    Are you still following this schedule? Also, would you mind sharing what filter(s) you use? I drive 450 miles/week, mostly highway, and would like to go 7,500 between changes on my 2009.

    Thanks in advance!!

    I am still following the 7.5K mile schedule and use the correct Toyota-branded oil filter. I buy my filters in a box of 10, from AutoNation Toyota Gulf Freeway, Houston, TX.

    That change schedule would work well for you. Just make sure to check the engine oil level at least at every other refueling, so that you are aware of any changes in engine oil consumption and can add oil on a timely basis. The difference in engine oil level between the two dipstick dimples is 1.6 US quarts.
