I see that a lot of you's change the oil yourselves. and I assume that a lot of you's change the air filter yourselves too. So what's the purpose of getting your cars serviced at the dealership?

[vitagen]

warranty? :P also my knowledge of cars isnt that great i can do simple stuff but i think there may be stuff that can be only done by dealers :)

Warranty and the stamp in the book that keeps resale value high

Castrol edge 5-30 is the recommended Castrol oil for our engines and it is $50 for 5L ;)

I'm thinking of using the Mobil next time. I don't like the feel of the Castrol Edge 5-30, it feels too thin and produces more engine feel then the Fuchs 10-30 I was using. If a 5-30 SAE oil is too thin then why use a 0-40 SAE?

Hey guys sorry to bump an old thread

With the castrol edge oil the castrol website recommends 0w-40 for the stivo, but most ppl are using 5w-30.

Whats the best to put in there? on my last service i noticed that 15w-40 was used :(

[MR22ZZ]

The instore guide has 5-30 as the recommended oil for the 2ZZ-GE

[vitagen]

you'll be able to use either the 40 just gives it added protection

im probably going to go up from fuchs super gto 10w-30 to 10w-40

use fuchs ppl!!! its better than castrol edge 5w-30
