My Toyota has a 1NZ-FE engine.
Previously, I have read on here to use A1/B1 or A3/B3 oils in this engine - which was good advice that I followed.
Last month, whilst on autopilot, I trusted the parts store catalogue which recommended a Shell ACEA C3 oil for my vehicle. I think this is for diesels with/without a DPF. (The Shell labelling isn't that clear, and in the past, I used Shell oil which was A1/B1 rated and the labels look almost exactly the same)
Obviously, this isn't correct. Should I do another oil change or wait the 6,000 miles that I normally do?
Should I be trying to flush every last drop out or just a quick drain and refill?
Will this cause long-term damage?
Also, the oil I would be getting says both A1/B1 and A5/B5 on it. I think this is OK for my engine, any opinions on this?
Thanks, as always, looking forward to some good replies.
