My oil level is getting low and I cant schedule an oil change for a few weeks. Can I just add some oil for now, to keep me safe until the oil change in a few weeks? And if so, what type of oil is best for the tc?

Thanks

 

Yes.

Check your owner's manual for the oil type.

 

nope sorry can't do it.... you can't drive your car till your ready to change the oil!! j/k i kid i kid!!

 

I belive its 5w30 right?

 

5w-20

Just did mine today

 

05-06 = 5w-30
07-09= 5w-20



the reason i know is i have a 06 tc and a 07 tc and thats what the oil cap says.

 

yes

 

Wow...no way...really?

Sorry, just had to look!

 

and as a reminder of the Toyota TSB (tech service bulletin) that updates from 2-06 the "Toyota Recommended oil is 5w-20" for the 2AZ-FE engine. Just to let you know

 

wait... so are you telling me that i need to use 5w-20 on my 06' now?

 

psh, adding oil was pretty much standard operating proceedure every week on my mom's 96 camaro rs.

 

5w-20 is the spec for all toyota vehicles now iirc. If you take your 05-06 in to the delaership to get a change, there's a real good chance that it'll get the 5w-20 instead of the 5w-30 that was the original spec. There was a huge thread somewhere on here about how 5w-20 has less sludging or something like that. I always need to add oil at around the 3500 mile mark after an oil change.

 

Make sure to get dehydrated oil and don't forget to add water. Actually, add the water first. And don't forget to check your blinker fluid. O and you may want to polish your engine internals with some sand in the intake...While you're at it too, get some JDM gas
