Engine oil OEM Toyota or IDEMITSU
Have a 2016 Corolla ZR. Have only done oil changes, bought the car at 49Kms its now 105ks. Only thing ive ever need doing is oil.
This is normal. Wait till it gets below 1k rpm. Modern engines do not need a lot of time to idle after cold start, the ECU handles it. Although, for a few kilometres, do not push very hard. The engine oil (0w-20 idemitsu) is thin, and needs time to lubricate well.
Perhaps using a lower weight, full synthetic engine oil would build pressure faster and reduce the noise.
My 2000 Toyota is approaching 300k and runs beautifully. The car before that had 170k before it got totaled.
I have a 17 grand touring and I use idemitsu 0w/20 and purolator b9ss filters.
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.
Never had any luck doing an oil change every 10K miles on any cars in my fleet. However, with a new car that’s hybrid that I bought last year, I’m praying that I can push the oil change interval every 10K
2000s Toyotas. Not really unreliable, but oil burning was an issue on most of these because people did not change the oil on time.
