10,000 mile oil changes till it hits 200k miles, then 7,500 intervals. Always using
Royal Purple and Toyota filters. Zero oil consumption between changes
Been using 0W20 on my 2010 Corolla for 100,000km now with no issues. As others said, use a quality filter. I use the genuine filter from Toyota for around $12.
The oil is 0W-16, any major brand will do, and the OEM filter is 90915-YZZN1 which you can find both online. There's an aluminum gasket for the drain plug that you should be changing each time too.
Oem filter. Ive tried Toyota Genuine Motor Oil, idemitsu IFG 7 and 5 and Valvoline advanced. Sticking with IFG 5 for the next 4 oil changes
$27 synthetic 0-16W. $7 Toyota filter.
So $34. I do it myself. I don’t trust Walmart.
$30 total.
$25 for 5qt oil, $4.5 for oem filter from Toyota dealership.
Tbf the b6 passat will probably rust away just by existing before the engine gives up. That being said, 1.4tsi engine is not great not terrible. Many problems with them are caused by lack of maintenance and by cheap oil filters.
I'd just recommend getting a VW oil filter. Some of the aftermarkets are really cheap and can collapse in on themselves.
They didn't change out my oil filter. Since it was a cartidge I put a piece of tape over that it would separate if removed. It wasn't broken.
B5 Passat (and Audi A4, same gen), 1.8T.
Filter - a big-ass 1.5 liter spin-on - mounted at an angle, directly above the front subframe.
Remove from top, after relocating the coolant tank.
Strategically use absorbent mat (floor diaper) to contain the inevitable spill.
