I'll be sure to keep mine around more than that amount of time. Only thing I'm not really feeling is that plastic rattle I still have and I can't find where it's coming from...might have to take apart the passenger side door panels and have me a look.

Trust me I have seen worse Neons. I had several Neons Never had much of a problem. But my Yaris is way better.

That is only 372,000 miles or so... when I used to change oil back in the day I used to see god knows how many Toyota's and Honda's with well over 400,000 miles, 643,700km... about 1/2 of those people used synthetic it's whole life, the other half bought em used and were just lucky i geuss

I've only had my Yaris for 8 1/2 months, and I'm already looking around. The only cars I keep for a long time are the ones I dump too much money into (see my sig).

Switching to synthetic is going to be expensive since I do 8 oil-change/year, which will cost me about $350/year for the sync oil. That's a hefty price to pay for something that might not help in the long term. I can see how synthetic can help to keep the cylinder wall in above average condition, but that's not going to help an old engine that's been fatigued enough so that it's about to break from the constant pounding. |

so you drive 40000miles 64000km a year? and where are you getting your oil for some 40 bux? just got mine done today with mobile 1 0-20 Fram filter.... $25 U buy the oil and filter and they will do it up at the local lub shop for nothin most of the time "but that's not going to help an old engine that's been fatigued enough so that it's about to break from the constant pounding" There is not going to be a constant pounding if you use good oil and change is when needed

I'm not totally ruling out synthetic, but the Toyota oil seems to be holding up well between intervals (the old oil is still light & clear when it's ready to be changed out). Between changes, If the oil starts to get too dark, I'll probably switch to synthetic. In my Old 98 Civic Hatch, I used Mobel-1 since new and I finally retired the car at 300,000km after I cracked the head gasket. I think the gasket went cause, I was driving flat-out for couple hours on oil that hadn't been changed in 24,000km or the engine head couldn't handle the hard use. I used to think that car was indestructible. Oh well, live and learn. |
