Oil changes are a different story between convention loil and synthetic IMO. I can see synth oil on a 10-15 or 20k oil change, but last I heard there is still a sludge issue in toyota engines,at least compared to say Honda(but they get the oil VERY hot as a way to keep from sludging) and my car has a lifetime drivetrain warranty as long as mfg maitainence is followed and records kept.I will use ONLY WIX or better yet Purolator PueONE So I will be doing my 3-5k oil changes for a long time! I noticed on the tranny dipstick (auto)it states no changes needed under normal use, 1st time I've seen that!

To the OP:
I'm brutal on my engine. Cold-starts, short trips, etc. Even so, all my Blackstone Oil Analysis reports come back with stellar results, and lots of oil life left. Blackstone is always trying to encourage me to go 6K miles on conventional Shell 5w-30, however I don't (yet), due to the warranty... |

o.k. . We're using SHELL 5w-30 conventional for now . Get it for $2.20 a quart . Dumped the SHELL 5w-30 synthetic for both to see if the leak stops for both with conventional . May go to a run of VALVOLINE 5w-30 dino . That's apparently a little thicker . Checked the 2010 earlier for the leak after being driven for over a 100 miles in 2 days and there was no oil . When drove the 2008 for 100+ miles in 1 day it was wet to the touch . Recleaned both . Will keep monitoring the two . Thanks .
