Synthetic oil

[bentjazz]

Hi Yarisworlders,

Just curious, anyone here use synthetic oil in their Yari? If so, what do you think and how often do you change oil?
Thanks.

quality oil (synthetic or conventional) and regular oil changes, and the yaris engine will run a very, very long time.

I use conventional, especially since I have to change oil every 5k while under warranty. I will likely use conventional oil after that, which is what ive done on all my Toyotas, which were still running strong at 200,000+ miles.

I've been using synthetic since day 1. Started with Amsoil, then eventually switched to Mobil 1. Mostly because my Amsoil guy stopped selling it.

'08 Yaris with 97k miles.- no issues. I try and do it every 5k miles, but regularly go to 6. I think on a couple of occasions, I went as long as 8k.

I get my Mobil 1 at Walmart, the 5 qt jug, along with Fram oil filter and a simple "oil change kit" that's like 7$. I spend roughly 40$ for everything.

is synthetic needed? I wouldn't think so. Many are just as fine using their conventional oil.

I use synthetic to get extended oil changes. I go 10k miles between oil changes. If fact, Mobil 1 has a extended series that goes 15 k.
Love the Yaris.

Have to remember that it is just as important on the filter as it is the oil.

Me2, but I do the filter every 6 months.

i'm on full synth oil since 5k miles... and still change oil at 5k miles. I've tried doing at other intervals, but i find it best to stick with 5k miles with the OEM filter. I do alot of short trips, so it's a killer on the oil, especially in the winter, and I beat it up a little during summer.

i'm almost at 100k miles.

I have used Mobil 1 and Mobil 1 extended life. I change oil twice a year. Once in the spring
and again in the fall. New filter every oil change, usually a Denso.
I'm planning on buying some Total synthetic next time.
This my second Yaris, I put about 50,000 on it before I totaled it. Never a problem.
The current one just got switched to Mobil 1 5/30.

I use Mobil 1 synthetic too. I change every about 10000 km. I don't think it'll do any harm to the engine as long as you change oil as specified (5000 km for conventional, 10000km for synthetic), no matter which kind of oil.

I buy those oil and filters when on sale so it ends up almost the same price as conventional oil.
