[QUOTE="FocalPoint, post: 1488899, member: 2732"] Sorry computer was down for over a week. Gogogo, second time around a minimum of half bottle Tufoil for your Toyota Corolla is alright. Some Mercedes workshop mechanics who use Tufoil in their own cars change oil at 10,000 - 15,000 km. This is not something to be recommended. For our own cars, we change at 5,000 -6,000 km with semi or full synthetics.The engine may still be purring and incredibly smooth and perky and we are reluctant to let the old oil out but we change it nevertheless. 4G13T, you can continue to use your trusted mineral oil with Tufoil. And when budget permits, you may want to upgrade to a lower viscosity oil, say a 15W and see and feel if there is a difference.Otherwise stick to mineral.Always, check oil dipstick level when you switch brands or viscosities. We heard of stories of some office managers who trusted their RM 170.00 synthetics to go 10,000 km and ended up with bearing failure and a burnt head gasket for their engines suffered from oil consumption plus high oil evaporation.To them, since their cars clock ony 10,000 km a year, they think or budgetted for only a single oil change a year and forgetting or not knowing how to check the dipstick oil level.
