Hi,

I am a Ride share car driver. I drive Toyota Corolla 2011. On an average I drive weekly maximum 1100KM to 1200KM. I want to do engine oil change myself. At the moment car done 145000km

Need your suggestions what type of engine oil I should use. I have seen sometimes 5W-30 or 5W-40 are on sale.

Thanks in advanced!

    I find that search werid, especially for spark plugs. It is completely different to manufacturer specs

  10W-30 seems to be the right oil for your car

  Best to look in the owners handbook for what Toyota recommends?

  5w-30, but if you find that you need to top it up too often go with the 5w-40

  Read your car's owner's manual. Different engines require different kinds of oils. Please don't try DIY if you didn't know even this.
