Keep your vehicle reliable with a Toyota oil change

Toyotas are beloved for many reasons, with one of the main ones being reliability. Known for their ability to “just keep swimming,” Toyotas are considered fairly low maintenance. Having said that, it's still important to ensure that your hatch, sedan or SUV gets a fresh top up of oil whenever it needs it if you want it to live up to its reputation.

And with mycar, that’s easy. With a range of flexible payment options like Afterpay and Zip Pay, and workshops always close by, you never need to put off that oil change!

When should I change my Toyota synthetic oil?

Toyota recommends the synthetic oil in their vehicles be replaced every six months or every 10,000-15,000km, whichever comes sooner. Specifics will vary based on your vehicle so it is important to check your designated maintenance schedule.

Signs that you need to change your oil include an increase in fuel consumption, rough idling and less power than usual. Your Toyota may also notify you that it needs a service, but this depends on the model and whether you've done close to the recommended maximum kilometres.

How much oil does a Toyota need?

The specific answer to this question will depend on which model Toyota you own. As a general rule, most Toyotas will require between 4L and 7L of engine oil for a service.

All mycar servicing packages include up to 6L of premium oil, so you don't have to worry about any extra charges popping up on this front.

How often does Toyota recommend oil changes?

The Toyota engine oil change interval for vehicles running synthetic oil is once a year or between 10,000km and 15,000km. Because of this, how often a Toyota oil change is needed will depend on your driving habits. It’s important to note that the Toyota synthetic oil change interval is longer than it is for older vehicles running mineral oil, so be sure to check what your car takes.

Gearboxes need oil too, so you should also take note of your Toyota gearbox oil change interval which will be every two to four years, or every 50,000km to 80,000km depending on the model.

Can you put regular oil in a Toyota?

While using regular (mineral) oil in your engine won't necessarily damage it, you will need to change it more often and it doesn’t provide as much protection for your engine as synthetic oil. This means you'll be spending more on servicing your vehicle more regularly and won't be reaping any benefits. For this reason, we recommend only using regular oil in vehicles that specifically require it.
