Engine oil OEM Toyota or AMSOIL
I personally run Amsoil and always have. I think they make a great product and their customer service is solid.
AMSoil signature series. Best stuff you can get!
I've used Mobil 1 in all my vehicles before this car. I have chosen Amsoil Signature Series for the WRX.
Amsoil also makes a oil specially formulated for hybrid vehicles since your engine turns on and off more frequently than an average car. Amsoil has a higher Flashpoint than most conventional oils which reduces the amount of oil your car burns.
The best oil you can get for that car is the amsoil signature series. 0w30 or 5W30 in warm climate.
I paid $15.85 per US quart for Toyota Genuine 0W8 oil in Canada.
I switched over to Amsoil and I the engine runs much better.
Do it, new engines throw off a lot of burs and metal particulates before the parts get seated. I changed the oil on my 2023 venza limited at 950miles. Listen to the car care nut master Toyota tech who sez change the oil at first 1kmiles. He cuts open his filter after 1k miles and the filter is full of metal particles.
I just changed the oil in our new 2023 RAV 4 Prime at 1,000 miles, we have been driving in HV mode to run the engine for break in. I also sent off an oil sample, but have not received the results yet. I did open open up the oil filter and found some tiny bits of metal! At least the filter catches it. I have always changed the oil after the first 1,000 miles in our new cars (Toyotas the last 30 years). Also the dealer said every 10k miles but I always do it at 5k.
I feel it is a good idea to change the oil after the first 500-1000 miles.
I do this just in case something got left behind in the manufacturing process that I don't want circulating in the engine.
There is no guarantee this will make any difference in the life of the engine.
