Toyotas Own 5w30 Oil

[Younes]

Went down to my local toyota dealer on the weekend and he recommended a 5w30 oil at £18 inc vat. But he was not sure if it was semi or fully syn oil. Can anyone confirm what kind of oil it is?

Thanks

It is semi synthetic

My local dealer was doing it at £11 Incl. VAT a few weeks back so I bought 5 litres - I understand it is a semi-synthetic by the way

you can buy Mobil 5W30 semi synth for under ~£5/litre.

5L of fully synth for £16 would be a serious bargain - are you sure?

Also, check the API/ACEA etc. classifications against what is recommended for your car & not just the viscosity.

special offer now at vauxhalls 4x5ltr for £48 plus vat.

Just found out that the 5w30 is made by Fuchs and is a group 4 PAO far better protection than the mineral oils.
