Jordancavs Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Hey guys I have a 2005 alphard hybrid. I am just needing to change the oil for the first time and just curious about what filter and oil. Thanks!
Charlie Brown Posted June 23 Posted June 23 The handbook calls for an API SL, or ISLAC GF-3. These days these specifications are at API SP and ISLAC GF-6. So any good quality engine oil will do the job. Also, the viscosity needs to be considered. Here, the handbook calls for anything from an SAE 5W-20 to an SAE 10W-30, depending on ambient temperature. Personally, I use an SAE 5W-30.
PaulE Posted June 23 Posted June 23 My Hybrid 2005 has a Japanese sticker by the oil filler advising 0w20. I use Toyota's own from local Toyota spares dept. but you can buy on ebay. If you buy the oil filter don't forget to get the sump plug O ring.
