I've done oil testing on my Yaris since it has an unusual/hard life and settled on 8000km for the oil I use. I might be able to stretch it to 10,000km but it is not worth the risk to save ~$15/yr. |

Are you using synthetic or conventional? I was thinking synthetic should make 7500-10k Miles, but maybe I will re think that Sent from my moto x4 using Tapatalk |

Yeah roughly 5k Miles. Conventional oil. My car gets a lot of autoX and abuse, mixed with slow, local driving. I'd bet the typical Yaris coiuld stretch the oil life to 8k Miles easily, but can't say for sure. Testing isn't expensive. $50 or so per test. If you can extend your oil life with two tests, that $100 will pay off pretty quick (especially if you're paying someone else to do your service).
