Engine oil OEM Toyota or ELF

Perhaps using a lower weight, full synthetic engine oil would build pressure faster and reduce the noise.

My 2000 Toyota is approaching 300k and runs beautifully. The car before that had 170k before it got totaled.

I just bought a 2025 Camry in September. I did my first oil change at 1200 miles and my second at 2500 miles. The first time I changed it, I added a magnetic plug. Quite a bit of fine metal was on the plug at the second change. Next change will be at 5000 and every 5000 after that.

yeah they make good stuff. My last one id top up the oil when it got low never did an oil change had it for 5 years went like a boss. But yeah got a newer smaller better toyota.

I have a 2016 Corolla and just had the oil changed at dealership at 188000 km. Worked out for me.

I'm from a Toyota family. My parents used to buy Toyotas just out of warranty and never did any maintenance on them. When an oil change interval was due my dad checked the oil levels and maybe topped it up a little if necessary - like once a year that is. There was never an engine problem.

If it\u2019s a Toyota it will run just fine even with chewing gum instead of oil, a Subaru will explode one mile past the due service mark.

See how much metal that 08 weight pisswater has generated after only 1.3k miles? Switch to 0w30/5w30 and you'll see a drastic reduction in wear. I know I did.

Never had any luck doing an oil change every 10K miles on any cars in my fleet. However, with a new car that’s hybrid that I bought last year, I’m praying that I can push the oil change interval every 10K

2000s Toyotas. Not really unreliable, but oil burning was an issue on most of these because people did not change the oil on time.
