approaching 1000

what u guys running in your engine? i plan on getting the change at 1000, anyone do the same? anything done special when you got your first oil change?

anyone changing their old, i have no time to lift the car yet ,and i dont think my arm can reach that filter.

any info would be cool!

 

Amsoil don't forget their filter, oil changes at begining and end of year : o)

 

just mobil 5w-30 dino oil.. and yeah definitely change the filter.. scion give you 3 free oil changes ya know

 

i got mobil 1 synthetic..maybe going to amsoil or royal purple when oil change time comes again.

 

moved....

 

I use to use only mobile one, but after switching to Royal purple, I'm hooked

 

im using royal purple 5w30

 

Mobil 1 Synthetic 5w30 and Mobil 1 Oil Filer!

 

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.

 

FormulaShell 5W-30 with Toyota filter.

 

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.

 

Does the TC come with synthetic oil? if not, is it advisable to change to synthetic? what do you guys think? how often do you change synthetic? 10k miles?

 

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?

ROYAL PURBLE!

 

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...)

 

I only use royal purple 5w-30, and k&n Filters (HP-1003). The cool thing is that the pepboys by my house carries all royal purple line. Very cool.

 

From my understanding, its not recommended to use synthetic oil until at least your third oil change.[/b]

 

nobody said it did come with mobil 1. thats just what we switched to....
