2010 oil leak ... - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hershey · 07-05-2010, 12:01 AM

decided to drain oil earlier with 569 miles on previous oil change and replaced with SHELL 5w-30 conventional along with another TOYO oil filter . There was still plenty of engine dye in the extracted oil . Wanted to get rid of the synthetic left behind so is mostly conventional oil . Took an empty 4 gallon jug of motor oil to measure the drained oil from the oil pan and oil filter . The oil was slightly over the 3 quart mark . Thus over 3/4s' of a quart must remain in the engine . I use 3 quarts and 22 ounces to get the to the FULL mark . This includes close to 6 ounces poured into the new oil filter before installation . Recleaned area where oil leaks and collects . Next oil change for both YARII won't be until late OCTOBER to early NOVEMBER . Will inspect in between . Hoping the leaks will start to slow or stop with the use of conventional . Time will tell all .
