I CHANGE MY OWN OIL IN MY 1991 PREVIA. 5W30 IS WHAT I HAVE USED FOR YEARS. PREVIA JUST PASSED THE 334,000 KM MARK
It doesn't. Your rings must be going, or a blow-by. You're lucky the Previa has a back up oil tank unda the hood :)
i found out that synthetic 5W-50 is an acceptable replacement for the super expensive Toyota supercharger oil
Castrol 5w50 full synthetic
i think the supercharged models use premium
yes it will fit... you can total use it...
Superchargers use a special type of oil that you can get from the dealer. I bought a small oil canister for $50 OMG, so expensive but need it. Hope that helps. I use GM supercharger oil in mine.... it runs about $12 at a GM dealer and comes in a pretty good sized bottle.... I read that it worked, tried it, and have not had any problems....
I personally use 85W-140W gear oil.
Factory said to use 5W30 in the winter time. 10W30 in the summer time.
Would have been built for R12, can be converted to R134a.
You have to know what viscocity to use, check the owners manual if you have one. But with that being said, always use a synthetic oil for a vehicle with higher mileage.

Previa Dist.CapSorry, but you don't. The Toyota Previa has an internalized distributor cap/rotar located under the console on the driver's side. Unless you are a certified Toyota Mechanic, it's basically impossible to change/clean/whatever. Actually... the dist. and cap is under the pass. seat and is mounted on the end of the cyl. head. It is replaceable.XXXXXXXWrong Answer!The Previa's Dist. is under the engine, facing to the rear of the van. The Cap & rotor are replaceable.The dist. is easy to remove if you have enough room to get under the van.Also, the dist. SHAFT oil seal goes out regular on all Previa's. Ck. this1st. as it is the most prevalent oil leak for Previa's.The 2nd most prevalent oil leak for these van's is from the valve cover not reinstalled correctly after removed for any reason. Make sure to use Sealant in the correct spots.See any Haynes repair manuel. (I detest Chiltons repair-no-help manuel.gettocar
