You know caltex and toyota coolant is not made for all cars, some car's should be fed the green coolant. Here's food for thought for you guys to understand how important the color difference is.

I think 5w40 grade is best oil as I m using one in my Prius 2008 140k driven n mashallah I m getting still 21 average. So go for 5w40 fully synthetic. I m using kixx pao 5w40

[zulayed]

do not use 5w20 for corolla. use 5w30 oil as recommended by the manual like total quartz 9000. or for best fuel economy, use zic 0w30 or kixx 0w30. 5w40 should be your third choice. the oils i mentioned can be used for 7 to 8k kms.

the recommended oil for prius i believe is 0w20. change to zic 5w20 which is next best alternative as 0w20 is hard to find.

Recommended oil for 2008 is 5w30 but as I drive mostly on hilly terrain n under loads so I found 5w40 the best choice. I have used 5w30 as well but 5w40 is best oil in my opinion

Toyota has recommended 5w-30 as per manual but toyota showrooms pour 20w-50.

As i was reading on zic website, they recommends zic A+(5w-20) for toyota under 20000 km and after that zic A (0w-30).

According to zic website; Zic A+ (now zic X7 ( 5w-20) ) is to be used where SAE 5w-30 and 5w-20 is recommended by the manufacturer.

Please give your feedback.

Forget about 20w50. thats the worst oil for ur car. only refer to the manual as toyota knows whats best for ur vehicle. as u have just mentioned Zic a+ can be used where SAE 5w-30 and 5w-20 both are recommended. however, toyota hasn't mentioned 5w20 so ur best option is 5w30 or 0w30. believe me I've done a lot of research on this. i myself own a corolla and have found 5w30 fully synthetic to be excellent. shell 5w30 is semi synthetic so i won't recommend that. rest is your choice.

yes much better then the blue one HX7, ultra is all season oil and does very good job fully synthetic oil. Drain interval would be around 6-7k but if you plan to take it for such mileage then use toyota oem oil filter not local one as local filters give up aftr 4k kms.

i am using total 9000 5w30. u can use zic as 0w30 will work well. shell hx7 5w30 is semi synthetic so don't use that. shell ultra 5w40 is a great oil but zic 0w30 will give u better milage than that.
