Tvoyota Yaris Trend VVT-I - Engine Oil / Brake Fluid - itisme88

Hello,

I have bought a Toyota Yaris Trend VVT-I

Reading the manual it states to use Toyota Genuine Engine Oil.Can anyone tell me the actual grade I can use - 5W-30, 10W-30 and 10W-40??

Also the Brake Fluid - DOT 3 brake fluid?

Thank you :)

Toyota's Preferred oil will be 0W-20 API SM or SN - this is what the car would have been filled with at the factory.

Brake fluid either DOT3 or DOT4

I found Castrol Magnatec 5W-30 C3 Fully Synthetic, says for Toyotas. St the back it states SAE SW-30:API SN/CF; ACEA C3; BMW LOnglife-04

Will this be OK to use ?

ACEA C3 is a diesel oil spec, fully synthetic and low SAPS. That is not to say its not suitable to use in a petrol but you need to check.

Why not simply go to your local Toyota dealer and ask.

If you visit the Castrol website and type your registration number into their oil selector it will tell you which of their products is suitable for your car.
