Oils Ain't Oils

Considering doing the oil change on the 1KZ-TE myself, as this way I know exactly what oil is going in...

Will do 15W-40 and give either the Caltex Delo Gold Ultra or Castrol GTX a go as these are at least compliant with grade API CH-4 or better. (Avoiding Shell Helix at this stage and cannot easily get Shell Rimula here...)

My oil consumption so far (230000km) is about a pint every 1250km on average and she goes like new. Hopefully my in-house servicing will pay off...

My wife's Hyundai Exel with 225,000km used to use about a pint per 1,000km too until I got under the bonnet and replaced the leaking front main seal!
