30K Mobil 1 0-20 advanced fuel economy
My oil change intervals
2500 5000 7500 10K 15k 20k 25K ( 10K &20K DEALER) and today 6/30 30K. I will keep it at 5K intervals. I do my own oil changes so I get more than two oil changes for the price of going to a dealership and waiting there forever easy Peezy.! It takes longer to take the skid plate off/on then the oil change itself!

I use mobil 1 full synthetic. I change oil every 5000 miles, just my opinion if anybody cares.

If you arent aware of what turbos do to oil then you dont know anything about them.

Kirkland 0w20 every 10k as toyota recommends. I rather trust toyota engineers than youtubers who are street mechanics.

fwiw

this is not 'just a turbo' toyota slapped on a 4cyl to make more beans....
there is a ton of work built into the engine, head, cooling, crankcase ventilation... to baby that turbo.

however

10,000 is pushing it imho. 5000 is more ideal for a 4cyl engine and it is
not the turbo to be worried bout, it is the rings and oil burning. you want the
rings to stay clean so they don't stick and your motor becomes an oil burner,
turbo or not.

if this was a 6cyl... 10,000 is no problem at all. 4 cyl...eh, I'm doing 5000
