Celica Forums General Discussion General Mobil 1 Synthetic Oil USERS!

How often do you change your oil?
Also, GT or GTS? year? driving habits?

I change mine every 5,000 miles or Five Months, and its still pretty clean when I change it.

between 3 and 4 k... and i drive really aggressively... i have a GT btw.

it runs you guys about what 50 bux each time

no... around 30 with the mobil 1 filter... if you use some other filter that isnt 10 bucks its about 25 to DIY.

5K miles. I use Fram Oil Filter. Runs me about $30.

runs me about 30-35. I use genuine toyota oil filters

i've been using the mobil 1 filters... i'm thinking of switching to something else though... IDK if an oil filter is actually worth 10 bucks...

toyota oil filters cost about $3-7 depending if you find them on sale or not. They also come with free oil plug gaskets

yeah i dont use an oil plug gasket anyways... works for me... no leaks.

Is it usually this price at the dealership?

3-4k with synthetic...damn. Oil must still be a light amber color when you change it.

I'm settling on about once per 4 months - about 5K miles.

3k miles with Toyota Filter. Fram Oil filters are junk, they dont filter as well.

I change my own oil at 2500-3000 depending on how I am feeling, I use a fram oil filter cause they have been the easiest filter to come off that I could find that wouldnt put up a fight. And I have a 2000 GTS with almost 108,000 miles and no oil burning.

I change mine every 3,000...use a fram filter...runs me around $23...I drive a lot...its a 2003 GT. I bought it new in october of 2003, and put 35,000 miles on it the first year alone!!!

Where can you get toyota filters below $5? I remember a gb for a case of toyota filters that cost around that much each but that was back in 2001.

My friend's dad is a parts manager at a local toyota dealership and if i'm nice, I get stuff at cost

I also get ads from my local toyota dealerships with discounts on them for oil filters

about 3-4 k... and us toyota oil filters.

around 4-5k with synthetic

lol, nice

Depends on which fram you buy. The Fram i get has a higher pass efficiency than the Toyota Ones.
Fram Tuff Guard 99%
Toyota 98%

I got my oil filter from the dealership...8 bucks + buy 3 get 3 for free from pepboys. hahah...all in all it cost me less than 20 bucks to change my oil.

3000miles

5k all the time, since i never gets to 5months b4 5k mile..drives a lot..uses PureOne with 99% filtration..cost me 3bucks..so about $25 with DIY..

anyone use those Engine Restorer stuff?? i think it work, i used it on my gf's 91 toyo corolla..it idle betta now..i'm thinking of using it on my celi when my next oil change come around which will be soon..any review/comments on this "Engine Restorer" product?? seen them on car magazine at auto service shop..

I dunno about you guys, but when I got to Autozone, Pepboys, Kragen, and etc. and I see those bottles that has colorfull ass pictures and states that it will do "this" or "that" for my car, I hella want to buy it. Do you know which one actually work, or if any? I remember posting about ZMax back in the day, but a lot of folks said that did not work.

about every 4 months - the synthetic oil helps out a lot when its -50 , your car has a better chance of starting.. not that thats an issue in CA

hahaha... gtaintsobad... i poste that pic in your avatar about a year ago to laugh at that guy.

yeah, thats "the real beavis" he was caught when he broke into someone's house and was dancing arround in the guys wifes clothing - all class with that guy
