When should I start using synthetic oil?? - Toyota Yaris Forums

maximapitko · 06-23-2009, 12:43 PM

There is an oil discussion in every auto forum that I belong to. For me Mobile 1 is the second best oil money can buy after Amsoil(creators of syn. oil). In my yaris I switched to syn. at first oil change. I am changing my oil every 7500 miles with Mobile 1 5w30 and toyota oem filter. I am currently at 70k and the old oil always looks great when I change it with what seems no consumption at all. There is zero sludge build up anywhere I can see. For my money this is the best combo. I am not planning on driving the car for 300k+ but if it comes down to that, I am confident that my engine will be in great shape.
