Please I Need An Advice On The Type Of Engine Oil, I Can Use For My Toyota Camry by Jbmega12(op): 4:34pm On Jul 04, 2017
I have been observing that the Total quartz5000 20W50 I use for my Toyota Camry 2003 always short after sometime (within a month and two, it has reduced).
NOTE: 1. my oil is not leaking anywhere
2. The engine has not wear out
Please, I need a professional advice on what oil I can be using or change to.
My trip A is 5728.5
Trip B is 7389.4
Odometer is 195860
And the specification on my engine oil cover in my engine is SAE 5W-30

Visco 2000 will be okay for the car.

After next service, please reset Trip A or B or write down total odometer reading and note the distance it takes to notice significant drop in oil level.
I hate to be a carrier of a bad news, but your engine is already wearing out and the oil is leaking into the combustion chamber and being burnt sir/ma.
Just continue with what you are using for now as oil of lesser viscosity will even reduce faster.

you have already used the wrong oil, just continue to use the wrong one till the engine kaput or

Meet the professionals here and do engine test, checking the valve, seals and engine compression. After the test they will profer 2 solutions

1. Change the damaged engine component, less expensive but repair % is very low/risky
2. Buy a complete tokunbo engine and start using the recommended engine oil. very expensive repair but worth it

Try this rev your car on stand still to 3000 rpm steadily and let someone check for you if their is smoke coming out, and you can also drive and let another person follow you With another vehicle try this and give me a feed back on 08038042709
