If you want your 60K warranty you obviously have to go every 5K miles to change. Right now I do 5K using GTX full synth. I'm thinking about going Amsoil for longer oil changes.
Porsche, Mercedes, Audi, VW are letting customers go 10K on Mobile One so why not go longer with Amsoil? I have it in my manual and it is good stuff. |

Longer drain intervals used by Amsoil will not void your warranty. But the filters have got to be changed more often in the Toyotas then the 25,000 miles Amsoil usually allows with the EAO oil filters.

i think synthetic oil is a waste of money unless you are running a nhra funny car. no one knows what is in synthetic oil anyway. or what base oil stock is used. use a name brand petroluem oil and filter, change at 3000 mi or oem recommended interval and i believe you will have no oil related failures. also any fuel mileage gains will not offset the price.

Synthetic is probably not the most cost effective choice for people that change their oil religiously or don't keep there car long enough to matter. However, Toyota had to settle a class action law suit a few years back for sludged up motors due to 7500 mile oil change intervals being too long with conventional oil. Now they recommend 5000 miles accross the board on their vehicles which none of them come with synthetic from the factory. Tiny oil passages, higher operating temps-trying to get more power out of smaller displacement motors-after a lot of consideration and since I do my own oil changes I finally jumped ship deciding my to give synthetic a try. It took some trial and error with some brands-but finally settled on expensive redline and feel comfortable going 5000 miles now between changes. Before I switched you definitely want to change conventional oil every 3k and those were coming too frequently for me with all the road trips I was making.

someone earlier mentioned the filter is just as important as the oil. i just changed the wife's yaris with pennzoil platinum 5w-30 and a mobil1 'extended performance' filter. i know the platinum is good stuff, but are the mobil1 filters any good(i would hope so as the filter retailed for 12.99 at autozone, but i got a deal for 5 quarts pp and mobil1 filter for 27.99)? i'm hoping this combination will get me 7500-10,000 miles as i'm already out of warranty(i normally change every 5000-6000, but i figure the fancy filter and full synthetic will help extend that).

I have 85K miles on my Yaris (07). I use Amsoil with Toyota air and oil filters ( Sparks Toyota sells a case of 10 oil filters for $30 ). I change my oil @ 10K intervals and filters at 5K intervals . I have been doing 10k oil changes since 30k . My other Yaris (09) has 8k miles . It was driven off the lot with Amsoil . The 09 will also see 10k oil change intervals .

Amsoil once a year
I use AMSOIL 5w30 w/AMSOIL filter EAo09 and change it once a year. I do not go over 20k and will change at 20k if I do.

The EAO09 filter is no longer recommended for extended use in our cars due to the Toyota engine issue that came up with the 1.8 liters. The filter should be changed at OEM intervals. Amsoil does recommend the MANN filter for use up to 7500 miles if used with Amsoil.
Ask your Amsoil dealer for more info or e-mail me and I'll send the TSB.
