I use Mobil one in Canada when it goes on sale synthetic 0W20 10 k intervals 13 yr old corolla 1.8 and 15 yr old tundra 5.7 350 k and 320 km ; no oil consumption work great
Best Engine oil for Toyota Corolla
i honestly have no way to prove if it works, but i started using it in my ‘98 corolla about 20k mi ago (known for burning oil due to flawed piston design) and have noticed a significantly lower oil consumption rate, which was almost 2qts every 5k down to less than half
Have a 2016 Corolla ZR. Have only done oil changes, bought the car at 49Kms its now 105ks. Only thing ive ever need doing is oil.
I had an 05 Corolla, it was my Amsoil testbed. After the first two oil changes for break in at 800 and 10k, only one oil change per year, 20-30k miles. Amsoil oil and filters.
My 05 Corolla had one oil change at 800 miles, one at 10,000 miles, and then once per year for 14 years until it was totalled at 330k miles.
Perhaps using a lower weight, full synthetic engine oil would build pressure faster and reduce the noise.
I have a 2016 Corolla and just had the oil changed at dealership at 188000 km. Worked out for me.
Just threw some into my Corolla with around 200k on it. Always used standard 5/0W-20s in it and last time I was inside of it there was some light depositing and varnish, nothing crazy but it runs like a well-kept 200k mile engine. Seems to have alleviated a little bit of lifter tick in the 500-700 miles that it’s been in there so far. Seems like a good and high quality oil overall.
MOTUL 8100 ECO-LITE 5W-30: Don't let the name fool you, it's not actually that great for fuel economy compared to some others with a lower KV. With a TBN of 8.5, VI of 166 and KV of 11.4, this is one of the best 5W-30 oils you can get. This is leaning more towards a higher performance oil rather than focusing on fuel econ. The high TBN means you can get away with longer OCIs as well. I am personally using this in our 1.8L Corolla at home and the car runs smoothly and quietly and still gives us a good fuel average (for our use case), so I can't complain.
Brought it in for 5k ToyotaCare at the dealership I bought it from. Used wrong engine oil (at least they listed wrong on the service sheet but promised they did use 0w20) - GRC is only model where 5k or 6 month oil changes are standard. 2500 miles if driven hard. Fucked up the trans oil I asked them to change - used wrong oil type. Fucked up tcase and rear diff oils. Found oil spilled on some pieces of the subframe. Of the 2 test drives they did doing the warranty covered alignment they had 10+ drive pulse hard acceleration /braking/cornering alerts on both 4 mile drives. I changed the engine oil, trans, tacsee, rear diff, cleaned oil they spilt after picking it back up. They said they'd corrected their errors only after I got Toyota corporate involved. I didn't trust them to do anything so corrected all myself.
