coming up to my 5,000 miles and gonig to change the oil and rotate the tires whats some good oil and oil filters for tc's??

 

You should have 3 free oil changes from the dealer... why not just go have them do it?

 

Read through the forum this post is now located in.

The Mobil1 oil and Toyota filter combination is very popular, and what I run. Mobil1 is available at autoparts stores and the filter is available at your dealer or online for a slight savings.

 

I use AMSOIL fully synthetic in my car, I used to use the AMSOIL high flow oil filters until they upgraded them and started charging $12 for them. Now I just use the Denso Toyota filter, which is also a high flow filter. I got a pack of 10 for $35...can't beat that.

 

1 vote for dino oil!

I have yet to go over 2500miles in 3 months, and I ALWAYS go with 3/3K rule when it comes to my Scion. For me, synthetics would be a waste of money.

Id say factory filter (I got a 10 pack for about $30-35 from my dealer) and either Castrol or Valvoline. 5w30 if you are in a desert like me, or the factory recommended 5w20 for cooler climates.

 

Mobil 1 Most definitely. If I remember right its guaranteed for 8,000 mi.

 

mobil one is the only way to go with oil. i use it and k&n filter. works great for me.

 

Lets put it this way the only car I have ever owned or kept for over 100,000 miles before the motor blew only had mobil 1 ran in it. 95 Jeep YJ Wrangler 155,000 miles traded in and still ran strong. Had a Cherokee used regular oil in it and it was junk at 91,000 miles. All of my American cars never seen 100,000 miles except the wrangler. I havent kept a Japaneese car long enough yet. I am sure the Scion will top them all.
