1st find out what Toyota specs are , but in general , no , do not use any grade oil other the specified . Mixng the oil grades id just wrng and will destroy your $5.000 engine over a few dollar saving... DO NOT CHANGE THE GRADE OF OIL , USE ONLY THE RECOMENDED GRADE... THE BRAND : CASTROL GTX ONLY most other oils are recycled garbage...
Believe it or not, it is normal for these engines to use about a quart every 2000 even when they are essentially new. Note that I said, "use", not "burn". The combination of higher compression and operating temperatures causes oil to pass through the engine. You might notice your tail pipes have a good coating on the inside. I managed to slow the process by converting to Mobil 1 0W40. I get much better performance and I only use a quart every 3500-4000.
Provided you use the correct grade of oil as stipulated by Toyota for your engine(you have NOT identified your model and engine)(check your owners manual) and provided you use the formulation suitable for Toyota engines you will be fine using the correct grade fully synthetic oil. There are sometimes 2 or 3 different formulations in exactly the same grade for some oil brands so make sure you select the correct one.
Some oil companies offer oil selector programs for customer use on their web sites so if unsure use these systems to ensure you are using the correct oil..
Old engine tend to wear piston ring in time,if you use wrong viscosity grade oil ,during idling the oil could not reach all moving parts because there is no enough oil pressure in the system,try 30/ 40 oil grade .
The bike holds just around 3 qts of oil Yamaha says use 20w40 but should be fine with any high grade motor oil all though I suggest not using anything with additives in it just basic high grade oil.
Hi Johnny, when you pull the inner leg out where the seal goes on, thats where you put the oil in but you need to make sure all old oil is out and you bleed the new oil as you put it in by simply pushing leg in and out, check with your dealer or service manual as to the amount and grade of oil, they come in different grades!!
You are asking what can be done to shift your manual tansmission easier ?
I would say if you are "grinding" gears, The clutch will A) have to be repaired, or B) a syncro has gone out in the trany.
using a high grade full synthetic is the best.
the oil grade which is 10w30 is for average driving conditions.
for winter,5w30 and 10w40 for summer is also recommended by alot of car manufacturers.The oil filler cap will tell you the oil grade.
use a good grade of automotive engine oil which is called 10w30 weight.
measure the amount of oil that you drain out so you will know approximately how much new oil to put in. then check your dip stick and adjust to get the exact amount of oil.
