I recently bought a pre-owned Toyota Corolla and I'm not sure which engine oil to use. Should I go for a synthetic or conventional oil? And which brand is the best? I've heard mixed opinions and I don't want to damage my engine. Any advice?
ReplyHi Samantha, congratulations on your new Toyota Corolla! When it comes to choosing engine oil, it's important to consider your driving habits and the type of climate you live in. If you typically drive in extreme temperatures or engage in heavy towing or hauling, synthetic oil would be a better choice. However, if you have a more standard driving routine, conventional oil will work just fine. As for brands, do some research on manufacturer recommendations and look for oils with reputable certifications, such as API or ACEA. Personally, I've had success with brands like Mobil 1 and Castrol. Ultimately, the most important thing is to regularly change your oil according to your car's schedule, even if you stick with conventional oil. Hope this helps!
Hi Samantha, I've been a Toyota Corolla owner for many years and I've found that using synthetic oil has helped improve my car's performance and longevity. It's a bit more expensive, but it's worth it. As for brands, I always go for Mobil 1 or Pennzoil. Just make sure to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and you should be good to go!
