    I use Mobil 1 in my 2013 Sport. I have a Corolla I use to run around in so I don't put a lot of miles on my Tacoma. Should I change it every six months if I don't put the miles on? Thanks

    Go off the mileage not the time period.

    I don't use my Tacoma much either, I have a company vehicle I use everyday. So I go by the mileage, I think I change my oil 3 times a year...maybe

    Once a year or 5k miles.
    That's what I'd do.

    I was not sure if synthetic oil would be good for a year in the truck. Thanks
