Yeah its better to do all this shit so then at least the engine will be a bit cleaner and maybe run smoother (hopefully) engine oil is a drama with m car I have a long story to tell about it but in a nutshell I have tried 4 different oils 1 being semi synthetic and the other two synthetic and 1 normal oil Mobil 1 5w-50 (synthetic) Castrol synth-R ( or somewhere likewise) 10w-60 (synthetic) Penrite 15w-60 (semi-synthetic) Penrite 20w-60 (normal) Tried all of them and wasted heaps of money , cause the car was running rough, kinda shuddering feeling ,, will come and go , come and go , ( vroooomm—shudder—vrooommmm& ;#8212;shudder—vroom ---shudder) like that about a 3 sec brake between the shudders ------- all this happened when the car would be at cold start in Melbourne winter, I tried all the kinds of oil mentioned above and the only one that made the car not shudder much was the last one the 20w-60 from penrite But all those oils made the car run very smooth when the car was warm ( car sounded like a mouse) no noise at all My car also used to take ages to warm up , like 15 0- 20 mins atleast to reach the half mark ( all these tests were conducted when the car was in that state ) Later found out that the thermo stat was stuck open and that why the car was taking that long to warm up Now im thnking that’s prob why the car was running rough like that during cold start cause the engine oil wasn’t at normal operating temperature and wasn’t performing how it should have been So now I have to do the tests all over again to see which one will work well Damn bugger of a job I also found out that the soarer was made to run on 10w-30 oil ( shiteeeeeeeeee) And to make matters worse for me Toyota sell the genuine 10w-30 oil , so im going to try that one out If im not happy with it , I mi9ght go with the 15w-60 penrite semi synthetic Its up to you what u want to put in the car , but im recommending the 15w-60 penrite its good stuff I will let u know how I went with the Toyota oil as I haven’t tried it yet For now the penrite 15w-60 [Report message to a moderator]
