It is interesting that the semis are going 100+ thousand miles in some trucks. They send off oil samples every so often and do an oil change only when the numbers start to look bad. Often they can tell when something is going wrong with the engine before it breaks by picking up on what is in the oil. Also, they use gallons of oil, not quarts.

Every 5k, OEM oil filter, and what ever the dealer uses for 5-20w regular.

Got an oil/filter change recently at 240,010 miles...about 14,000 since last change. I could have gone longer, but figured this close to a milestone would make it easy to remember without looking at my records. Later that day I got my free tire rotation at Firestone....about 15,000 miles on the tires....again an easy to remember milestone. Firestone does a free balancing with each rotation, which I did not know before. I just happened to see the tech roll one of the tires away from my car, mount it on the machine, and close the lid.
P.S. This = my 15th oil change since purchased new ^^^^^ P.S. Added on 5-22-13 P.P.S. ----- Just noticed today (2-28-14) that this was my 16th oil change, not 15th Last edited by nookandcrannycar; 02-28-2014 at 02:43 PM. Reason: Added P.P.S. |

Hey guys,
just purchased 2007 Yaris RS with 106k kms. Two days ago did an oil change. Prefer Mobil synthetic 5W30 (Extended Perfomance if possible). With Mobil oil filter or K&N filter. 5qt jug of synthetic Mobil from Walmart in the states is roughly $26. Mobil filter is $15 and K&N is $8. Gonna do oil change every 4000 kms. |

OH, I just figured it out, you averaged an oil change every 16,000 miles - I can't wait to change the oil on this car, but it will be awhile. Every time I talk about how easy it will be to change the oil on 'Scruffy', I get the ball & chain saying, 'Don't forget you have 2 years of free oil changes' - Yeah whatever! |

Among Yarisworld members who are original owners, there are at least 4 between trini and me. When Contraband831 posted that he was at 246,000 I was at 244,400. Another original owner/member is at 265,000+ miles and two more are at 350,000+ miles. Tops among our non original owners (and he's enhanced his Yaris quite a bit) is Mazilla at over 530,000 miles. Mazilla bought a courier company that included 20 Yari....and each Yaris (among the 20) was at some point in the range between 350,000 and 500,000 miles!
