Cold starts, puts normally the most strain on the lubrication. Normally there aren't really any such in Thailand.

Another problem is oil sludge, which is oil mixed with water from condensation at low temperatures, also rarely to happen in Thailand.

A third problem is low-friction piston rings, where escaping exhaust gases and fuel can deteriorate the oil, this is valid even in Thailand.

High temperatures will also eventually take it's toll on the engine oil, and that is valid in Thailand.

 

The best recommendation is to use high-end oil quality and change it at 10k km.

Toyo is a vast company so will be able to Buy at very good prices. Then pass it on to us normal peeps. Whatever I'm very pleased with their product. Whether it's made in China don't care. It says Full Syn + Toyota and that's good enough for me.

Hate paying for a just name. Ford use Castrol oil now please tell me that's not up to scratch.  

 

Anyway, it's just a cheap Toyota, who cares what oil you put inside ?! I would use cooking oil if I was driving a toyosh*t !
