Service Mistakes?

[svennesvendsen]

Hi

Just picked up my Yaris 1.3 (2SZ-FE engine) from 45.000 km service.

To my surprise I discovered that they had used a 0w-30 oil (Castrol slx 0w-30), in spite of the manual saying 5w-30.

The oil filter were changed too, but instead of the usual sparepart no. 90915 TA001 (fitted at the last service), they had used a 90915 YZZJ1.

The workshop was very busy when i picked up my car, so I did'nt have a chance to speak with the man who did my car.

My Yaris runs OK, a little bit more noisy perhaps. But I worry about the 90915 YZZJ1 Oil filter and the Castrol slx 0w-30.

Could it harm my Yaris in any way? Any suggestions?

thank you

Hello Svenne, welcome to TOC

I would think that you should have no worries with the oil (Castrol SLX.................not SIX) :

This exceeds the range required by Toyota.

As to the filter................... I think that the first part of the Part number is the important part (90915)

Parts King on these forums should be able to confirm this as he works for a Toyota dealership...............(You could try dropping him a PM)

the part numbers on the filters have changed in the last year or so. the one thats on is the same as the old one dont worry, as for the oil dont worry is should be fine.
