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 buy 5 OE Toyota filters at a time from Amazon ( approximately $6 ea ) Purchase Ow-20 Idemitsu oil from NAPA ( ships free to my home ) in the cost saving 6gal box ( 24 qts ) for about $125 with their online coupon. Use this in both my Avalon and my Tundra- both run like a dream.
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.
I bought a 2008 toyota yaris for $5.5k on fb marketplace. Had a prepurchase inspection.\n\nI love that car for the exact reasons you mentioned. It\u2019s been with me everywhere ive gone, is super cheap on gas, and just requires oil changes every 8000 km.
Always have done 10k on my ‘22 RAV4 hybrid, which equates to every five or six months (did the same on my ‘16 RAV4 hybrid as well), and do the same on my ‘12 Prius C I’ve had for 11 years now. No issues.
Stick to the 0w20 and 10,000 changes. My car has over 235,000 and uses zero oil between changes.
5k or 6 months just like a new one. use the recomended toyota/lexus brand oil.
I've been using the 0w-20 (what my Sienna calls for) for at least a decade, and it's perfectly fine.
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.
The only thing I noticed that my 03 Camry burns more oil when I was obsessed with 95, im usin 91 now though its still burning oil but not as much as 95.
