Use a 40 body oil... 5W40, 10W40 or 15W40.
Monitor for oil consumption and oil contamination.
If you have oil consumption, change the PCV valve. If oil consumption continues, you are losing oil through either the valve seals or the piston ring. Both involve some cash flow to rectify.
By oil contamination, I refer to the sludge buildup in the engine... Lots of guys love to use 20W50, the best sludge making oil on the market, regardless of brand. Monitor the colour of the oil for carbon buildup. If it turns dark quickly, change the oil. The 40 body oil will clean up the mess left by 20W50, if this is want was previously used.

Avoid engine flushes as these are harsh chemicals which may lead to engine failure if incorrectly used.

If you did use 20W50 for an extended period, I recommend either Valvoline or Delo 15W40 and a Luberfiner filter. Monitor as explained above and replace the oil as required.

whats the reason?

I bought my NZE with ah Fram. As i turned it to slacken, the filter eh make ah good spin & it came off. I used so far the orginal/Purolator/Bosch/Sakura and they all screwed up all the way up, with ah good few turns.
Plus I did find a link online with a filter test where the cut the filters open to see how it was made up and Fram was the worst with cardboard holding the filter element in place as opposed to metal as all the others.
I guess all Fram spend their money on design on the outside for grip and I doh know Y peopel in T&T go put they head on ah block for Fram. Any where u go they want 2 sell u Fram.

yep dey always push fram in yuh face..and i did saw the read up with their card board holding

the luberfiner real good...............i using it a while now
big the filter more filtration taking place them hand held turning fram jus good cuz u aint have to get a filter wrench to get him out ??

Go and buy the original toyota oil filter, the Part # is 90915-10003. If you have the get another brand, buy the BOSCH OT 041. 3rd place will go to Purolator and I would not recommend FRAM. Any engine oil brand is good except NP (IMO) once you change it every 4000-4800 kms. Also remember to get the original denso K16R-U11 plugs and original toyota air filter. Original parts give you better performance and your engine lasts longer.
