52000 MILES OF OIL CHANGES

I have owned my truck for almost 14 months and have over 54000 miles on it. It’s time for some recycling! All of these containers were filled with oil out of the 3rd gen. The dealer did two changes. I don’t know why I saved them but it’s time to get rid of them!

 

I'm the same way. I put the old oil back into the empty container, and am always too lazy to go recycle them, so they sit in my shed. Plus I have three cars, so it's a whole lotta oil! I probably have 8 gallons of used oil sitting in my shed. Likely going to consolidate into a couple buckets for easier transport.

 

We heat our local dump with used motor oil, so I just bring it there. Maybe you have something like that?

 

Most places around here have a daily limit on how much you can recycle.

 

I pour some into a tuna can and also some gas. Use it as an easy start for the fire pit. Set the can down,add wood,toss match. Makes a nice starter w/o having to do all the kinlding,chopping stuff.

 

That's a lot of driving in 14 months!

 

63k miles on my 17PRO

Oil has only been changed at 12k and 20k

Current oil is 43k miles old in the truck

 

It might be cheaper for you to buy them by the barrel! That's a lot of miles.

How often do you change the oil. That seems like a lot of jugs even for the miles you've got.

 

ummm....ok... Seems like there are better ways to spend your money than on a new motor for a new truck, but what do I know?

 

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that he's joking.

 

Nah, oil changes are a scam anyways.

 

I'm here since the "How do you afford this stuff" Thread was locked.

 

That thread made it 3 days longer than I thought it would.

 

Oil level is fine and checked weekly
No new motor is necessary

 

Damn, you're lucky. I only get maybe 100 miles before I have to add a quart to top off.

 

That right there is the main reason I've not changed my own oil in 20 years.

 

Really? I have never been low in my Taco or wifey's Subie.

 

My 3.5L minivan motor doesn’t burn oil

Neither does my 235k mile 2.7L on my 02. Then again that gets yearly oil changed, and gets 2500 miles a year

 

Hell no, that'd be terrible. @PROseur is trolling so I thought I'd go along with it too.

edit: 181k miles on my 05 and doesn't burn a drop of oil

 

I am not trolling

My PRO goes back to Toyota at 36 months

2 oil changes were free

Why pay more for oil changes?

I am trying to burn up the clutch, but haven’t been successful
