I have a 2015 Tacoma 4-cylinder stick shift 52,000 mi. I bought it new. The only maintenance I had to do was oil changes and I go underneath with a grease gun and grease all the fittings along the axle.

I've been using Ravenol VMP for the past year, reviews show it as a high end oil. Lots of VAG tdi people swear by it here in Europe.

Pros: high end oil

Just a suggestion to other Sebring drivers. I know there are lots of "the best oils" out there, but they are not made for this kind of punishment, they will sheer apart.

Pros: good for racing

Cons: not discount brand

I went down a rabbit hole with engine oil a while back and settled on ravenol. I get that most top tier oils are good enough but my issue was I was consuming more oil than I'd like with my f10 m5 and since switching, it is consuming considerably less oil

Pros: less oil consumption

Vehicle: BMW

Just got the oil lab report back from the sample taken during the oil change I did at 15K miles. The previous oil change at 10K was performed by the dealership. So that means that whatever the Toyota dealership put in there at 10K, was not OEM Toyota oil.

Pros: oil lab report back

Cons: not OEM Toyota oil

Vehicle: Toyota

Mileage: 15000 km

Pros: super cheap on gas

Vehicle: Toyota Yaris

Ravenol is one of the few manufacturers that offers synthetic oils (not all, only those labeled "vollysint").

Pros: offers synthetic oils

Just hard to read with fresh oil. 0-16 was impossible to read on the dipstick when new in my 2022 Camry. Even my 2011 Corolla is hard to read.

Cons: hard to read

Vehicle: Toyota Camry
