What are the oil change intervals using this new oil? Are they longer?
Yes! The superior qualities of synthetic oil have allowed the oil change interval to be extended from 5,000 miles to 10,000 miles. However, an owner should continue to check the oil level regularly and top-off if needed. That will help the engine (and the owner) get the full benefit of the new oil. Additionally if your vehicle is considered a “severe use vehicle” you will remain at the 5,000/6 month oil change frequency. Be sure to always check with your Toyota dealer to ensure proper maintenance is being preformed.
