That thread you linked is about mileage, not about the amount of time between oil changes. I did a search before I posted this thread and only came up with mileage debate threads. Reread my first post.

Also, check the time stamp on that thread you linked. I posted mine hours before that one.

I just moved out into the country, and my drive to work is about 95% 80mph each way, for a total of 140 miles round trip. So I'm really easy on the oil. I use only synthetic 0w-20 and my wear numbers are actually lower then most Yarii that use a higher viscosity. Given my drive, I plan on changing the oil every 7,000 miles. I currently got 51,000 miles on the odometer, and should be around 90,000 miles by this time next year. Yaris are great cars!

I'd say your fine at that interval...
