Having done an oil change on my 63 plate Aygo with 58,000 miles it sounded much less tappy on acceleration but now it's got a few miles on the oil it has slightly got louder. I used 5W30 and was considering trying 10W40 as I'd read it was better at reducing the tapping under acceleration but think I'll give it a miss now I've seen / heard your results. It only taps when hard pushed and once you ease off the gas it goes quiet again, funny little engines. Will have a look at the MAP and PCV at some point as I'd already seen DAB diy's video on it last week. Many thanks, great stuff as always.

Yea the tapping under load is more than likely piston slap, these engines are known to do it when cold and it’s likely just a characteristic their under square design. I’d definitely go with the 5w30 for our UK climate. I’m actually surprised by how much louder the engine is with the 10w40 when warm, in real life it’s more noticeable than in the video. The oil I took out was only about 2k miles old or so, and was pretty clean on the dipstick but came out really dirty which I’m putting down to the flushes I threw in as they do seem the work well.

My girlfriend has a toyota passo. It’s a japan import and it’s got the 1kr-fe engine. When she used to service it her mechanic used to use 5w30 but I noticed that it burned more quickly. Since my dad is a mechanic he checked and he found an owner’s manual and he recommended that I used 10w40 in it. We did 3 oil changes with 10w40 and the oil isn’t burned as much. Between oil changes I don’t add any oil because it has never reached the low point. I change it every 5000km since we don’t have any freeways where I live and there is a lot of traffic. Gas mileage wasn’t really affected between using 5w30 and 10w40

I generally try to go for 0w30 if it's available. I tried 0w20 once and would never use it again due to increased oil consumption, the engine was quieter with 0w20 but it's hard to get a hold of and burns off about twice as fast as 0w30 (I tried is as my 2012 model service manual specs 0w20). I'd love to try 0w16 as it's supposed to fix the oil burning issues of 0w20 but don't really want to risk it so will probably just stick to 0w30
@StupidBlokeStupidVideos2 жыл бұрын
Yea, some of the later model phase1 cars give 0w20 as the recommended/preferred in the handbook, but there seems to be many options for the 1kr and it seems like as long as it’s got oil in, the engine is happy. A gallon of hypoid 90 “could” stop oil usage 🤷♀️

It’s just usually referred to as the PCV valve, (positive crankcase ventilation valve), and is part of the breather system.

It seems that Toyota introduced 0w20 as the preferred oil option for the Aygo in about 2010 or so, before thar 5w30 was in the manual, but it’s still the same 1kr. I think the 0w20 was introduced for emissions reasons, and it’s probably the cars that have free road tax that take it?
