The engine oil should be changed at least every 3,000 miles on a 1985 Toyota Tercel. An automobile this old should also have the oil and air filters changed at the same time for the motor to run move efficiently.
Change it every 90,000 miles.
Don't know about 97 but my 95 Tercel with 5EFE gets between 42 to 44 mpg

Every 5000 miles, is when I do it on mine.
Check the operation of the oil pump.
A quarter of a million miles if you treat her right
Around 144k. You can fiqure around the average od 10 to 12k miles per year.
its in the owners manual but if memory serves 5w30 is the reccomended oil. ive found that brands dont seem to matter much as long as you change the oil frequently(3000 miles or so)
It is recommended at 90000 miles before major problems result from not changing it
To be assured of a long engine life change timimg belt a least every 120,000 miles.If it where mine it would be changed at 90,000 to 1000,000 miles at minimum. Toyo joe
