Hey guys,
What oil do you guys recommend for your 1JZGTE VVTI?
Brand and grade
1JZGTE VVTI - Oil Brand and Grade
Re: 1JZGTE VVTI - Oil Brand and Grade
I used Castrol Edge 5w30 since 90,000kms. Now at 125,000kms and have switched to Penrite HPR5 (5w40) as the engine is a little older, plus I wanted to use the same oil across all of my cars, but mainly because Castrol kept cranking the price up on the Edge stuff (retail was about $50 for 5 litres in 2010, now about $85).
I change the oil and filter every 5,000kms, with negligible oil usage between changes.

I have also used castrol edge 5w30 for the last 50,000km
Changed oil and filter every 5,000km
Looking to change to a 10w40 next time round

I use whatever is on special as long as it's from a reputable brand.
In the last 6 months i've used:
Valvoline VR-1 - 10W-30 (3000km)
Motul 300v - 10W-40 (3000km)
This weekends oil change will be
Penrite HPR 10 - 10W-50
None have given me problems at all. Motul 300v smells like delicious

Re: 1JZGTE VVTI - Oil Brand and Grade
i was going to ask what people thought of castrol edge
im a castrol agent and get all that stuff cheap, but doing independent oil tests on some castrol oils ( agricultural and heavy diesel oils ) i am rather dubious of putting it in my 1j, trans and hydraulic miss haps are always high, i know different grade oil etc but it tends to put you off
thoughts would be nice
at the moment im using Total Quartz 7000 which is a good hard wearing oil and never had any issues with it
doing a oil test is well worth the money, you will be surprised at some brands at how fast they break down

I have had a good run with Castrol edge
No metallic sheen
Nice and clean
No burning smell
Haven't sent away a sample though
Did consider running John Deere +50 though haha now that's some good oil

I don't have a vvti but I've used Valvoline VR-1 the last 3-4 changes in both my cars and it's always come out reasonably nice and clean looking. As opposed to Castrol GTX which I used to run all the time, cheap but it always came out black.

valvoline engine armour 10w-30
34 bucks for 6 litres from k-mart.
used to run castrol edge, but thats 90 bucks for 5L, which is incredibly retarded.

Re: 1JZGTE VVTI - Oil Brand and Grade
Just bringing this old thread back, my 1jz gte vvti has done 108,000kms.
in terms of viscosity, what do you guys recommend, 10w30 or 10w40?
i am leaning towards 10w40 just because the engine is getting older now, but any thoughts are most welcome.

Re: 1JZGTE VVTI - Oil Brand and Grade
108,000 kms for a vvti 1jz is nothing. As long as you service it and maintain it properly, it should last you well beyond 200,000 kmsxMRWHIPPIEx wrote:Just bringing this old thread back, my 1jz gte vvti has done 108,000kms.
