Synthetic oil change every 10k?

You make s up as you go. If you are feeling grit in the oil, your cylinders are scored..

 

Hahaha

Mad much? Don't let some people online let you get so upset! Lol.

 

I change mine every 1k miles with pure virgin olive oil. Been doing this for the past 40 years.

EDIT: I am kidding

 

These images have been posted elsewhere on TW.

Sticking your head in the sand sure doesn't help. This former owner swore that he changed his oil twice a year whether it needed it or not. I have never seen this amount of sludge clogging up a oil pickup screen like this. I acquired this 2.7 3RZ FE last summer and did a teardown.

 

Your rationale: Manufacturers are idiots, I'll change my oil twice as often. Everyone who disagrees is a childish idiot with second grade reading comprehension.

That about sum it up? Kewl.

 

Me thinks something else was happening. That's pretty bad. You could run a long time and not change the oil before it would look like that

 

Doubt if oil was changed as reported. Witnessed a teardown of a 3 year old engine with approx. 50k on it without an oil change from new. Didn't look as bad as that!

 

Ummm your first few oil changes should be free.. you may want to check back into that

 

It seems simple to me.

Cars need oil changes. if you don't want to do it, don't it is your vehicle. The rest of us should follow the maintenance schedule.

 

The facts do not lie and that is a shame. May it serve as a warning to others who don't think about changing their oil.

 

Every forum has it's oil discussions and usually run for many, many posts until they get out of hand and moderator shuts them down only to start up a little later under a slightly different name. The motorcycle oil threads are particularly entertaining. You get the guys that follow manufactures recommendations being chastised by the guys that change oil after every ride and everything in between. And of course there are endless oil brand (Rotella vs everything) and viscosity discussions.

 

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum for the win!

 

What is the win???

 

Being pleased with your oil selection, i guess.

For me, super tech for the win! and

My tacoma is a rusty pile of shit for the loss!

 

I'll drink to that!

 

You don’t need a torque wrench if you installed a Fumoto valve for the drain plug.

 

I like Amsoil oil and filters, and I change every 10k miles. on my 19 TRD Sport and 17 Lexus. Just my input but everyone is different.
