Engine oil Shell or OEM Toyota

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

Rotella T6 now comes in 10w-30 as well as a 5w-40 both are excellent choices.

I'll always use T6 because it's cheap, available, and damn good oil

The interesting part is that the T6 was used to tow a camper from Indiana to the Oregon coast where we are now. It’s interesting to see the viscosity, flashpoint and Moly are higher in the T6 even after towing through the mountains and more miles on the change.

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 wouldn’t go with 0W20. Most people thicken the oil up in these when they start getting excessive oil burning. Lots of folks running Rotella 5W40. I ran it for years before I got tired of paying the premium price.

I check the oil a couple times a month, mostly because it's leaking oil a bit and needs a top-off every thousand miles or so.

2004 Toyota Avensis

Thing just guzzles oil. I believe the model I had was manufactured in England.

Had to top up the oil every 3000kms
