Keeping It Running: A 60K Service with ENEOS 0W-16 Oil in a 2021 Toyota RAV4
When Robert rolled in with his daily-driven 2021 Toyota RAV4, ENEOS ambassador Faruk Kugay knew they’d be talking about more than just routine maintenance—they’d be diving into the world of 0W-16 oil, how far it’s come, and why it’s the go-to choice for modern engines.
The RAV4 had just hit 60,000 miles, and it was time for a solid check-up: fluid flushes, visual inspections, and, of course, a full oil change using ENEOS 0W-16 oil. As vehicle lifespans continue to stretch—thanks to advancements in engineering and better maintenance habits—it’s crucial to use the right oil for long-term engine protection.
Why ENEOS 0W-16 Oil?
ENEOS 0W-16 oil isn’t just a low viscosity oil—it’s a highly engineered lubricant formulated in direct collaboration with OEMs. Originally introduced in 2009 as a factory fill, 0W-16 oil is now widely used in high-efficiency engines because it delivers two critical benefits: better fuel economy and immediate start-up protection.
Lower viscosity might sound risky to some, but the protection ENEOS provides doesn’t come from the oil’s thickness—it comes from advanced additive technology. ENEOS 0W-16 oil is designed to minimize friction and resistance while maximizing wear protection, especially during cold starts when engines are most vulnerable.
Backed by Factory Design
In the video, Faruk walks through the oil change process and points out that they always pair ENEOS 0W-16 oil with a Toyota factory filter. Why? Because OEM filters are built with pressure relief valves tailored to each engine’s requirements. When your oil and filter work together as a system, you get optimal protection and performance.
Even the simple details matter. A new crush washer on the drain bolt, proper torque specs, and careful handling during the oil change all play a role in keeping a vehicle roadworthy beyond 100K miles.
DIY with a Purpose
There’s something rewarding about doing your own service—getting under the car, seeing what’s going on, and maintaining that connection to your vehicle. As Faruk shared, his dad taught him to care for cars from a young age, and that hands-on
habit stuck with him. It’s more than maintenance—it’s a relationship.
With ENEOS 0W-16 oil in the crankcase, this RAV4 is now set up for thousands more miles of confident daily driving. Whether you’re a DIYer or trusting your local shop, choosing the right oil makes all the difference.
Where to Get It
You can find ENEOS 0W-16 oil through your local NAPA Auto Parts, or request it from your preferred distributor. If you’re doing the work yourself or want to make sure your customers’ engines are protected with the best, ask for ENEOS by name.
