Engine oil OEM Toyota or OEM BMW

OEM Toyota Engine oil

I got my first oil change at 1065 miles following Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician youtube personality The Car Care Nut's advice to do the first one at 1000 miles, and will follow a 5000 mile / 6 month schedule going forwards.

Pros: cheap insurance, follows advice
Mileage: 1065 km

OEM BMW Engine oil

I recommend checking your oil level at 3000 miles because some vehicles burn oil. BMW and Audi especially, at 1500~2000miles I will top off.

Pros: check oil level
Cons: vehicles burn oil
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 3000 km

For newer vehicles I am in the camp of: if you want the car to last a long time use the 5K change interval with the exception being in the first 10 K. For the first 10K miles I would do 3 changes (not just 2) to be sure any debris/material from the break in process is cleaned/ cleared out quickly before it can potentially metastasize into a bigger issue (much later on);

Pros: long engine life
Cons: debris from break in

Just do it every 5,000 miles. It’s the standard for most vehicles. Unless it burns oil often, then maybe 3000miles. I have a 2019 camry se and I’ve done it every 5k miles. It’s currently at 96k miles, oil still looks golden and brand new before I change the oil after every 5k miles.

Pros: oil looks new at 96k
Cons: burns oil often
Mileage: 96000 km

The cars are very capable of doing 10k mile intervals between oil changes AS LONG AS YOU USE THE PROPER FULL SYNTHETIC! You won't get any problems doing it that way, however by 5k the oil will have a little bit of dirt in it so some people will do it at 5k just for peace of mind and to make 100% sure that the engine stays clean.

Pros: capable of 10k intervals
Cons: oil has dirt at 5k

i have a 2007 camry le v6. i got it a few months ago and plan to change the oil every 3000 km. i dont drive much and my mechanic (whom i worked under in an apprentice-like role for 3 months) recommended every 3k. i got the car in april and i still havent even driven 2000 kms since then (including four 200+km trips), so i still have about two more months until ill change it anyway.

Pros: mechanic recommended 3k

OEM BMW Engine oil

Been using the recommended bmw 5w-30 up until recently. However been having to top up 5L every month so the shop switched over to 10w-40 and I haven't seen that I needed to top up yet, but it has only been one and half months so far since the service.

Pros: less top up needed
Cons: high oil consumption
Vehicle: BMW
