Fully synthetic oil can be used for 10,000 kms with the usual change of oil filter every 5,000 kms.
"Ordinary engine oil" is called Mineral oil. Mineral oil cost about a quarter what fully synthetic oil goes for. Mineral oil needs to replaced/changed every 5,000 kms.
For the 10,000 kms service, the only thing that needs to be replaced are: Motor oil and oil filter. That's all.
Innova VVT-i (engine code: 1TR-FE) only requires less than 6 liters of oil. Kindly check the owner's manual for the exact figure. The casas are fond of overfilling the engine with oil by using up the 6 liters.
