Hi PenreiteOil Engineers,
I own a Toyota LC78 2018 VDJ78, that just run out of 3yr warranty.
I plan to carry out normal maintenance routine myself and would appreciate your advice on the engine oils to be used .
As per Owners' Manual, the oil recommendation is ACEA C2 0w-30 (preferred) or 5w-30. As U are aware there are not many options available for these on the market, for diesel vehicles with PDF and ERG.
I notice that Penrite has :
1. ENVIRO+ C2 0W-30 (FULL SYN.)
2. ENVIRO+ C3 5W-30 (FULL SYN.)
My question is can I safely use the Penrite C3 5w-30 above, instead of the Penrite C2 0w-30 ? as I can see the specs for the Penrite C3 5w-30 does include ACEA C2, ACEA C3.
As we are in Australia, I dont think I will ever drive in sub Zero Celsius temperature, and would prefer to use the Penrite C3 5w-30 .
Or is it imperative that I stick by C2 0w-30 ?
Also is it feasible to interMix 50/50 Penrite C2 and C3 in the same engine, or it has to be exclusive C2 or C3.
Thank your for your time and advice.
Long VU .
