What engine oil do I need for a Toyota iQ?

To determine the engine oil needed for a Toyota iQ, you can refer to the owner’s manual of your vehicle. The specific engine oil quality, viscosity, and other specifications will be listed in the Maintenance section of the manual. If you can’t find the information in the owner’s manual, it is generally recommended to use synthetic oil for better performance and protection.
The approved viscosity grades of motor oil for the Toyota iQ include SAE 5W-30, SAE 5W-40, SAE 10W-40, SAE 0W-30, SAE 15W-40, SAE 10W-60, SAE 5W-50, SAE 0W-40, SAE 5W-20, SAE 0W-20, SAE 15W-50, SAE 10W-30, SAE 20W-50, and SAE 0W-16. It is important to choose oils from well-known brands for better results.
Please note that it is not recommended to switch directly from mineral oil to synthetic oil in older cars, as synthetic oil can dissolve dirt and potentially cause blockages in the oil filter and lubrication channels. In such cases, it is advisable to first use a semi-synthetic oil and observe the results.
Remember to consult the owner’s manual or seek professional advice for specific recommendations based on your Toyota iQ’s engine specifications and year of manufacture.
