I'd go with the stock toyota oil filter and a fully synthetic oil, if you can afford it. As for the oil weight, the reccomended 4agze oil should do fine.
hi guys.
i need to get some advise on a service.
i have a turbo 4age motor and need to change the oil and oil filter in it.
what oil and oil filter should i look at getting for this application???? any suggestions???
I'd go with the stock toyota oil filter and a fully synthetic oil, if you can afford it. As for the oil weight, the reccomended 4agze oil should do fine.
I would actually use a thinner fully synthetic oil around 10w-35 or you have the chance of blowing your turbo seals.
As vezza said use the stock filter
u dont need to go that thin and u wont blow turbo seals
If you run a 20w-50 you can
no one said anything about running 20w50 here... 10w40 or 15w40 is fine
serious compitition cars run 5w50 or 10w60
i dont see how u should blow turbo seals with oil.. unless u use Penrite 80 or wateva the heck it is.. but thats pretty much honey

if you want to keep your turbo i wouldnt run any higher then 15w 50-60.. turbo's life is critical with it comes to oil supply and water feed
