2016 Toyota Fortuner

torx can be pried with flat screw drivers. use torx security bolts, there is a pin in the middle to prevent flat screw driver use.

Ay oo nga sir

Merong malapit sa amin na Total Lubricants which offers low priced engine oils since they have some oils in drums which may be sold per liter. I intend to have a change oil soon for my 2016 Fortuner Diesel. Sa manual ang recommended viscosity is 5W30, which is fully synthetic. Now, they are offering me in Total Lubricants the mineral oil with 15W40 viscosity which costs only P190/liter but I have to do change oil every 5,000km as well as change the oil filter. Since I really intend to have my PMS every 5,000km and not the 10k for the fully synthetic which casa recommends, I am inclined to use the mineral oil with 15W40 viscosity from Total which costs only 190/L.

Here is what Total offers me: RUBIA TIR 7400 15W40 with the following specs:

MINERAL OIL
High Performance Diesel Engine Oil

Suitable for modern engines including those with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system
Adapted to the most severe driving conditions
Provides excellent viscosity stability and effective engine protection
Provides effective control of soot, sludge and piston deposits

SPECIFICATIONS
API CI-4/CH-4/SL
ACEA E7

Here is the link: Rubia TIR 74 15W4v | Total in the Philippines

Should I go for this?

this would have been better..with free air and ac filter cleaning and stronger oil.

Not exactly coz you need to add 760 pesos on top of 2,600 pesos since you will need almost 8 liters of oil.. plus its not "toyota" oil.. hehe

Although mura na din yung toyota oils in black container which is repacked caltex oil.

Pwede din naman talaga yung 15W40.. nasa manual yung temp range na gagamitan nyan.. pasok naman tayo sa pinas

Sir yung bolt na ginamit ng casa is just yung ordinary bolt? hindi ba sya madaling tangalin sa mga may malilikot na kamay?...hehehe I just want some security thats all...

Hahaha sorry sir, di ko napansin, check ko pag uwi ko ng pinas next week, may nakita akong acrylic plate protector, I might get one para di masira ang plaka and sabay na change ng bolts if ever ordinary lang.

Has anyone used MITASU ULTRA DIESEL CI-4 5W-40 100% Synthetic? I saw it at Blade for P1899.00 per 4 liters. Is this a good synthetic oil?

here is the link for its complete description: MJ-212. MITASU ULTRA DIESEL CI-4 5W-4 1% Synthetic - MITASU OIL CORPORATION, JAPAN

The manual for our vehicle (Fortuner) recommends 5W30 Fully Synthetic with the following Oil Grade: API CF-4, CF or ACEA B1

On the other hand, the MITASU is 5W40 Fully Synthetic with the following Oil Grade: API CI-4/CH-4/СG-4/CF ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4, E7

Should I go for the MITASU?

I read somewhere that Mitasu is Russian with base oil from Singapore.

I stopped using this oil after finding out they are not listed as licensed for Dexos 1/2 but they are advertising as Dexos certified.

After doing some scouting here in Cebu and doing the math, it appears that the cheapest available option for me is the Total QUARTZ DIESEL 9000 5W30 API CI-4 [Fully Synthetic], which costs P 4,114.80 per 6 liters and additional P 708.00 for 1 liter, plus P 200 oil filter. Total cost nya is P 5,022.80. I intend to follow the casa style of using that Fully Synthetic for 10,000 km PMS with an in-between 5,000 km PMS na change oil filter and 1 Liter top-up, which costs around P 908.00.

Cebu traffic is not as worse in Manila and yung daily route ko is merely bahay-school (sa mga bata)-office-the school-bahay.... So siguro the 10,000 km PMS with the fully synthetic oil with a 5,000km PMS interval is ok na siguro... That is also what casa recommends.

Here is the link of the Total QUARTZ DIESEL 9000 5W30 API CI-4 [Fully Synthetic]:
