I use Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30 in my 2011 328ix (N51) I believe that is the recommended viscosity.
I use 5w-30 pennzoil ultra platinum full synthetic with the oem motor craft oil filter
I change my oil every 3k miles
Frankly, we ran 0W20 for the first 175k miles in our 2017 RAV4. I changed to 5W30 because my Turbocharged Mazda also calls for 5W30.
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.
99 Ls400 owner. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum every 5k miles.
I've been using the 0w-20 (what my Sienna calls for) for at least a decade, and it's perfectly fine.
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
I know I was using penzoil back when I had a 90 325i, locked my engine up solid, mechanic said it had too much paraffin so yeah it matters personally I only use Mobil 1 synthetics
