Replacing Oil and Oil filter in the Previa, video of it..

Date:

[2017-07-26 Oljebyte, 5W-40 olja W5 Lidl olja bra specifikation
Bosch oljefilter med backventil / spärrventil (anti drain valve)]

The Previa has 97980 km on the meter when this is done..

Found this cheap good specification on Lidl. I've written a post about it earlier, you can read it here. Some say it is similar to the Pennasol Super Pace oil.

W5 5w-40 Supertech Engine Oil. 5 liter container.

Good specification, will sure be good in the Previa. According to manual it should be 10w-30 but I think this will be even better. I've put similar oil in my other car, Toyota Starlet and no problems.

Screenshot from dackonline.se They sell the Pennasol Super Pace which according to rumours should be similar to the W5 5W-40. It's about the same price.

I decided to use this Bosch oil filter that is suppose to have a anti-drain valve. Made in South Africa. 0986 452 044. P 2044.

I've made a video of the process here when changing oil on the Toyota Previa.

Choosing oilfilter for the Toyota Previa

Time to change the oil in the Previa.. So what did I choose?

I decided to go for a one with anti-drain-valve, also known as non return valve (Backspärrventil / Backventil in Swedish). This keeps the oil in the oilchannels when the Engine is turned off, so there should be more oil availble when restarting the Engine. = Less friction when starting = better.

I decided to go for a "brand" name, Bosch. At least you hope that the Check and Control lines are good.. There were cheaper oil filters available but they were "nonames" so didnt want to gamble. I rather pay a Little extra.

This is what I ordered.. Bosch 0986 452 044, made in South Africa.

Oilfilter: Bosch

Compatible with:
90915YZZJ3 (Toyota filter made in China)
90915YZZD4 (made in Thailand)

This is the one I have chosen.

What kind of oil for your Previa?

"As for the oil.. yes, although it recommends 10W30, it also recommends API type SF or something ridiculously outdated like that... as the engine wear, oil consumption increases, so it maybe necessary to use thicker oil... I now use 0W40 to keep wear and oil consumption under control.... if you prefer to stick to 30 weight, then I recommend 0W30 or 5W30 instead to reduce cold start wear... no, it's not going to cause any problems" - TheMAN
