Engine oil OEM Toyota or RED LINE

OEM Toyota Engine oil

The car care nut says to do it, so I will trust him. My '24 Corolla SE Hybrid is at 802 miles and there is a 5 quart bottle of Mobil One Advanced Fuel Economy full Synthetic 0W-16 and a Mobil One extended performance high capacity filter waiting for tomorrows early oil change.

Pros: trusts advice, uses Mobil 1
Mileage: 802 km

OEM Toyota Engine oil

First 500-1000 miles is probably a good idea since there are likely metal bits left over from the manufacturing process and, although they get cleaned very well, the oil does a much better job of it and you don't want those bits floating around in yiur oil or in your engine itself.

After that, you can change your oil as often as you want as long as its under ~10k miles. Most people recommend 5k miles bc oil will pick up debris and metal shaving and what not and 10k is a bit long to let it go unless you're using a much higher quality filter like amsoil or Mobil 1. Most full synthetic oils will last longer than 10k miles these days, but I wouldn't push it due to the debris it picks up.

Pros: cleans metal bits, better job
Cons: debris pickup, 10k too long

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

RED LINE Engine oil

Redline 10w30 full synthetic if I know I'm going to beat the piss out of it for the next 5k miles (think autocross or mountain runs), otherwise I use Honda 10w30 full synthetic.

Pros: good for autocross
Mileage: 5000 km

RED LINE Engine oil

I do not use auto oil. Motorcycles run hotter and I don’t trust car oil. I use Red Line. They sell a V-Twin kit that has engine oil primary oil and transmission oil, and fuel system cleaner. I buy one each spring.

If you can use Redline 5w30, go right ahead. You will not have an issue. I call Redline the guarantee oil. I can pretty much guarantee that you will never have the dreaded lifter tick. It has been known to quieten a ticking engine too.

Pros: guaranteed lifter tick prevention
Cons: can be expensive
