Oil Change Interval

Fair enough ... on Friday.

 

It’s a third gen and has no balls. Probably safe to assume it’s allergic to nuts.

 

"I’m sure there’s already one of these out here but sometimes creating new is easier than searching."



Now it's 76,201.

 

Thanks all and to the peanut gallery.

Some people are a little better at searches and more technology inclined than I

 

It’s all good…….some will simply complain about anything

 

some do 3k i dont know why its beyond me lol some do 5k , some do 6,500 coz its the"sweet spot " and some wait until 10k , welcome to tw

 

It is what makes these threads…

Well that is no fun

 

It is easy. Find the search icon. Click it. Type in oil change interval.

Don’t blame it on technology. Just admit you didn’t feel like doing it yourself.

at least now you have a few more posts.

And that peanut gallery is going to be the nuts that tell you what’s wrong with your truck when the time comes.

 

chill , op is a new member

 

The OP freely admitted "Searching is too much work. You do everything for me". Are you really surprised by some of the responses?

 

At least they didn't start it "Long time lurker, first time poster"

 

help a brother out

 

Helping is one thing, spoon feeding is another.

 

During my career we always had multiple professions represented around the dinner table in the firehouse…engineers, lawyers, doctors, etc. Also, there were always plenty of jackals, it’s just like this forum. Let it roll off your back. I agree the search function here is not intuitive.
Despite what at least one “engineer” posted, the 5K maintenance light is for tire rotation.
IMHO following the recommendations of Toyota, the people who designed, engineered, and built our trucks is the way to go.

 

While this is solid information…….

The Toyota owners manual determines the OCI requirement. It calls out for a 5k and a 10k interval……it’s all in black and white .

 

Okay, cool….B&W thanks I got it. Under varying conditions?
Also, I forgot to include the guys at the dinner table who always have to get in the last word/be right. I always theorized they were the ones who weren’t permitted to say much at home so they asserted themselves at work.

 

FWIW

here’s a Blackstone analysis on my 21OR with 40k. 10k oil change intervals after initial change at 500mi. Mobil1 0w20.

 

The solution for there being too many threads on a given topic is to create another thread on that very same topic. Obviously.

 

It’s worth a lot. Thanks for sharing that. Solid scientific info is soooooo much better than opinions!
