For normal engine operation internal combustion any vehicle required lubricant- engine oil. The performance of both the engine individually and the entire vehicle as a whole depends on the type of oil selected and used. Some automobile concerns recommend motor Toyota oil 5W40. This lubricant is a universal all-season product. Has high performance properties that extend the service life of the vehicle power unit. It has unique protection parameters that preserve the engine's operating capabilities throughout its entire service life.

Manufacturer - not Toyota

Many car owners do not think about who the manufacturer is of this oil, believing that it is himself Toyota concern engaged in the production of lubricants. Absolutely wrong opinion! Toyota 5W40 brand oil is not produced by the company itself, but by its commercial partner. It became the largest American public oil company, ExxonMobil, formed as a result of the merger of two companies of the same name in 1999, on November 30.

This type of business is often practiced in the world when, instead of the automaker, products under its brand are produced by third-party companies that have entered into certain agreements with each other.

ExxonMobil itself is a major player in the oil production and refining market and has long established itself with best side. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about the quality of the products.

Toyota 5W40 oil (5L and other volumes) has gained great popularity among car enthusiasts thanks to ExxonMobil’s experience in working with similar products. Toyota itself has never been involved in the production of such goods from the category of fuels and lubricants, and, judging logically, it trusted the professionals. It was a good move on our part Japanese manufacturer, which justified itself 100%.

Toyota oil for everyone

Contrary to erroneous opinions, the oil is not only intended for Toyota cars. Thanks to its unique structural properties, the lubricant is suitable for any other vehicle. Numerous tests and laboratory studies have been conducted to support this claim.

The only limitation may be a discrepancy between the oil parameters and the requirements of the vehicle itself and the equipped power unit. When all the parameters agree on the technical characteristics, you can, without hesitation, use Toyota 5W40 oil for own engine. This is officially confirmed by such automotive giants as the BMW concern, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz. Respectively, Japanese competing companies(for example, Nissan or Honda) will not advertise their business opponents, so there are no official recommendations from them.

American-made Japanese oil is intended for use in passenger cars, crossovers and off-road vehicles.

According to reviews from many car owners this lubricant Excellent for both cars with a new engine and engines with significant mileage.

Technical data

Unique specifications Toyota 5W40 oils allowed this product Japanese brand take a leading position among peers in the world automotive market fuels and lubricants.

This oil is a synthetic product. From the viscosity marking it is clear that the lubricant is used at any time of the season and has a wide temperature range of use. Lubricant increases the level of safety of the operation of the power unit, makes it possible to operate vehicle in different weather conditions, effectively resists oxidation processes, and also prevents the formation of soot and negative deposits, and cleans the engine of slag formations.

Technical Toyota 5W40 have:

stable viscosity and lubrication parameters;
stable consistency structure at any power load;
maximum penetration at sub-zero temperatures;
high-quality lubricating oil film over all surfaces of internal combustion engine parts and components;
class according to ACEA requirements: A3, B3, B4;
API class: SL/CF;
Class SAE viscosity 5W40.

Classification by API indicators characterizes the oil as suitable for almost all types modern engines, which put forward high demands on lubricant quality. The viscosity grade indicates that the structural integrity of the oil will be maintained in winter down to -30 °C.

Operating conditions

Toyota 5W40 oil has passed many tests, which were carried out under conditions as close as possible to real ones. Tests were carried out in extreme heat and cold at high load capacities. The lubricant has passed all tests and has proven its quality as an oil with parameters for extreme use. Naturally, the oil product can cope with normal loads without special labor.

The oil will qualitatively protect an engine operating in city, highway or mixed mode. At temperatures from -30 to +40 °C, the oil product will not lose its molecular structural feature, allowing the liquid to penetrate into all the gaps of the moving components of the motor, thereby providing reliable protection.

To maintain the normal operating condition of an internal combustion engine, it is necessary to periodically change the oil, draining the old, used oil and filling in a new, fresh one, but always with the same classification parameters.

Packaging and article number

Each original product is assigned its own unique code - article number. When purchasing a Toyota 5W40 5L engine oil, the article number will correspond to the numbers 0888080375. This purchasing method is the most regulated when searching for real branded oil from a Japanese automaker.

Available in three types of containers: 1 l, 5 l and 208 l. The first two containers are aimed at retail sales, and the last one is for wholesale buyers (car repair shops, car centers) who provide replacement services automotive fluids. Containers can be either metal or plastic. Plastic containers are often counterfeited, which encourages the car owner to be more attentive to the process of purchasing liquid.

Toyota engine oil: what to lubricate your dream engine with?

After reading this article, you will get a fairly complete and sufficient idea for the average car user about the line of original motor oils intended for use in Toyota cars. Given the main theme of this story, we will not touch on abstruse and useless oil characteristics, such as tolerances. And this is no coincidence. I am not one of the supporters of strict separation of oils of the same type according to tolerances, due to the prevailing subjective opinion that all modern quality oils take due account of the operating features of gasoline and diesel engines(unless the regulations for each specific case provide for a strict division into diesel or gasoline engines), I must admit that we, Drivers, must have some understanding of oil viscosity and the reasons for its existence as a characteristic of engine oil and its optimal use. Depending on the conditions of use of the vehicle and the degree of wear of its components. And this, in my opinion, is all you need and enough to know when using engine lubricants. In some cases, tolerances can also be useful... but only when choosing an alternative to original oils. And, by the way, we will also think about this here.

Another topic that has become very relevant recent years- fake Toyota motor oils or, simply put, counterfeit. I admit, we have seen a lot in this area over the past 2 years - we have seen the emergence of the counterfeit era, its peak and... and the lack of prospects for the end of this era! Sounds like a sentence? Fatalism? In no case! This is a bare fact from which we, motorists, must draw some conclusions for ourselves. However, first things first.

So, let's start with diferambs... With a clear conscience, in this article I want to express my own opinion, confirmed over the years and by people, that Toyota oil is one of the best original oils, sold on our market. In order to give you, the readers, at least some confirmation that this opinion is sincere, I will inform you that I drive a Chrysler car, a purebred American. And, despite all the appearance of bewilderment on many people’s faces, I have continued to use Toyota motor oils for many years and kilometers - 0w30 in the cold season, and 5w40 in the summer. By the way, the choice of viscosity is also not accidental. But more on this a little later, or maybe within the framework of the next topic - what to put in a Toyota Corolla or what to put in a Toyota Camry, or in general, what kind of oil to put in a Toyota. Most likely this will be the case - we will separate this into a separate article so as not to clutter up this article devoted to the types and characteristics of Toyota motor oils that lubricate our engine market.

Well, after such a long introduction-announcement, let's get down to the main topic of the story. First of all, let's start with the container. To the market Russian Federation Toyota motor oils are supplied exclusively in plastic canisters with a capacity of 1 l, 5 l, and metal barrels for the needs of service companies and large car owners servicing fleets of several dozen cars. There are exceptions in the packaging only in minor nomenclature items, quite expensive ones, related to transmissions and differentials and power steering fluids. But we will talk about them later, in subsequent articles. Any other oil offered to you in tin cans or plastic bags with holes - dangerous area! There is an opinion that tin cans are too expensive to produce, and therefore such oils are not counterfeited... well, what can you say, people who say that simply have no idea what miracles the alchemical wizards work in China in industrial cluster cities! No, of course, it is worth agreeing that the risk of buying a tin can with a fake is somewhat, or even significantly lower than in a plastic one... but nevertheless, the risk remains realistic! You can say that it is smaller, but you can’t say that it doesn’t exist at all!

Countries of production - everything officially supplied to Russia oil is coming from the EU. There are 2 main producing countries in the EU for Toyota motor oils - Belgium and France. Someone might immediately say: “oh well! What about Germany?!” Oh yes, Germany really is major supplier oils throughout the EU and even the world. But, this is true for Shell/Castrol group oils, but not for the production of oil for the Japanese car range. So let’s focus on France and Belgium in the interests of the product group under consideration - Toyota motor oils.

Well, let's proceed directly to the oils officially offered for sale in the Russian Federation. In order not to bother people with a lack of time and lack of desire to reach the end, we will start with the top list of the list and work our way down based on popularity.

Oil motor toyota 5w40 . The undisputed, undisputed leader in the Toyota motor oil market. Excellent, otherwise we can say that best ratio price/quality in the product line of lubricants for modern engines. It was supplied to our market in the following containers and with the following original numbers: , Toyota engine oil in plastic canister 5 liters. Until about mid-2015, this same oil came under the original number without the GO prefix at the end. According to unconfirmed reports, but repeatedly mentioned by various persons associated with official dealers, the prefix appeared when the title of the main plant in the EU, in terms of production volumes, moved from Belgium to France. What does this information give us today? The fact is that if you are offered an oil with a number without GO at the end, then this is one of two things - a counterfeit, which is the most likely case, or an oil that has been in a warehouse for more than a year... The first is sad, the second... although not fatal, but still it’s like slightly stale bread - you can eat it, but it’s still not fresh anymore...

Younger brother Toyota oils 5w40- these are liter canisters, no less common and no less popular! Modern number of Toyota 5w40 engine oil in liter cans or. Old oil numbers accordinglyor . The story about the GO prefix and the cases of its absence were outlined a little higher, so we will not focus more attention on this. I'd like to note interesting fact- at one time, when I realized that the market was overcrowded fake oil Toyota, my first reaction was to buy only liter cans of oil, because... the chance of receiving a counterfeit product here is as low as in the case of purchasing one in tin can. And many of my colleagues did the same. I’ll tell you why a little later, in the second article on counterfeit oil.

The final link for this oil is Toyota oil in an industrial metal barrel - 208 liters. Original number such oil or. Unfortunately, due to the perfect match of the barrel format different manufacturers and the differences are only in the stickers and the color of the coating on the outer surface of the barrel, this type of container for Toyota motor oil also falls into the risk zone of counterfeit. Yes, such barrels were counterfeited and restored (they took barrels from dealers and filled them with cheaper oils for further resale). Fortunately, personally, due to the specifics of this product item, our turnover was insignificant - literally 4-5 barrels per month; this item did not have any particular negative significance for the business. It’s interesting that “physicists” also took this type of container from us! We were often interested in joking phrases like “will anything crack from such volumes,” but in 2 cases out of three we heard about the installation of barrels in garage cooperatives for 5-10 cars in a pool... Directly collective purchases, what can you say! But, of course, I was glad that even though we didn’t make much money from such sales, people even in worst years they trusted us and bought oils without fear of pouring tar into the engine. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them once again for their trust, because... many of them are still with us and read my writings.

The second most popular Toyota oil is a product with a viscosity of 0w30. IN modern conditions, this is one of the most successful oils in its galaxy with a similar viscosity. If you look at the market for this oil characteristic, you will notice interesting detail- almost complete absence of competition on price. No matter what brand you look at, oils with a viscosity of 0w30 cost the same amount of money or even more. This is primarily due to two factors. Firstly, the features of the production process. I believe that many have seen or heard out of the corner of their ears that there are actually only 2-3 pure synthetics on the market. The rest, although proudly called synthetics, is still a mixture of mineral and synthetic bases. In fact, there is a division of oils in the industry: conventionally, synthetics include oils with a ratio of mineral and synthetic bases of less than 2 to 5. That is, everything that is less than 30% consists of mineral base recognized for purposes of use as synthetics. I would like to immediately make a reservation that these ratios are conditional to demonstrate the essence of the division.

But let's get back to Toyota engine oil 0w30. The origin of the oil, or country of production, coincides exactly with 5 w 40. Original oil number, currently in circulation . We've already heard about the prefix somewhere, let's not repeat it. Old oil number and no GO. The container of this type of oil is exactly the same as that of 5w40. Canisters of 5 liters (), 1 liter - and 208 liters in an industrial barrel (). What can you say about the consumer characteristics of this oil? More than acceptable! Provided that you don't run into a fake, of course. I would like to say that there are quite a lot of tests and comparisons of oils on the Internet - it is not difficult for anyone who is curious to find them. They froze them, set them on fire, sniffed them, held them up to the light... well, in general, they didn’t do anything! But the opinion still remained positive about the oil, and this cannot but please me personally, as a repeat offender. As I said earlier, I use this type of oil in the cold winter and 5w40 in the warm season.

Well, the last 2 types of oil, about which not much is known for certain. Moreover, my personal meeting with them was accidental - receiving documents for purchased consumables in one of official dealers Toyota, I saw on the display in the sales area 2 types of oil that were new to me. The situation was comical for me because shortly before this I personally convinced my client that such an oil does not exist, and everyone uses 5w40 oil. The client claimed that they were pouring water into his car... 5 w thirty! Is the customer always right?

So, we present to your attention Toyota motor oil 5w30!!! The country of origin coincides with the main two types of oil described above as well as “container” habits. Oil is supplied to us in plastic jars of 5 liters (), 1 liter () and... that's it! There are no 200 liter barrels even on Toyota CS today. Please note that the numbers of this oil do not have the GO prefix. Apparently, due to the unique purpose of this oil, it is still produced at the Toyota base plant in Belgium. But so far we have not received any confirming or refuting data. A little higher, I mentioned the term “uniqueness” in relation to this oil. What is its essence? Let's shed some light on this issue too! Firstly, this oil is intended for use in vehicles with particulate filters, which brings us to the thought of... diesel engines and the background of this oil as a response to the challenges of the European Commission with its environmental directives - You provide clean air through maximum exhaust purification!!! Well, this is probably the reason why this type of product was not supplied and is not yet supplied in 200 liter barrels. Let's be honest, Russia and its residents, both due to the scale of the country and... well, little responsibility for the environment of both the state and each individual driver, do not really think about the cleanliness of the exhaust... and also less people of them are willing to pay more money for motor oil in order to support the very environment. How much does Toyota 5 engine oil cost? w 30 is even a little more expensive than zero, that is, much more expensive than, say, 5 w 40. Oh yes, what's second? This type oil is noticeably different from its main counterparts in the shape of a 5-liter jar. It rather resembles another oil Japanese concern- Nissan. I would say that if you don’t pick on the color of the plastic, then the canister is essentially one to one. In general, a unique product for our market... will it work, will it take root? Time will tell!

And the last product in our educational program is Toyota 0w20 engine oil! Almost as much is known about this oil as about our previous object. The country of origin, judging by obvious signs, coincides with our first heroes, as confidently indicated by the GO prefix to the numbers. And so, Toyota engine oil 0w20 5 liters =, Toyota engine oil 0w20 1 liter -, and the industrial version of the container is 208 liters with the number. Appearance canisters matches 5w40 and 0 oils w 30, but the label has a different design. It clearly shows the abbreviations for energy saving and hybrid engines. Let's face it, it's also relative the new kind oils on our market, not particularly explored or tried. Why is he interesting? Well, of course, viscosity. If anyone has encountered engines on american cars- GM, Ford, Chrysler... perhaps you paid attention to the oil specification inscription poured on the engine itself. Let me emphasize, not the inscription on the label, but precisely poured onto the surface of the engine - 0w20! I have this on my own American car, I also saw it on a Ford Explorer latest generation. There’s definitely something in this oil, because it’s not without reason that it receives so much attention from automakers. But you need your own practice, but it doesn’t exist yet... and isn’t expected J So, dear readers, if possible, share your observations and feelings from your experience of use. We will be happy to tell the reading public about them.

All that I personally know at the moment is that Toyota 0w20 oil is intended for the most modern engines, for widespread use, primarily in the latest turbocharged cars with modern types electronically controlled injection. What will we learn about him tomorrow?... then we will tell those who are interested.

This concludes the topic here and will return to the discussion of oils in the following epistolary parodies on technical documentation... Let's see below what else you can read.

Interesting

Any automaker is interested in having high-quality technical fluids. Motor oil in the first row of this list:

the car leaves the assembly line with oil in the crankcase;
engine oil is changed regularly;
a poor-quality composition can quickly damage the engine.

Toyota cars are famous for their reliability, but even the most best motor. Therefore, Toyota 5W40 oil has high performance characteristics, and is well protected from counterfeiting.

Interesting fact: automobile concerns do not produce lubricants themselves.

They enter into contracts with large refineries and label these products with their logo. Sometimes knowing the true history of production helps to avoid counterfeit goods.

Who is the manufacturer of Toyota oil?

Despite the obvious geographical proximity South Korea(a lot of branded oils are produced in this country), the Japanese concern has a multi-year contract with the French corporation Exxon Mobil. There is information that Toyota Corporation has its own production capacity for the production of oils.

This is true, but with certain reservations:

the Toyota 5W40 oil bottling plant is nothing more than a branch of that same Exxon Mobil;
oils produced in Japan are intended exclusively for domestic market, and can only get to the mainland in the crankcase of a car manufactured on the islands.

note

If you get your hands on a bottle with the inscription made in Japan, there is a high probability that it will be the original. There is no point in counterfeiting lubricants produced in Japan.

And here oil producer country Toyota Motor Europe, may vary. The fact is that the French concern Exxon Mobil has several geographically dispersed production structures built within the framework of EU cooperation. Therefore, Toyota 5W40 oil can be bottled in Belgium, Italy, Germany and France itself.

The agreement is not limited only to supply volumes. Toyota 5W40 engine oil was developed jointly by engineers of the Japanese automaker and the French oil company.

Toyota Motor Europe lubricants are designed specifically for European market, taking into account typical operating conditions for the continent. Article number 5W40 refers to all-season characteristics, and the tolerances allow the lubricant to be used not only in Japanese cars.

Oil applicability

Domestic consumers are interested in the possibility of using the product in various climatic conditions Russia. There are practically no restrictions: temperature Range from -30°C to +40°C.

The oil is primarily intended for Toyota cars, but it can be poured into any other car intended for the European market. It is not necessary to look for a certificate of conformity from a car brand.

Exxon Mobil products have high classes tolerance:

ACEA: B3, B4, A3
API: CF/SL

In addition, Toyota 5W40 engine oil has certificates from car manufacturers such as BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen. Can be used in both gasoline and diesel four-stroke engines, including turbocharged ones.

Specifications

The oil is produced from a base produced by hydrocracking. In fact, it is synthetic, in accordance with the new SAE labeling rules.

SAE viscosity index = 5W-40
kinematic viscosity according to ASTM method (test temperature 40°C) = 60.5
kinematic viscosity according to ASTM method (test temperature 100°C) = 12
dynamic viscosity (test temperature -30°C) = 6005
absolute viscosity index = 151
Density according to ASTM method (test temperature 20°C) = 858
flash point in open crucible = 217°C
temperature of loss of viscosity properties (solidification) = -31°С
base number = 6
acid value = 1.55%
sulfate ash content is not higher than 0.82%.

Why is this oil counterfeited?

High quality workmanship, and direct connection with Toyota brand, has made this oil a popular product among car enthusiasts. And where there is demand, there is supply of counterfeit goods.

IN best case scenario, cheaper real oil is poured into cans with the logo “Toyota 5W40 engine oil”. It is much worse if the canister contains purified waste, or no motor oil at all.

Considering the jumps in the dollar and euro ( original product tied to currency) branded oil goes into the category of luxury. Drivers are starting to look for replacements.

To be fair, it is worth noting that in “decent” auto supply stores, cases of purchasing counterfeits are rare. Most of the counterfeit goods were purchased at markets and roadside stores.

How to distinguish a fake?

The manufacturer is also concerned about the increased number of counterfeits, which is hurting their reputation. Therefore, the branded product has easily recognizable features.

The original Toyota 5W40 motor oil is produced in containers made of high-quality plastic, which is easily identified by touch. Just take it with you old canister(branded) for comparison.

The label is made with smooth shade transitions and has no signs of rough processing in graphic editors. The text is clear and of the same size (within each block of information).

The cap on all branded canisters has the same color, regardless of the displacement. There is three-dimensional embossing on the top of the lid (on the fake the top is smooth).

And finally main criterion licensed goods - availability of receipt documentation from the seller. No one will hide invoices if the goods were received legally.

Type

The main advantage of mineral oil is considered low price. It thickens quickly in the cold and requires more frequent replacement. "Synthetics" are much more stable than mineral oil at long work engine, as well as at high and low temperatures, but has a higher price. Semi-synthetic oil is a mixture of synthetic and mineral oils. Its characteristics are superior to mineral ones, but at the same time they are cheaper than synthetic ones. When choosing the type of engine oil, you should follow the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer.

synthetic Packaging volume 5 l SAE Viscosity Grade

The first digital viscosity value according to SAE means low temperature viscosity, i.e. the ability of the oil to maintain its properties at low air temperatures. The lower it is, the lower the potential minimum engine starting temperature. Second number in SAE designation- high temperature viscosity. This is a composite indicator characterizing the minimum and maximum viscosity at operating temperatures of 100-150 °C. The larger this number, the higher the viscosity of the oil at high temperatures. You should purchase oil strictly of the viscosity recommended by the car manufacturer.

5W-40 API class

Criteria for separating oils by API classifications steel age and design level of the car engine. For example, API oils SC are designed for engines manufactured from 1964 to 1967; API SG - for engines from 1989 to 1993, API SJ - for engines from 1996. Oils for the latest engines classified as API SN. When selecting oil for this parameter, you should follow the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer. Glossary of terms for the category Motor oils

SL ACEA class

Classification of motor oils by operational properties, developed by the Association European Manufacturers ACEA cars. A/B - motor oils for gasoline engines and diesels passenger cars, vans, minibuses. C - motor oils for gasoline and diesel engines with catalysts. E - motor oils for heavily loaded diesel engines. The number indicates the year the category was introduced. When selecting oil for this parameter, you should follow the recommendations of the car manufacturer.
