Really looking forward to getting that first break in oil change done and go full send. I do have a giant problem with this car though... I F'N LOVE IT!
I tested it myself on my 3.0T, pumped everything out with the extractor, then jacked the car up and pulled the plug, catching evening that drained out in a measuring cup. It had less than 1/4 cup of oil left in the pan.
Did this every oil change on my sq5. Made it 180k miles before trading it in. Works very well. That was the easiest oil change I’ve ever done. Of the 15 minutes the job takes, about 4 of those minutes is actually doing something
Definitely prefer the extractor here! So easy/clean and gets all of the oil. At least in a Q8 and b9 A4/5 it got everything
I’ve done both and extractor takes out like 97% of oil. I still had about a half cup when I pulled the plug.
I change mine every 5k irregardless of whatever Toyota says. Oil changes are cheap insurance to your engine if you intend to keep it for the long term.
Toyota OEM oil has 10x the amount of thr dry lubrication additive molybdenum in its additive package. The dealerships use bulk Mobil 1 oil when they do your oil change. This is why everyone should change their own oil.
Mijn prius uit 2005 krijgt niks anders. Ik rijd er al mee van 220k tot nu 397k. Still going strong!
its really only an issue on track if youre running sticky tires. running 0.5-1.0qt overfill seems to be a decent solution on track
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
