The Oil maintenance reminder is????
there are two types of Driving conditions, as well periods of storage and use? Only you know your condition?
Options to change:
5K change oil and filter
5k change oil only, at 10Kchange Oil and filter
10 change oil and filter
this is for regular Oil not synthetic which is a longer life oil, less changing. So if you put in synthetic oil does oil changing differ?
I change out again to your driving........
I was an owner of a Mistu Starion ESI every 3K 20-50 reguardless

Ehhhhh ... for me, general rule of thumb is:
3,000 for dino oil
5,000 for synthetic blend
10,000 for full synthetic.
And the filter is the cheapest part and one of the most critical ones. I don't see the idea behind dumping $30 in oil and sparing a $5 oil filter, other than laziness.
Also, never use anything less than what is recommended for your engine, meaning, if full synthetic is recommended, ONLY use full synthetic.
If synthetic blend is recommended, you can use that or full synthetic, but don't use dino oil.
Personally, I always use synthetic.
If you are towing or racing, change it more often (but since this is a Corolla, probably safe sticking with what I posted above).
In my '08 Matrix, I did full synthetic changes every 5,000 miles anyway, and there was 0 sludge in the engine after 75,000 miles of hard driving. You can't change it too much ... but you CAN change it too little, and damage the engine severely.

On the Toyota 2010 S, I own and in the Owners manual:
Engine Bay , on engine cap first and top oil is SAE05-20, below is SAE0W-20. On Section 6 Oil talk, use SAE05-20 or SAE 0W-20.
Oil the 05 is heavier, the O is lighter, Winter conditions you use the lowest number possible. in extreme conditions, you use the higher number possible.
Motor oil recommendated Toyota brand.
As noted!
2013 Toyota corolla S I own Manual. It is OW-20, and if want to use SAE 05-W20..
As newer grade oils made, 05 was the lightest around. now O is the lightest. I wonder if -5 will be the next????
For schedule changes 10k intervals are noted in the manual. I believe can not locate on a so -so manual.
No where does it state to use only. it states to use "OR" and that is your choice.
Each vehicle manufacturer will offer you their choice of schedules. visit your Toyota dealer and take advantage of their Toyota care pkg.
FISH!
