Default Oil Change, synthetic or regular?

I had my first oild change when it had 3k miles and I did synthetic oil change.

Recently. I did my second oil change when it had 7850 miles but I did regular oil change at the toyota dealer.

The guy at the workshop said there is no problem changing to regular.

I personally don't think there is a problem to my engine as when you change oil, you rake out the old used oil and replace them with new clean oil and they are not mixed.

Do you know the facts about this? Can change to and from synthetic and regular back and forth?

I did regular change this time cos synthetic costs more.
I don't feel any problem and my car runs very smooth still like before.
Transmission oil change is done only every 30k miles right?
I can see the engine oil hook in the hood to check my engine oil, but where is the one to check transmission oil?
Do you ever put some transmission oil sometimes to check and see if it's law?

Thanks

You've asked the same question at least five times.
Are you serious about these questions or do you ask these questions for the fun of it?


READ the MANUAL

the question was answered MANY times

you have to use synthetic oil
you don't have to change the transmission fluid at 30,000 miles
the manual has a maintenance schedule indicating the frequency of fluid changes and the recommended fluids

those are the answers

Many people come here with questions, and there are lots of others willing to help. But when you ask the same questions over and over, it's hard to take you seriously.

The questions you've posted include:
"what means MAINT REQRED SOON?"
"what's ROTATE TIRE?"
"transmision oil change for TCH?"
"Oil Change, synthetic or regular? "
"how to change engine oil by urself? "

Some topics, such as how to change engine oil by "urself" are a little extreme. An internet discussion board is not the best place to learn car maintenance, and you're risking damage to your car and injury to yourself and others if you take on the project with absolutely no previous experience. But you still were given detailed answers and instructions.

On every one of those threads you got a multitude of answers from people trying to help you out, along with suggestions that you read the manual as most of the answers are there. It's time to grow up and do your homework yourself instead of copying off the other kids in class.

Just a thought...has anyone considered that English may not be Jimmy1's first language?

Yes. Doesn't change my answer. If you don't understand English well enough to read the manual or understand answers given here, it's time to find a different resource.

I had considered that English may not be Jimmy's first language as well which is why I was trying to help as best as I could.
