Oil change interval ?? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hard_Yaris · 03-30-2010, 11:37 AM

what about AMSOil that claims to have up to 25,000km before changing oil.

OP is claiming 1,200 miles per year typical. Would take him over 8 years to rack up 10k miles! I wouldn't wait that long to change the oil.

Personally, I've gone to 15k mile oil changes with good full synthetic oil. But, I do 15k in 1-1.5 years and I'm okay with that length of time.

. You could possibly use PENNZOIL Platinum Ultra for a longer interval at less than $7 a quart or the gallon jug for less that $29 . May become cheaper when rebates come out or upcoming sales at ADVANCE AUTO or other auto part store(s) .

Yeah I didn't mean to sound as if the OP should change oil every 10K . Loren's suggestion of "every spring" would be ideal if the OP used a decent synthetic oil .

I was just letting peeps know that you can easily , with no adverse effects , do 10K intervals (with a good synthetic) in regards to the oil change .

As of right now I'm changing my oil . Today I will start 15 K oil change intervals .

at longer intervals would change the oil filter 1/2 way through and top off with leftover oil . Different strokes ( piston ) for different folks .

I use the stock Toyota filter . It has no problems with 10K oil change . But for the 15K oil change I will check(replace) the filter .

would think the topoff could take up to 1/2 a quart to bring to FULL mark . When I do oil change will fill the new TOYO filter with close to 5 ounces of oil before installing . When removing the used oil filter seems like 8 ounces or so comes out from block .
