6G Celicas Forums

i have the american model 2.2 5sfe GT. i know it is marked 5w 30 on the oil cap but in 1997 i do not think 0w 40 was invented. I also used oil additiv with ceramic particles but i do not use it anymore becouse i know castrol uses additives .My car has 85 0000 miles and the only problem that I have with it is when i start my engine-i have to keep my foot on the gas or it is going to stop.I think it must be the idle control valve

in the winter we get down to -20C and during the summer up to +40C.for the past 3 months i could notice a decrease in petrol consumption like 1%-2% and the big difference is that my celica is not burning oil anymore.when i used 5w-30 mobil 1 i used about 1 litre of oil at 5 000 miles.anyway all 5w 30 or 10w 30 are synthetic oils.thank you for your reply guys!!

Hi,
could you tell me what oil do you use for your engines?i use 0w-40 castrol edge now and it works great but should i use something else?
