Valvoline Conventional $11.88/5L Walmart Canada
Just a heads-up for the Canadian DIY oil change folks. I picked up two 5W20. At my 'local' Walmart, they also had lots of 5W30 and 10W30. This is one of the best prices for a brand name conventional I've seen in Canada in a while. These have the new "easy pour" spout to boot.

Is there counterfeit oil yet? Concerns me w/ Mobil 1. (Why did their synthetic trans oil have a slight amount of that rank smell of conventional trans oils?)

Counterfeit oil? As in people packaging an inferior product in brand name bottles? Not sure, but the Petroleum Quality Institute of America (PQIA) tests oil samples and 'blacklist' certain producers whose products are inadequate. I think if you buy from a reputable store, then there's probably little chance of getting a 'fake' oil in a brand name bottle. I once opened a bottle of Castrol GTX and it smelled like turpentine. The oil looked good and there was no sediment. I guess it just depends on the formulation.

I scored 10 jugs of this oil at my local wally world for $6.88 each a few months ago. Clearly a pricing error and that's why I got 10 jugs. Start the car!!!! Lol

Also once bought a brand new Dorman trans pan with drain plug for my older Dodge Grand Caravan for $5.00, shipping included on Amazon. Price was up to over $50.00 shortly thereafter. These things do happen!

The only reason you were honoured the price is cause where you live. I was born in NB. Great people. I'd be told to damn bad here in Toronto.

Maybe so. Maritimers can be a good lot. Funny, you were born in NB and moved to Toronto. I was born in Toronto and moved to NB - at the ripe age of 1.

Thirty six passed a long time ago, my friend. LOL. Add 18 to that. Haha. My two kids - 8 and 10 - routinely tell me that I'm over "half of a century old". Little ingrates.

Also looking at the oil capacity on my 08 Yaris Sedan on a site. It says 3.7L and 0.3L for filter.. Which is a total of 4L, is that the max capacity for the car or is that the recommend amount i use for every oil change? I know some people fill the oil until the dipstick is 2/3 to the second hole. Not sure what the proper method is.. First time DIY oil change, sorry. |

I always fill my new oil filter before installing it on the car. I then just add a little less than 3/4 of what's left in the jug (5L) jug and adjust by checking the dipstick. You'll want to run the car for 10 - 15 seconds after you've added your oil. Let it sit for a while to let the oil make its way back to the pan before your level check. I also check it later the same day. Who am I kidding, I check mine every time I fuel up too - I wee bit OCD. Haha. I've never heard people suggest filling 2/3 of the way up the stick. I always fill to the top (second hole). An interesting note: Toyota considers max oil consumption to be 1L/1000km. I never have to add any makeup oil between changes on either Yaris or my van.

I use long oil change intervals in my other cars so I use synthetic, and every time Walmart has it on for $25 I stock up.
I guess I should get some of that conventional for the Echo |

You say you run longer intervals? How long if you don't mind?

I go by the oil life indicator.
2011 Colorado I get almost exactly 16k (KM) and the Wife's Sonic gets to about 12k but it's turbocharged. I've been doing ii about 25 years now with Synthetic. Before the monitor systems I used to change it once a year with a filter and top up at 6 months. |
