Is this oil ok for my Toyota Avensis?

Hi

I have a 2011 Toyota Avensis diesel. Would SAE 5W-30 synthetic oil be ok for it?

Hi Darren,

We checked this with Toyota Ireland. Here's the response:

"The 2011 Avensis D-4D has a DPF. C2 is a low ash oil - it must be used with the DPF. Any Toyota Dealer Parts dept. can supply this oil. Once it's a C2 grade it is fine."
