all i can say do what you like , i work on cars everyday and see the importance of oil change. I find ppl are just cheap or lazy to keep to the 5k -8k interval ur car ur money..i see first hand what comes out in the cars with oil that was driven for over 10k...oil is just oil dont matter who makes it looses its viscosity and the ability to protect ur engine.
I have seen two , one a rav4 with no oil change since new with 89k when it came in with a blown engine..second a 2 yr old Venza 40k since the last oil was more like sludge.
Call me old school but i believe that best thing u can do for ur car is a regular oil change, specially with the new thinner oils that modern engines run..its like water. Yaris runs 5w30 or 0w20 syn or even 5w20 i did try 0w20 and did not like it more like the car did not like it, like i said its like water.
I use mobile 5w30 mainly cos of the cold weather start ups otherwise reg 5w30 is just fine the believe that u can run syn longer i dont think has any ground ...when i do my oil change after 5k it comes out clean not black ...but that is just me my car .
If everyone looked after cars like i do I would be out of work..lol
just my 2cents on this topic
