Everything you say is correct, I did a lot of research in early stage of owning one back in 2021. Lately I used Redline Oil MTL and MT-LV which is the best for manual transmission. As for the Transfer case I used Driven and same to Rear Differential, on Mutol (LS) is for limited slip for circuit package GR option.
😃 Ich verwende seit dem ich 2500km auf der Uhr habe, Ravenol 5-W30 SP, wird ca alle 2000Km von Toyota gewechselt. Im Getriebe 75-W90 und in den Differenzialen 75-W90 LS beide von Ravenol diese lass ich 1x im Jahr wechseln und kann Adrianos Aussagen bestätigen. Auch die 660 Motul Bremsflüssigkeit verwende ich und wird min. 1x im Jahr gewechselt.

Hey Adriano, I would also like to thank you very much for posting this video! The information you provide is always top notch and it helps VERY much! I have two question to ask though: You said 5W30 and 5W40 is fine, personally you recommend 5W30 (right now I have the same Motul 5W30 in my car as you showed in the video). On what circumstances would you recommend going for a 5W40? Why not straight go for a 5W40? Next question: In a german GR Yaris forum there are mixed reactions about asking the dealerships to fill in other type of oil than 0W20. My dealership says „no problem we are going 5W30 and you keep your engine warranty.“ Other dealerships are saying „we are not going to fill in any other oil than 0W20 or your warranty is voided.“ Do you perhaps have a paper/document from Toyota Europe that perhaps clears up this issue? Thank you very much for your time Adriano!
Hello, thankyou for your reply, I most appreciate it! 5W30 is the best oil for all uses. 0W20 is mostly for emissions and consumption homologation. 5W40 is more rare, only used in some race applications where they have solid cam lifters and they expect to see very high temperatures for prolonged periods! Unfortunately they don’t release official documentation on this, but the answer from Toyota’s motorsport team and my dealer is the same you got. The mechanics are happier with 5W30 for engine protection, as the oil film is more resistant
@@AJClubsportHey Adriano, thank you very much for the clarification! I would like to ask another question that came up in my mind: I know (& you said) that the Torsen LSD in the front works together with the gearbox (they share the same oil as they are 1 circuit). Why do you go for the normal Gear 300 for the front and not for the Gear 300 LS like in the back? I am asking because the LS is especially made for Limited Slip Differentials and the LS can also be used for the Gearbox. Thank you very much in advance!
No problem, my pleasure! Please evaluate a channel membership to support my work! In regards to the gearbox oil question: the Gear 300LS is a very dense oil, and the gearbox would become incredibly slow and stiff, to the point that it would not be nice to operate!
I'm not sure about different viscosity and warranty, that's why I use Toyota's 0w20 SP. Are you sure we are allowed use other than specified viscosity? I do change every 5000km, hope that way I keep engine healthy and local Toyota service happy.
I’m sorry but I disagree on engine oil. “It has been proven that 5w30…” proven by who, doing what? The engine is designed for 0w20, even on hard use. If you change the viscosity you are in fact aging the engine faster as the motor itself has been designed with specific tolerances for that very oil, 0w20. The chief engineer who was responsible for the GR Yaris design claims that. You just have to use a good 0w20, ideally, or if standard just replace the oil often (I agree that the advance fuel economy they have in europe is not the ideal oil but I rather run that than other viscosity, no brainer). Let’s stop saying things that aren’t true. All the iberian cup cars race on Ravenol DFE 0w20 and have had 0 engine failures in two seasons. Those are hard facts. The rest is just…well
Thankyou for sharing your view. In italy, that have undertaken @acmeracing all the development for rally GR’s, including I imagine the Syvecs maps for the Portuguese, they learnt this while experiencing a massive blowby and mega detonation on their main development car. Plus, if you try on your own, you will notice the difference. Of course 0W20 works, and is safe if exchanged very frequently BUT, it protects less than 5W30, that doesn’t come with adverse issues. A bit more listening, a bit less hate…
@@AJClubsport the first adverse issue using 5w30 is that Toyota voids the warranty. On an engine failure situation, one of the first things Toyota does is an oil check in a lab. If the oil is not within 0w20 specifications, they will void the warranty.

Yes, there is sooo much to talk about mate!! The GR Yaris non-circuit version, without Torsen differentials, can benefit from using the Gear 300 (non LS) both in transfer case and rear differential. This is because there are less rotating gears, therefore less heat generated

Sharing more oil knowledge for our GR Yaris'. Ravenol DFE 0W-20 on the G16E engine, used for 10,000 kilometers with a track day included, close to zero degradation as confirmed through an oil lab test. No need to up your viscosity I guess? Link is below. th-cam.com/video/UWRXIYUyprs/w-d-xo.html
Don’t take it badly… You know, it is very tiring to answer all comments like yours, because there isn’t the basic technical understanding beneath to work with. Of course 0W20 oil works, and a good quality one will work better too. Simply put, the protective film of a 5W30 oil is thicker, and this is now accepted by Toyota, after much testing direct and indirect from us tuners, from Lamspeed to ACME, to Toyota Gazoo Italy and many more. A 5W30 will always protect more than a 0W20, especially in an engine like this one that has 3 piston squirters and is known for blow by due to piston ring float.
Could you help me pls. For a new GR Yaris, after how many klm is it required by Toyota to change the engine oils the first time? I can't find info in the manual

It says Toyota genuine oil is used in your Toyota vehicle Toyota recommends the use of Toyota genuine oil. Then says...Another motor oil of matching quality can also be used. And says e ither API snplus or SP.
Your link to Piotr's channel is broken but great video as always!!! 1 thing I'm not sure about is the viscosity of 5w30. surely in non-hot climates its not going to be a good idea? Also if there is no constant track use its a bit too much?
I will do my best to fix the link! The 5W30 is the best overall compromise, as used by the top tuners worldwide and rally teams, I've done all the due diligence. Cheers!
Sans compter l'huile de frein, vous parlez de 2 types huiles original mais toyota en préconise 4 types (moteur 0W-20 SP GF-6A API), (boite a vitesse LV GL-4 75W), (Boite de transfert LT 75W-85 GL-5), (differenciel arrière LX 75W-85 GL-5). Alors je suis confus!
You are right! We decided to step up the oil in the gearbox to the same in transfer, given overheating from the torsen differential, that is why one less!
That car have 10 years waranty Toyota, why it is a problem to run with that 0w20 oil. If people get there engines run bad, and create some issues it its for Toyota to solve it out. Many Modern engines run on tin oil, its a evolution in design of internal parts that get better and better. Bmw M cars with a three liter six cylinder with almost 500hp run on 0w30, so why not a Yaris GR on 0w20.
Because - the Gen 1 car has an issue with piston rings gaps, that when thermically stressed have brought to mega-blow by in various occasions, the most famous is ACME’s development car. - oil pump can limit oil pressure with bypass, but can’t help low oil pressure idling after heavy driving at 0.3bar on 0W20 oil. All the top tuners, and most rally teams are using 5W30 for these reasons, and they change oil with much higher frequency than average road drivers. If you just street your car on Oem settings 0W20 will be fine, but if you are pushing thing in performance (power) and driving, you will want to consider minimum top quality 0W20 or a very good Api SP 5W30
Everything you say is correct, I did a lot of research in early stage of owning one back in 2021.

- the Gen 1 car has an issue with piston rings gaps, that when thermically stressed have brought to mega-blow by in various occasions, the most famous is ACME’s development car.
- oil pump can limit oil pressure with bypass, but can’t help low oil pressure idling after heavy driving at 0.3bar on 0W20 oil.
All the top tuners, and most rally teams are using 5W30 for these reasons, and they change oil with much higher frequency than average road drivers.
If you just street your car on Oem settings 0W20 will be fine, but if you are pushing thing in performance (power) and driving, you will want to consider minimum top quality 0W20 or a very good Api SP 5W30
