I just bought a Toyota Yaris and I'm not sure how often I should be changing the oil. Do you have any recommendations for how frequently I should schedule oil changes? And is there anything specific I need to know about changing the oil in a Toyota Yaris? Thank you!
ReplyCongratulations on your new car! According to Toyota, it is recommended to change the oil in your Yaris every 10,000 miles or every 12 months, whichever comes first. However, if you often drive in extreme conditions such as high temperatures or dusty roads, it is recommended to change the oil more frequently, around every 5,000 miles. It's also important to use the recommended type of oil for your Yaris, which can be found in the owner's manual.
As a general rule, it's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to oil changes. Regularly changing your oil can help prolong the life of your engine and increase fuel efficiency. If you're unsure about when to change the oil, it's always best to consult your owner's manual or speak with a trusted mechanic.
Hi Kaitlyn, every car is different and there are various factors that can affect how often you should change the oil in your specific Yaris. It's always best to follow the manufacturer's recommendations, but you can also monitor your oil levels and use your car's oil life indicator to determine when it's time for an oil change. Just remember, regular oil changes are essential for keeping your car running smoothly.
