Engine oil OEM Toyota or Total
I've been using the 0w-20 (what my Sienna calls for) for at least a decade, and it's perfectly fine.
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.
It runs a premium (Total) 5W-30 engine oil. Gets an oil change and oil filter every 10,000km or 6months.
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.
our jiffy lube locations use total quartz ineo long life 0w20 which meets vw 508/09 specs. definitely use the vw recommended oil it has all the additives it needs especially with keeping those euro engines clean and less burn off at high temp.
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.
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.
