Engine oil type and frequency of oil changes

Asked by ConfusedToyotaOwner Feb 21, 2019 at 03:52 PM about the 2014 Toyota Corolla S

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

What type of engine oil is best for winter and
summer and how many miles (or kms) should it be
changed. The owners manual recommends 0W20
but states that 5W20 can be used if 0W20 is not
available which makes me think 5W20 is
acceptable year round. Toyota says it should be
checked every 8000km but can be changed at
16,000 km for 0W20. Thanks.

5W20 will work just fine especially if you live south of the arctic circle. If you care about your car change the oil every 5,000 miles.
