TGP oil filter.
5W30/40 or 0W30/40 is something I would use in those engines.

[Mr Ree]

Is it the 2JZGE engine?

0w/5w-30/40

[Lloyd]

Or 10W30 or 10W40 or various other thicknesses. Viscosity isn't everything

[Grrrrrrr!]

Yep, given the OP lives in fielding i'd totally ignore the number before the W, and anything that ends in 30 or 40 wont hurt the engine for daily driver use.

sorry was ment to say 1G engine.

I take it they run a mineral or semi syn from the factory?

Thanks for the replies guys!

The brand is not that important (as long as it is reputable), as how often you replace oil.

I run a 10/40 semi syn quartz total.
Can use a generic Z9 if you plan on longer change intervals, or a tiny one (forget the number) if you don't mind changing it more often and you worry about oil pressure at startup.

But in general, if its black and slippery, it'll do the job.

Isn't that when you change your oil?
If its gold and slippery on the other hand...

bwhaha, true, unless it's a diesel, and then soon as the oil SEEs the engine, I swear it turns black.
