Recommendations On Engine Oil Weight 80 Series

[2KCruiser]

I only use LiquiMoly on everything I own. I'm actually a stocking dealer for them. Been using for the last decade. My clients that compete in track events racing Porsche and high end turbo cars say they can actually see the difference in oil temperature which drop at same track conditions when using it.

So then technically I can put the same oil I use in my old merc 300sd in the 80. Or would you recommend another liqui moly?

They have a 5w30 and 5w40. Either will work. I've used both the Molygen and Special Tec or for higher mileage High-Tech will work great.

I’m planning to use shell rotella T5 10W-30 oil in my 1994 Landcruiser 80 series 1FZ. What oil filter do I need?

The correct Toyota filter currently is the 90915-40002 but there are others that will fit/work, order from any Toyota dealer.

After that is personal choice with one warning, never use a cheapo/generic/quickie lube shop filter, IMO if you don't use the Toyota filter then stick with a top shelf full synthetic media extended drain interval oil filter. This is one area you don't want to try to save a few dollars by buying a poorly made oil filter.

Everyone has their own favorites for an aftermarket oil filter, here's one example:

Mobil 1 Extended Performance oil filter M1-301A, essentially same size/volume and bypass valve PSI compared to the original Toyota filter but the Mobil 1 filter removes smaller particles by a bit more than the Toyota filter will. More important is that you want a quality filter that will not fail or come apart internally, if that happens and the oil passageways get plugged you can ruin your engine very quickly (in a few minutes/miles).

For air filter and fuel filter stick with Toyota parts

Appreciate this, thank you. Would the standard OEM 90915-yzzd3 work with this oil type?

yes, do not overthink it or you will go crazy.

as long as the oil is within spec for your region then you are fine. My thoughts are that once you decide on your oil of choice stay with it as its switching brands & types that is the real problem in the long run.
