Oil question from The Netherlands! What kind of oil for Supercharger.

[De Knip]

Hi,

I'm D. From the Netherlands with the following question.
I have a 4agze engine. (Latest model ae101 type).
Here in the netherlands this engine is never sold.
Now i must fill the Super Charger oil. Toyota can't help me with the
visco type of the oil like 5w40 or what? nor sell me the original oil.

Can you please tell me what kind of oil i must use?


Sorry for the bad english.

I bet it gets pretty damn cold there!!! I would go with 5w-30 synthetic. you should be fine with that during the winter and maybe 10w-40 in the summer. some of the canadian guys have to deal with those issues. u might want to see what they have to say. but I'm pretty sure you'll be fine with the 5w-30 syntec ..

the av. temps here are summer 25-30 degr celcius and in the winter 0 to -10 degr celcius. so i read on a japanese site 5 w 40 full synthetic for the supercharger to lube. change once a year.

what do you all think?
