I only run 5k on my corolla, should I stick with full synthetic or just run semi? The only difference is the semi will be 5w while the synthetic would be 0w
The oil cap says I can use either I think 09 was a transition year. So I think 5k on Dino and 10k on syntheticI don’t think semi synthetic is going to hurt anything. I’m guessing the OCI on the vehicle is greater than 5k and probably specifies conventional oil, so semi synthetic is actually a step up…
The 5w shouldn’t be a problem in RI…
Just my $0.02

What extra protection would the syn oil and high end filters afford at 5,000 mile intervals? Toyotas regularly go over 350,000 miles with quick lube oil and filters. Facts tend to get in the way of marketing.The only reason I can think of is that it is not a large price savings to run a blend versus full synthetic.
When Motorcraft Synthetic Blend others are +/- $2 of Supertech Full Synthetic and Quaker State Full Synthetic, why not just take the full synthetic, even for 5k intervals? Extra protection (even if marginal) for no extra money is a no brainer.
I also don't think there is anything wrong with an "overkill" filter. You could even stick with a Fram Ultra and run it for 2, 5k OCI's so you get more of your money's worth. No harm no foul there.
It is a rather large cap.The cap says that?
Better fine micron filtration (What extra protection would the syn oil and high end filters afford at 5,000 mile intervals? Toyotas regularly go over 350,000 miles with quick lube oil and filters. Facts tend to get in the way of marketing.

Why the 20,000 mile oil filter for 5,000 miles? What are you expecting?What filter should I run? I’ve been running supertech 0w20 20,000 mile oil with Fram ultra filter for 5k but it’s definitely overkill. I suppose the standard filter will work
Right I thought you meant it had something about OCI and base stock composition.
