No matter what oil just make sure you do changes every 3-5k and check it every fill up and you will be OK.

what risk? the oil is recomended to go 35k. if the oil isn't broken down, and the filter is able to contain contaminates then there is no need to change. show me proof that it's not ok. http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/sso.aspx

I just did an oil change on my 08 manual tc, i switched to Royal Purple 5w30 because of the extreme heat that i drive in, im in las vegas and drive to arizona normally its 105+ degrees outside, a heavier wieght oil offers more protection in hotter temps.

to who ever said the oil is good for 35k is correct, but the additives, protectants, detergents are not, those are the parts of the oil that clean and protect the engine during use. the oil part just lubricates, but engine oil does a lot more tehn lubricates.
the reason why they recomend 3-5k oil changes is because after that the detergents and what not start breaking down. theres special cemicals in the oil to control pH balence, antifoaming angents, blah blah blah. so to go 35k on the same oil is retarded.

To me, changing oil is a very cheep and inexpensive way to maintain proper working order of your car, its like putting gas in your car. You wouldn't want old worn out gas, sure it may still work, but not as well as new gas. And for me, oil is about as easy as gas, it just takes a little bit longer.

I myself use M1 and change it every 5k for the warranty purpose and the fact that I actually enjoy changing oil.
I think Amsoil is for people like my dad who isn't interested in cars and wants something that he can use the car doesn't have to get the oil change so often. He has his driver take the cars to the dealership.... you guessed it, every 70,000 km, and this is in southern China, where he is always stuck in traffic in over 100 degree Farenheight weather. The oil he uses is a synthetic oil by CPC. Needless to say, he only drives Toyotas.

do i just change the oil at the first 500 mile to remove engine shavings? heard the break in period causes a lot of shavings and other stuff. or is that just a rumor?
i dont like the idea of toyota factory organic oil in my car.....
can i just switch to full synthetic right away or use non-synthetic?
iv been hearing i should just use mobil 1 5000 for a while..

3,000-5,000 miles on conventional oil? before i switch to synthetic?
well i'm beginning to not care right now... i'll probably switch to royal purple at the 500 mile point and change ever 5k miles.
hopefully i'll gain something like 2-3 miles per gallon...

Should I change the oil every 3000 miles or continue with my regular oil change at 5000 miles?
