Hi all,

Just wondering what oil and grade other IS200 manual drivers use and how often or how many miles later do you change the oil. Cheers

So is 10w-40 ok. Its Eneos (over 75% of japan use this oil). I tried 5-30 and thought it was a bit too thin. I may try 5-40. Your thoughts would be much appreciated.

I use Valvoline SynPower 5w-40. Every 10 000km with filter changed of course.

Magnatec 10-40, changed every 10,000 miles.

I have used 10-40 for the past 60,000 miles, seems spot on
