Post your latest oil change

[2007yariz]

I am curious what people use in their Yaris.

I used Toyota Genuine oil for $3.25 a quart and a Toyota oil filter for $6.20.bought it from my local dealer. Through some research, i found that Toyota oil filter is one of the best. What about Toyota Genuine oil? is it decent?

2007 Yaris sedan 32k miles:smile:

[bronsin]

Whatever is on sale. I like Purolator oil filters at Pep Boys cause theyre often on sale for $3-4. I get the ones for a Camry. Theyre longer but otherwise fit. PB often have 5 qts oil and a P filter for $10-12.

[GeneralDon7]

I use Mobil1 5w-20 with a Mobil1 filter, every 7500 miles. Improved both my mpg, and engine vibrations after I switched to this.

[HTM Yaris]

I'm 1000 miles away from another 10,000 mile oil change .

Amsoil 5W-30 and Toyota filters .

Amsoil $5 a Quart and Sparks Toyota has 10 filters for $ 30

[UTVitz]

Toyota filter 5-6$ and they usually throw in the drain plug washer. RedLine full synthetic $9.99/qt. x3 if I still have half a qt. left over from the last change. My car takes exactly 3.5 qt. to read pefectly full after filter change and being run for a few minutes. Overkill I'm sure, but I'm just curious to see what if any the effects are of running this fancy motor oil. So far MPG are always in the 40's and engine purrs like a kitten-very smooth.

[Billiam]

I use Castrol GTX and a Purolator PureOne filter at 3k intervals. I've used this combo for years with no issues.

[custom Lftback]

Amsoil 10w-30 with Bosch filter. every 7,500 miles. just changed it last weekend

[brg88tx]

i go mobile 1 5w30 every 10,000 miles, no problems.

[YarisSedan]

I used Amsoil 5w30 every 5k miles I pay about 10 dollars a quart and a K&N performance oil filter which is around 10ish as well.

[jmjonesey]

Dealership gave me free oil changes for 80,000 miles, so I just use what they put in it...which seems to be Toyota Brand something or other strained straight from the waters of the Gulf

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Dang, Jason, you're throwing money down the drain (assuming that's the 25k/1 year Amsoil).



As for me, I use 0w-20 Amsoil and Napa Gold (made by WIX) oil filter. Coming up on my yearly change. hahaha.

[OtownYaris]

Mobil 1 AFE 0W-30 ($21 for 5 qt jug at wally world) and $8 Fram Xtended guard filter (the "good" fram) every 5k miles due to lots of stop n go and short trips. Going to do an oil analysis next change to see how much further I can safely take the oil. Engine seems to vibrate less at idle once I stopped going to the dealership (and using their toyota oil) and doing my own oil change with Mobil 1.

[SilverBack]

i go mobile 1 5w30 every 10,000 miles, no problems.

+1, with Mobil 1 filter. Coming up to 5K miles and the oil is still looks a golden brown.

[R2D2]

In my sig.

Cool thread. Many ways to "skin a cat" and it's interesting to read what others use. Strong Mobil 1 and Amsoil showing!

Yeah lol thats what people tell me. I usually just do it kinda whenver i remember. I dont use a sticker. So sometimes is more than 5k.

[talnlnky]

Last week I paid about $25 for a toyota oil filter & 5 qts of mobil1 5w30. In 5,000miles I'll switch out the filter, and go another 5k before doing an oil change... So... total cost for 10,000 miles is around $28.xx

[toad]

pennzoil platinum 5w-30 with mobil1 extended performance filters on both yarises. runs very smooth and has excellent results on bobistheoilguy.com. change both out every 10k miles. last time i purchased i got a deal for $24.99 for 5 quarts and the mobil1 filter!

[Hershey]

SHELL 5w-30 conventional at $2.40 a quart with TOYO ( Denso ) oil filter at $3.50 each for both '08 sedan and 2010 3 door as of recent .

^^ this

I think I paid 27.99 for the 5 quarts and the filter :(

[RedHatch08]

Conventional 5w-20 at a local non-chain quick lube place. I think it was Quaker State.

Car hasn't exploded, so I guess it was OK.

It was low $20's, and I got a FREE car wash coupon with it.

[mryaris]

I use Mobil 1 0W-30 too.....usually with a NAPA gold filter, but I was at Toyota today and decided to get a stock filter. I usually go at least 5000 miles between changes, but have close to 7500 on this one (getting ready to change it this week).

[kac]

Castrol Edge 5w30 with a puralator pureOne filter. ~ 8000 km intervals

[matanfr]

did an "intermediate" oil change on 4200 km in the dealership (only switched my oil and kept the factory oil filter because i wanted the "break-in" oil out of the system).
now my yaris has 7800 km on it.gonna do an earlier (less than 10000km or yearly) schedule in July (less then a year since i bought it),plan to use royal purple 10w30 oil (cost about 12$ for a quart here in Israel!! :eek::eek:) and of course replace the oil filter.

[bitz767]

19.95 oil change from the dealer, toyota filter and oil, for that price, they can do it every time. its not worth my hassle for that price

[1stToyota]

Wolf's Head SD 5w-30 [$3.00 qt, shipped] and Casite filter [$5.00 each, shipped]

[sex]

Any conventional GF-4, SM, Energy Conserving 5w-30 with whatever filter is on sale. I've used two Prolines by purolator and a STP.

I do 80% hwy driving. After the warranty expires, I'll think about extending the OCI with synthetic.

[Wowzers78]

I use castol GTX 10W-30 and Bosch filters, change every 5000 miles, and will continue every 5000 until the oil starts getting nasty, then will bump down to 3000 miles

I've read a lot about the differences cause i work overnight, am stuck at a desk and typcially have gaps of time surpassing 30 mins with nothing to do...probably why I buy too much stuff for my car too. Synthetics can be worthwhile in boosting performance in severe racing conditions, but for daily driving there's not much of a gain. People like the fact that the oil lasts longer, but the additives break down just as fast as in normal oil, so oddly enough people seem to indirectly damage their engines more often with sythetics by using them longer than they should. I had an LT4 corvette I used synthetic oil in and regretted it...also used Amsoil in it and mysteriously found leaks I didn't know I had. Amsoil is definately a superior quality oil when changed regularly will clean your engine like no other...I just don't like it, though people here seem to have no problems with it on the Yarii

Everyone has they're preference, but IMO stick with the basics..that killed a good 5 mins :smile:

[goliath1812]

Last one was Royal Purple 5W-20, with K&N filter - $40 from Advance. Next one will probably be Amsoil 0W-20 with a WIX filter...but I've got about 7000 more miles until I do my next one...

[Kal-El]

I'm surprised so many people run 10,000 intervals. Toyota suggests 5,000.

[STC]

I don't know what use? :iono: Since, I get my service at the Toyota Dealership, probably then... 5W-30 Toyota Genuine oil and Toyota oil filter?

My car is 6 months old today with around 5,100 miles. I had my first change at 3,000 miles (April). My next I will have done in August at 6,000 miles. Then my third will have done at 10,000 miles ODO. Afterwards, each oil change at 5,000 mile intervals with regular Toyo Dino oil and filter.

I may plan to use synthetic oil after 30,000 miles? I dont know? If I do, I will change the oil every 10,000 miles using a 5W-30 pure synthetic product and high mileage filter...

Cheers! :smile:

[yarisitis]

Mobile 1 5w-30 with a K&N oil filter. $23 for the 5 quart jug at Walmart and $15 for the oil filter at AutoZone.

I used the Mobile 1 oil filter previously and I will probably switch back to that since it's $5 cheaper.

[goliath1812]

I'm surprised so many people run 10,000 intervals. Toyota suggests 5,000.

5000 on regular dino oil...you can go farther with synthetic. Amsoil synthetic claims it lasts for upwards of 25000 miles..

[frog13]

One advantage to using synthetic motoroil....all cars sold in the US are running lean,which equals more heat.Better gas mileage,but definitely more heat..synthetic withstands this climate much better than dino.The one thing you won't change....these are still internal combustion engines,you will still have blow-by gas(es)..using dine or synthetic,no matter...change your oil often,and the filter!!!!!........dino or NOT!.Don't let the :evil: get ya...all internal combustion engines aquire contaminates!.

SHELL 5w-30 conventional at $2.40 a quart with TOYO ( Denso ) oil filter at $3.50 each for both '08 sedan and 2010 3 door as of recent .

Wow that is a good deal on the oil filter, where did you buy it?? i paid $6.20 for a Toyota oil filter(Made in Thailand) from the dealer.

[Ryude]

Toyota recently released a press note saying that over the next year they will start to recommend 0w-20 synthetic oil across several models, due to lower emissions and higher efficiency. I wonder if the yaris will be one of them?

I have been using 5w-30, it indicates 5w-30 on the oil cap and recommends 5w-30 on my manual. I don't think everyone needs synthetic oil though, if you drive mostly on the highways, conventional oil should be fine.

[Hershey]

Wow that is a good deal on the oil filter, where did you buy it?? i paid $6.20 for a Toyota oil filter(Made in Thailand) from the dealer. The TOYOTA parts department . Some are cheaper than others . Sometimes they'll match other parts department prices . Can do it over the phone . One time they gave us free washers with the oil filters at $3.50 each . Depends on what kind of day they had or whom waits on you . Good Luck .

[Hershey]

2008 YARIS sedan : 3 qts. and 22 ounces of SHELL conventional and new TOYO oil filter on 7/03 . Decided to pour the used oil from the pan and oil filter into empty 4 quart oil jug . There was little over 3 quarts in it . Figure around 3/4 quart of oil remains in the engine .

[Hershey]

2010 3 door : 3 qts. + 22 ounces SHELL 5w-30 dino and new TOYO oil filter on 7/04 .

[Qmobile]

Mobile 1 full synthetic 5w30 and a genuine Toyota filter. Oh and I get 2 filters for $10

[BailOut]

Mobil1 5W-30 Extended Performance and a K&N Gold oil filter for another 15k mile drain interval. Nothing on the magnetic drain plug.

Also changed the transmission fluid for the 2nd time, again with Redline MT-90. Good for another 50k miles.

[2007yariz]

2010 3 door : 3 qts. + 22 ounces SHELL 5w-30 dino and new TOYO oil filter on 7/04 .

Ahh:eek: i think i saw this post somewhere else, are you a BITOG member?

Ya, I gave up on trying to guess how much I burn/left in the engine from looking at the leftovers. Too much sticks to the pan/filter/funnel/jugs and spills to get anywhere close to accurate.

They can recommend all they want!...my manuel and oil cap states 5w-30 and thats exactly what will go into the little dude!.Sounds as if the illusterious EPA is at it again with their rediculous standards.0w-20,please....more efficient,less emissions:bs::bs::bs:!.Gee,all that crap THEY have been mandating for decades apparently isn't working if we still have "problems".They should be putting regs on Volcanos,their private jets etc,etc,etc,:laughabove::evil::evil::evil:

[goliath1812]

hey, if toyota can recommend 0w-20, i don't see anything wrong with putting it in my yaris. if there's an added benefit for fuel economy and emissions, so be it. that's what i'm going to be using.

[Hershey]

we picked up 4 TOYOTA ( Denso ) oil filters at $3.50 each excluding tax . Didn't give us free washers this time :frown: .

[frog13]

Don't believe everything they print 1812.....it isn't beneficial to your engine.

Washers? i think my oil pan drain plug already has a washer made into it, well since i didn't do the first OC on the car, i don't really know if it came with a washer. Does washers make it seal better?

http://inlinethumb62.webshots.com/43197/2454864880103114259S600x600Q85.jpg

from the picture i provided above, my plug looks like that except without that silver washer...

[Hershey]

yes , there's a washer needed for a better seal and easier removal of the drain plug . There are plastic and paper like washers available . I've been using the pressed paper washers . Can be used a few times .
