    The oil weight threads are my favorite.

    I just had my first service (8k kms) and was also shocked to find this out. I know technology has changed but I still feel like 16k kms is too long so had them do the oil change as well as I had service credits that paid for the oil change. I will continue to DIY every 8k kms. In the end I am really doing 1 extra oil change per year if I go by 8k. Cheap insurance if you ask me. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out a Toyota OE filter is only $7.61 CAD at the local parts dept. Lots of nice surprises coming from a Nissan Titan lol.

    Because I've seen how filthy the oil is at 10k miles. Forcing that dirty oil thru your engine will cause long term damage/wear.

    If you run a oil bypass filter system, oil can be changed at 20K miles with no ill effects.

    It's the dirt in the oil that does the damage.

    Nice anecdote, except we have Blackstone oil reports that provide empirical evidence to the contrary.

    You're entitled to your opinion but facts don't really care about them.

    My favorites are the ones where the guy buys 5w20 on sale and then people scare him into returning it for full priced 0w20.

    If Blackstone did a full analysis it would be more usefull. They dont, they just tell you about your additives package and a few other metals/chemicals.

    Everyone should change theirs every 500 miles. It’s what we did when we bought our Fiat 503 new. Works great. Why change the interval when it doesn’t feel right, no?

    here is a challenge. Find a Blackstone analysis that condemns the oil and recommends a shorter interval next time.

    There are analysis out there that do this, but find one from Blackstone. Then tell me what is probable.

    As for oil change intervals to the OP

    Use your gas mileage as a indicator of service if your average gas mileage is lower that is an indicator of more severe service and a need for shorter intervals.
