Changing oil in new Yaris that sat on dealer lot for >9 months. - Toyota Yaris Forums

My 5-spd manual Yaris sat around unwanted at a dealership in CO for almost a full year before I found it online and had it shipped to AZ. I'm not sure if the dealership refreshed the car or not prior to selling/shipping it to me, but there were no issues with me waiting until 5K for my first oil change. I'm at 29K now & all is fine. She purrs like a kitten. I switched to full synthetic as of my 25K oil change, but still plan to change the filter/oil every 5K (& both Air filters every 15-20K).
