I think IS200 engine oil is 5w30, I'm using that ridiculously expensive castrol stuff. Opie oils has a sale on right now I think.

Have you used anything else besides castrol, if so does it make a difference?


Engine Oil - el_bandido - 07-01-2021

well the first time all my oil leaked out, I filled it up with castrol and it was a lot smoother. It's fully synthetic, but I don't really have anything to compare it to.

I use 5/30 from Opie Oils, it's a fully synthetic called Fuchs Titan Pro I think.
