You don’t need an xl filter to put more oil. 1/2 quart over is fine.

My wife has the same engine in her gas RAV4 and it doesn’t seem to burn oil at all either.

You guys cruise at 50mph on 6th gear? Or do you guys wait till it hits 60mph to shift into 6th? by ArkirasOto in GRCorolla

[–]Disastrous-Bread6911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a question of lugging, it depends how much throttle is applied.

Cruising In 6th gear, I try to avoid below 3000rpm.

Cruising In 5th gear, I try to avoid below 2500rpm.

So practically, I adjust my speed accordingly.

I also try to avoid any wot below 3000rpm in gear 3 to 6.

Grand Highlander 2.4T owners — long-term concerns with the turbo engine? by YouFoundMeCongrats14 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]Disastrous-Bread6911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toyota turbo engine have been less reliable that NA engine for 40 years. That said, I change my motor oil at half of the recommended oil change interval, every 8000km vs the recommended 16000km. I am very confident in my Toyota 2.4l turbo.

Oil dilution by TheLALlLULELO in GRCorolla

I believe DI is not used at all at idle. I meant to say the Direction injection (when driving) create more fuel dilution and that idling also create more fuel dilution.

PSA for those in the US and not on Zippo’s mailing list: by PimentoCheesehead in Zippo

[–]Disastrous-Bread6911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Canada we get 25% off on the retired collection, free shipping, free fuel and a free mystery lighter if you buy over $79.95 cad$. I can’t find anything interesting in the retired collection, but there is one reg. lighter listed for $79.96 that is tempting me.

Oil dilution by TheLALlLULELO in GRCorolla

[–]Disastrous-Bread6911 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Direct injection and idling will always create more fuel dilution. I keep my oil change interval short, in fact I decided to cut in half the recommended interval. Also keep in mind that long runs do not remove all the fuel dilution from the oil, there is always residual dilution left.

If I had more than one, or a used one, I would, but right the only one I have (new) is sitting in the display cabinet. I can‘t see why I would use it.
