I'm keeping it forever-No seriously-I mean it-For real!(2020 Nightshade 4Runner) New polls often!

I typically do it at 6,497

 

I drive a manual. Do it at 5k.

 

See that’s the thing. In the ‘13 manual I saw there was no distinction between miles & kilometres. Said 5k for both which still doesn’t make sense. I change mine every 5k just to keep things honest but that’s a hell of a difference in the long run.

 

Fug it! Live dangerously. A cop would have to be pretty bored to pull you over for rear ambers. Mine have been permanently mounted for 1 1/2 years with no issues. I did find the statutes for vehicle lighting .......if you're bored.

The part about rear ambers states they can legally be used for back-up lights. Put 'em on.

Too many good teardown videos on YouTube showing the difference in engines at 180,000 mi with one of them being 10,000 mile changes and one of them being 5,000 mile changes.

Oil changes are cheap. Engine replacement is not

I mean at the end of the day to each their own but as was mentioned above by someone, most people technically qualify for extreme running conditions given start and stop traffic, parking outside in the cold etc etc

 

Absolutely. A week of excessive idle and/or subzero temps makes oil fouling in no time flat. Parking indoors then makes it even worse. I remember the first time I ever saw my oil cap all gummed up & almost freaked until I understood what was goin’ on.

 

Manuals are for weenies. CVTs are far superior.

 

How ..... How did you know I was trading my TRD OR for a Rogue .....

 

I thought it was a Versa

 

Well you are the local Nissan fanboy so it makes sense

 

Do you even keep a vehicle long enough to do an oil change?

 

I change oil in my truck and the wife's Pilot once a year, which works out to about a 5000 mile interval on the truck and a 3000 mile interval on the Pilot. The Corolla I do on 5000 mile intervals as well, which is about every year to 14 or 15 months.

 

I asked Toyota about that in regards to the Corolla and they told me it was only for taxis, essentially.

 

I'm on the 1yr, full synthetic, train. (which never reaches 5k in a year)

 

Larry's middle name is Danger.

Oh..They're going on...they are on....just going to wire them independently, instead.

 

I do mine every 10k with amsoil signature. Never had any issues

if I did 5k I’d be doing it like every other month which seems excessive

 

Do the filter every 5k.

 

That's what the manual says.

 

Maybe if I had a second gen with the filter on top

These canister filters are stupid
