Jordancavs Posted Monday at 04:57 PM Posted Monday at 04:57 PM 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 Monday at 07:30 PM Posted Monday at 07:30 PM 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 Monday at 10:46 PM Posted Monday at 10:46 PM 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.
