To the forum,
I've read and heard that when you get your new car from the dealer, it's advisable to do an oil change during it's break-in period? Think I've heard / read that after the first 500 miles to change the oil, and then resume at the normal intervals of 5K miles / 6 months using the recommended synthetic oil? Is the early oil change at 500 miles bunk, or is it really needed prior to 5K miles? Get it - oil's cheap and engines aren't. I'm sure the car dealer's gonna make up some nonsense that you can wait till 10K - and that's totally not going to happen on my watch.
Thanks!
Why the down vote @us_redtape? It tells you right in there.
Please see page 148 of your owner's manual for the correct break in procedure. Thank you and you're welcome.
Follow the directions in your owners manual.
IIRC, I can’t believe the new Corolla hybrid is a 10,000 mile oil change. Even for the first one!!!
We will find out in a few years, if these extended oil changes are ok, or if they are bunk.
I know some old school folks, that err on the side of caution,
