i went in for my first oil change at roughly 6500km. my next service is not due until 14,500km, so 8000km interval or 6 months. i will most likely do my own oil/filter changes at the 10k, and 15k intervals just to keep things easily trackable. at the 15k interval, i will be going to a synthetic oil
had i known that my first service was not free, i would have done the oil change myself and save myself the $20 difference. |

hey ron, what are the advantages of synthetic oil, and why are you waiting until 15k?

a full synthetic oil is better at lubricating the engine parts, and has detergents and other additives to help the motor run cleaner reducing carbon build up. it is also more durable than conventional dino oil, allowing oil change intervals to increase.
it is recommended to switch to a synthetic after 12-15k km's so that the rings are properly seated in the motor. the initial break-in for the motor is 1000-1500km's according to the manual, but the actual break-in continues on until 12-15k km's. if you switch to a synthetic too soon, its superior lubricating properties may cause the rings to not fully seat as well as with a dino oil. for older high mileage (200k and up) cars that have been using dino oil all along, switching to a synthetic may actually cause leaking to occur as the detergents in the synthetic oil 'cleans' out any build ups and deposits internally which may be preventing oil leaks. so older cars that have been on dino oil all along, are recommended generally to stick with dino oil. |

Also note some luxury car manufacturers like BMW and Mercedes deliver their vehicles to the dealerships with synthetic oil already in them.

i've used synthetic mobile 1 oil in my two trucks for the last 10 years or longer. And my mechanic has mentioned that my engine is like brand new. That there is no sludge in the engine at all. They both still run very well so I guess I'm doing the right thing.

Hey guys, for those who are in Ontario, I just received a new coupon that if I do my oil change before end of May or somethin' I receive a LED flashlight. If you did not receive the coupon, bug them now.

Not going to get into the whole shpeel again, but synthetic oil sometimes leaks cause it "flows" better. It will seep out of spots that conventional oil won't. Because it flows better, it is better oil. Switch to it when you want, however in past posts Toyota recomends waiting til 16000KM. As far as oil change intervals, the more often the better. 5000K intervals will help your engine last longer, but if you are not going to keep the vehicle forever, 8000K will certainly not harm it.

yeah, full synthetic oil will tend to "slip" by easier than non-snyth. but that only really matters on engines with alot of miles... i'm going to let the rings seat and the engine wear in properly and then go full synthetic
