Thanks for posting. I had no idea it cost that much. Wow!

Screen name checks out. :)

I have to admit that I have been swayed in the past (and again more recently). I used to be the 5k OCI type, but then several years ago, I started reading about longer OCI on BITOG. I decided to experiment with longer OCI (10k or even 12k) with full syn, even trying Amsoil. More recently, I...

I would say to use your best judgment. It is all personal to each individual. Some feel that it is a waste to change at 5k miles, and prefer to extend to over 10k or 15k. Others want to do it at 3k. I don't think anyone should get criticized for either approach. Just do what makes sense in your...

Right. He even said that some of Toyota's OEM fluids are overpriced and not necessary, which I thought might not make his employer happy.

I'm glad it was posted though. I'd never seen it before and found it very helpful. Something I'll use for reference going forward.

What a great video for us Toyota owners. Thanks to the OP for posting it. Not just for the motor oil part of it, but all the fluids. I was on about a 10k OCI, but have recently decided to go back down to 5k OCI.

I seem to remember a plant-based motor oil from about 10 or 15 years ago that was popular at first, but then seemed to disappear.

Found the single guy!!! Just kidding. I'm jealous of your cache.

Unfortunately, only about ten gallons of gas on hand. However, I've got 30 oil filters stocked up. Is that too much?

My wife said that I have an oil hoarding problem and that I need help. Confession is apparently the first step of the recovery process. I have 130 quarts in storage. Between our two cars, we typically use about 25 quarts a year. That would mean I only have a 5 year stash, which I feel is not...

This is a very good deal. I bought 15 quarts myself.

I didn't want the post to become too convoluted and too much to read. More information: I drive a 2009 Toyota Prius with 183k miles on the odometer. It burns about one quart every 5,000 miles. These cars are notorious for the piston control rings becoming clogged, resulting in some burning oil...

Let's assume that number of times crawling under the car, worth of time, environmental impact, etc. is a non-factor. I'd just like to know which you'd choose if only given one option for the rest of the life of your car/engine.

I'd like to know what members of the BITOG forum would choose for their vehicles. (Let's assume that cost is equal.) A. 12,000 mile OCI with high-quality 100% synthetic oil (such as Amsoil signature series, which is rated at 25k miles) + very high quality filter. B. 5,000 mile OCI with generic...

I think that is a testament to how well you've taken care of your engine with frequent OCI. I've got a 2009 Prius and it burns a little now (a little over a quart every OCI). I haven't been as good as you, as I've been doing longer OCI and I think that is coming back to haunt me. I've gone a few...

I know your engine looks pristine, but any issues with burning oil? I believe these cars are notorious for burning oil because of the piston control rings.

Wish I could talk my wife out of getting an iPhone. All of her friends are telling her how great they are. Originally Posted By: Blkstanger I just talked my Wife out of a new Iphone and into an Android.

Very cool. Amazing that this place really exists. It almost doesn't seem real.

Yes. Quite amazing athletes. Even if they are all doping, it still amazes me that the human body can accomplish those kinds of feats.
