I did my 2024 corolla cross at 1300 miles. Will do it again at 5k miles, and then standard 5k after that. Toyota does them at 10k because it saves them money since they give you a couple free ones off the get go.
I changed my 24 Camry hybrid at 1500 miles. The oil was BLACK and there were a fair amount of metal fragments in the oil as well. For me, the cost to rid the engine of th ebreak-in metal wear is totally worth the $30 it cost me to do it.
The car care nut says to do it, so I will trust him. My '24 Corolla SE Hybrid is at 802 miles and there is a 5 quart bottle of Mobil One Advanced Fuel Economy full Synthetic 0W-16 and a Mobil One extended performance high capacity filter waiting for tomorrows early oil change.
First 500-1000 miles is probably a good idea since there are likely metal bits left over from the manufacturing process and, although they get cleaned very well, the oil does a much better job of it and you don't want those bits floating around in yiur oil or in your engine itself.
After that, you can change your oil as often as you want as long as its under ~10k miles. Most people recommend 5k miles bc oil will pick up debris and metal shaving and what not and 10k is a bit long to let it go unless you're using a much higher quality filter like amsoil or Mobil 1. Most full synthetic oils will last longer than 10k miles these days, but I wouldn't push it due to the debris it picks up.
I got my first oil change at 1065 miles following Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician youtube personality The Car Care Nut's advice to do the first one at 1000 miles, and will follow a 5000 mile / 6 month schedule going forwards.
We haven\u2019t done anything but oil changes since buying it.
Could be weather related. I'm in Canada and we have weather from -35C to +35C, so Mazda recommends oil changes every 8000km instead of 12,000km.
I use original Mazda oil and Nipparts for the filters. I live in Europe and I buy these for 80€ / 85$.
Many reputable rotary shops have tested numerous oils over the years, and agreed that the bearings do not have adequate protection with 5w-20 or 5w-30, especially if you track the car or do any spirited driving regularly.
I mistakenly put 0w20 in ~1000 miles ago, and though my engine hasn't fallen out while I driving I've seen ~5-10% loss in mpgs and it's a little louder than it was with 0w16.
