Pit stop )! — Toyota Corolla, 1.6 liter, 2005
I completely forgot, another week has already flown by since I changed the oil! Ten thousand kilometers flew by unnoticed with the vacation, and the time has come.
Changed it myself in a friend's garage. I bought Castrol Magnatec 5W-30 oil from Exist.ru in Belgorod for 1400 rubles and I don’t remember the original Toyota oil filter, but not more than 260 rubles
. While fogging of the right drive seal is a concern, it is necessary to change it for the future. And so everything is normal, we continue to move)!
Castrol Magnatec 5W-30 Is it synthetic? It seems that I poured such a thing into Focus, good. Previously, I didn’t know what an anther was if hemorrhoids did not happen on C5. Roofing felts were bitten by rats, or caught on something, which is unlikely, in general, they changed one front left one for me.
On C5, an oil filter costs a little more than 500 rubles, but on your Tosya the price is tolerable)

Like synthetic? I fill it in as 5W-30 is written in the operation book, and yesterday I rode anthers in Teriberka, a primer with stones, such blows from flying pebbles were sometimes on the body, I will have to check everything again! As for the price, maybe a special filter for diesel? or just the officials tear up the money, they like to charge a good deal, you need to see how much it costs in Existe)
It is strange that on a modern car there is such a short schedule for replacing engine oil, Ford has 20t / km! And on diesel engines!
Yes, Toyota gives 10 thousand km. for oil, but I myself am a supporter of frequent oil changes! It seems to me that these runs of 20 and even 30 thousand on one oil are nothing more than a marketing ploy, such as warranty service is cheaper, you come less often, come to us! As a result, during the warranty period, the car quietly passes 100 and even 150 thousand km. and then the grass does not grow, the guarantee is over, throw it in the trash) or a capital engine, but this will no longer be a problem for dealers! Here one can argue that such as modern oils, additives, etc., but
the engine is an engine, there are temperature loads, and lubrication of the cylinder walls, combustion products, oxidation processes ... in general, it’s better to change the oil more often, Tosya runs even more fun after that)!
P.S. When I changed the oil it was black.
