W.T.K. WHAT'S THE BEST MOTOR OIL FOR NZE

[boogy910]

Tried only a few brands of engine oil in my nze-121 corolla (1NZ-FE) and with all; my oil levels drop before like 4500 - 5000 km. Someone who owned the same model said that NP Ultra is the best, but for some reason I've never had much confidence in that oil. I've tried castrol: edge (syntec blend), full synthetic, gtx and mobil 1 and with all those, the oil level starts to drop after like 4500 kms. My mechanic tells me to try shell helix. Some insight on this matter from fellow tuners is greatly appreciated.

use 10w30, I recommend royal purple or amsoil.How many miles on the engine? I used castrol syntec back in the day and burned that and mobil one. haven't burnt royal purple. Amsoil and Royal purple have about the same detergency, RP has a more robust anti wear package.

If you have high mileage, i would recommend you try valvoline max life high mileage 10w30 semi synthetic.
