IDEMITSU engine oil : new 1 to me ... - Toyota Yaris Forums

looks to be of good quality . http://www.idemitsu-ils.com.sg/index...ist&CateID=113 . They also claim to be used as factory fill oil for many car manufacturers . Wonder if TOYOTA is one of them ?

No, that is Honda's factory fill. It is VERY good oil.

Ours is Nippon. Be aware that Nippon makes ENEOS, which I use, but doesn't have as good of an add-pack as the Toyo 0W20 (but I won't use 0W20).

And I would be willing to bet my Yaris that the oil Idemetsu sells to the public is different than the Honda-spec oil. just like Nippon/Toyo.

FWIW, I would go to a Honda dealer and pick up there oil before I would buy that. If Toyo had full synth 5W30 or 0W30 I would use it. The Toyo branded 0W20 is every bit as good as the Honda spec Idemetsu.

Could these be a true synthetic ? The Technical Data Sheet for the their 5w-30 seems impressive , http://www.idemitsu-ils.com.sg/Uploa...W30%20Fsyn.pdf .
