Do you change your oil every 5000 or 10000?

i would go every 10k, but since i only drive about 6k a year, i do it every spring. my mechanic thinks i'm crazy.

 

This fellow owner (and career Mechanic) changes his Prius oil/filter at 5,000 miles using Toyota 0w-20 synthetic and Toyota filter.

 

Okay, split the difference, 7500 miles.
I do 10,000. Just did mine at 190,000. It was just starting to get dark.

 

10k for me.

 

5k for me. My last sampling at 5k showed “possible” coolant contamination, just enough to be detected. They recommended another sample done at 5k to rule it out. I haven’t lost any coolant that I could tell, so I’ll see what happens in about 1200 miles.

 

I seem to remember the announcement coming out in late 2009.

I typically change the oil at some convenient time somewhere in the middle of those mileage ranges. No simultaneous tire rotations, I do that with my winter/summer tire and wheel swaps.

 

Every 5000

 

1 yr comes way before 5k mi on our v, so it's once a year for us, Mobil 1 Annual Protection with Fram Ultra.

moto g(7) power ?

 

For third gen Toyota Canada stuck with 6 months or 8000 kms (5000 miles), whichever comes first. I follow that, and we're lucky to do 8000 kms yearly, so 6 months governs.

With fourth gen Toyota Canada's switched to be in line with the States, the longer intervals, but I would stick with the old interval. Maybe overkill; I don't care.

 

In Europe we have the 15k km (~10k miles) for most of the Toyotas since around 2000, so I don’t change it more often.

 

Change X < 15,000 mi or yearly.

 

5k maintenance, does not necessarily mean oil and filter.

it matches your maintenance schedule, every 5k or 6 months, whichever comes first

 

Reminders for tire rotations and other maintenance / inspections. Although some feel that if a shop changed their engine oil, they don't need to check it at all until it's in the shop for next oil change. See my signature for more info.

 

So that you don't forget the other maintenance items that still need attention at that interval, including checking the oil level. Here is the 2012 Liftback's list:

 

Up north here, tire rotation is 'free' when doing my winter tire swaps, but costs me extra labor any other time. So that is why I've separated it from the oil changes and do it at a different time.

But this plan isn't useful in Florida ...

 

It always puzzles me to see how different maintenance schedules are on different sides of the Atlantic ocean.
Since a very long time Toyota has a 15000km (9375 miles) service interval.
Toyota has the shortest intervals since most European and also other Asian brands use 20000 or 30000km intervals.
