I changed my oil at 1,100 miles, but didnt use synthetic until I hit 6,500 miles. Mobil 1 5w-30, or if you can shell out some $$$, Amsoil is great. For the xB, dont really have to jack up the car, the pan/filter is right there in the front.

Originally, I wanted to put Royal Purple in the car, but I can't get it where I live. Right now, I'm running. Amsoil 5W-30 with factory filter. Changed first at ~6 months/2300 miles. Since I don't put a lot of miles on my car, I'll likely change it again after another six months.

i think the tC comes with Dino oil...i always switch to synthetic (i use Mobil 1, but they are all good.)
some synthetics are long life types and can go 15,000 miles but i change mine every season reguardless of miles....

As a follow one, what is the difference between the Toyota Oil Filters and the TRD High Performance filters?? I'm not a racer and don't push my cars hard, but I am using synthetic oil which I plan on changing every 4 to 6K. Any advantage to the TRD?

The tC does NOT come factory filled with Mobil 1 ... ALL Scions come filled with Toyota 5w30. Mobil makes the Toyota 5w30 to meet the Toyota Spec and then packages it in Toyota packaging BUT it is still a basic conventional oil. Mobil also makes the Toyota Type-IV ATF, they make it to meet Toyota Spec and then package it in Toyota packaging

What's in my xB? Whatever Toyota put in there. End of March I'll be changing oil for first time, and will go with a synthetic.
(My Toy dealer will substitute a synthetic for the regular oil for a $7 premium, which isn't bad at all. I don't know for sure which synthetic they use in their shop...)
