As the title says... Post what brand, weight, and mileage intervals you do your oil changes with. Also, don't be afraid to throw in your oil filter brand that you like.
I use Pennzoil Ultra. 5W-30. I change at every 5,000 miles. I use Toyota OEM filters. ![]()

I have used Mobil 1 0W-30 & NAPA gold filters since my Yaris was new. It has 67K miles on it now and I change the oil every 5000 miles, although I plan on extending it to 10000 miles next oil change (I will switch to NAPA platinum filter).

I'm on Toyota care right now also, but as soon as I'm off it, mobil one synthetic 5w30 with matching filter. (always buy it on sale, 28.99 for the whole thing!)

Why would you guys EVER go 10,000 miles on an oil change? That is just crazy.

I change mine once a year with Amsoil. I bounce from 0w-20 and 5w-20. I'm also using Amsoil EA oil filters, once a year as well. When Amsoil temporarily discontinued their EA oil filter for the Yaris, I was using MANN oil filters and changing them every 7500 miles.

Never had any issues with the truck or engine. Toyotas do not need 3k~5k mile oil changes. It's just a waste of money.(IMO). ![]() |

Most full synthetic oils suggest changing oil every 10k. i run 8 at the most, but if I plan on going over 5k, i'll change the filter and top it off.

Been doing this for a while now, and my engine compression test is just a few psi lower than a brand new engine. So I think the Amsoil is worth it ;)

Twice a year at 6 months or just under 5,000 miles . Have to because of the Platinum warranty . Use Shell synthetic 5w-20 for the cold months and their 5w-30 during the warmer weather . Now using AC Delco PF 1233 oil filter for less than $4 each . Shell synthetic is under $3.40 a quart . May get a used oil analysis at upcoming oil change . Depends if the weather cooperates . Outdoor O.C. on the drive .

The 30 wt end of the oil is measured at 212*F, that does not change once your engine is warmed up, wether it be winter or summer. ![]() |

My neighbor hasnt EVER changed the oil in his Ford and it has 88k on it, but he does monitor the level and adds oil when needed. He claims its all a conspiracy by the oil companies to make money. "Man I am some kind of SCREWING those assholes!" is his comment.
Is he wrong?
