toyota spec. Both of my TS ran on Castrol Magnatec from their first services as this was the oil of choice at my local dealer.

Interestingly enough my T-180 now has the same Castrol Magnatec 5W-30 in it from its first service. Modern Toyota diesels don't require special 'diesel' oil like VW, etc.
