Oil 5000 miles + - Toyota Yaris Forums

Everybody has a story...and all are valid. At the end of the day, the bottom line is that, if you can afford to, change the oil as often as possible and preferably at the well known intervals. If in doubt...follow the owner's manual at a minimum. The irony is that you can't afford NOT to change your oil often....it's the cheapest maintenance you can buy. The dealer has over-filled my wife's Scion twice and since the oil changes are free....I bought a fuji drain valve and let the excess out when it comes home. There is no point in addressing the dealer. I highly recommend oil changes at home. They are easy, fast, cheap, accurate and great piece of mind.
