Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 0w30 (Walmart $27) and OEM filter (dealer), DIY, every 3300 miles, when possible. 90K in the odometer.
Two weeks ago was the exception, 4000 miles (round trip to Austin, TX from Boston). Oil changed Wednesday then Sunday. |

And if you want 5W30 in, someone else won't take the liberty to use 5W20, telling you that it's better.

I would like to use syntec oil, but as a way to save money as this will extend my oil change time, i currently change my oil at 5000km (dusty roads,day temp avg 31 deg c) with syntec i believe i can go for 10,000 saving me money for oil filters and also time (as i change oil myself) My yaris takes a little under 4 qts of oil
- 4 qt of castrol 10w 30 dino oil is $30 US - 4 qt castrol 10w 30 full syntec $53 US Since i'll be doing 2 dino oil changes in the same amount of time (10,000km) i'll have to buy 8 qts dino oil totaling $60 US as compared to $53 US for the full syntec during the same period (10,000) also i will have to purchase and extra oil filter ($20US) and my time to change it. so the syntec can out for me

I actually thought about the latter while I was writing the post, and have thought about the former in the past (it has happened to friends of the family).

The Brake Check chain (where I got myh last oil change) has a capacity part of their database that is updated with new models every year. The tech selects the model, and the capacity automatically populates the screen. He showed me = 3.9 quarts for my 2014. Second generation the same?
