One might wonder why the lack of an 'outcry' re Toyota's warranty not matching that of some competitors. I feel there isn't an 'outcry' because matching those warranties isn't necessary. The overall reliability of Toyota vehicles across the whole company speaks for itself. To others: I don't know why the system is doing this, but bairjo is replying to my post in #58 and I'm replying to his post in this #59 - not each of us replying to our own posts. |

Thanks. I don't know why are getting that system area. When this specific thread started, I looked at my log book and made a list of the mileage for each oil change. Then I misplaced the list. I just found it. I'll include it as a reply to UberSilver's post #8 and as a last post on this until next month or beyond. In the beginning (when I was still under warranty and also a noob as a Toyota owner) I changed my oil more frequently. For the last 122k + miles I've tried to be just under 20k between oil/filter changes.

P.S. oops...almost certain I left one out. I felt guilty after the 34,014 lapse between odometer 38,036 and 72,050 so I changed again at 74,000+ . Will check log book again. P.P.S. Checked. 74,000+, to be exact, was 74,480 Last edited by nookandcrannycar; 01-24-2013 at 08:05 AM. Reason: P.P.S. |

Good to hear! FYI, I will be changing the auto trans fluid once a year as well, as it only needs 3 quarts, and I pretty much drive my cars like I've stolen them

Good to know. I have a manual, but lilyaris' 10 asked me, The Sin, and triniper4mance about when to change ATF on another thread. We all have manual transmissions, so I'll update him with your ATF change interval.

Except for the breakin oil, you can go 10k+ with confidence! Especially if you are using synthetic.....and i am sure some Moose brain will chime in about that.

LOL (can't resist replying) -- I drove away after one oil/filter change and noticed (steam? light? Both? --- can't remember) and pulled over and checked under the hood. They didn't put the cap back on after putting the oil in the engine! I drove back to the place and pointed this out to the owner. They drove to the Toyota dealership, bought me a new cap, returned, changed the oil and filter again, and gave the car back to me with a cupon for a free oil change. I did avail myself of the free oil change (and double checked the results upon completion), but by the time for the next oil/filter change came around I went to another place I'd found (that was cheaper as well).

" It costs about $20 for synthetic oil changes at home . Oil filter $4 ( AC Delco PF1233 or Toyota YZZF2 ) , 4 quarts Shell synthetic oil at $3.50 each ( w/tax ) , and paper towels . Can't beat that . Here are U.O.A.s from the sedan . Column 1 : Shell syn 5w-20 , 2nd : Shell syn 5w-30 , 3rd : Pennzoil Yellow Bottle ( P.Y.B. ) regular 5w-30 . All oil intervals in the reports had the Toyota 90915-YZZF2 oil filter . "
Did a oil change earlier and will be posting a new U.O.A. of the SHELL synthetic 5w-20 (S.N.) with a AC Delco oil filter . The oil / filter had 4,649 miles of use . Had to get it done thanks to poor weather in the upcoming weeks . Have to change oil / filter on the driveway ( brrrrr , was 28 with a light wind and some sun ) . Replaced the AC Delco to the Toyota oil filter with another round of the SHELL syn 5w-20 . Will be about a few weeks before posting the U.O.A.. Hope all turns out well .
