Oil 5000 miles + - Toyota Yaris Forums

I hope you DIY guys are saving receipts and putting them in the warranty book. I don't think the act of saying you changed every X,000 miles is enough to keep you within warranty, and if you take a car in with an engine problem and have no proof of oil changes it could be a long day.

My Yaris gets oil chance every 9000 miles (15000 km) or once a year when you drive less. Thats what the manual says.
And her in Netherlands the Toyota dealers use 10w40 oil for the engine.

I've just changed my oil @ 10 K for the second time using Amsoil 5-30 . The oil was pretty darn clean . I will go the full 15 K that Amsoil suggest for this next interval .
