fuck em, most people don't understand how engine oil change intervals are even calculated. It's all based off of run time. If the engine for example is rated at 166.66 hours between oil changes they assume a constant speed of 60mph and multiply that by the hours to get a 10000 mile interval. If you actually keep track of your engine hours you'd know your average speed is not even close to 60mph and hit 150 hours between 2500-3000 miles. People changing at 10,000 miles don't realize the amount of engine hours makes it equal to like a 40,000 mile oil change.
I used to think modern synthetic oil could go like 7k or 8k miles, but then I started to notice that every single person with 400k+ miles on an engine had one thing in common. They changed the oil every 3k miles or maybe 4k at the most, with full synthetic. The anecdotal data I’ve seen is overwhelming. I do my own oil changes so it’s cheap. Supertech full synthetic and oem Toyota filter for $26 total.
@joshmiller2725 yea I was going to do 5000 miles on my two Hondas, but then I discovered how cheap it is to do yourself using supertech. Every 3 to 3.5 thousand miles now. I enjoy it too so it's no big deal at all
This is the outcome of not listening to know it all on RUclips that say use amsoil change your oil every 45,000 miles 😂🤦🏽♂️ KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BROTHER!
Your profile name matches the condition of the top head of your engine, looks golden as fuck. I'm running shell rotella t5 10w30 in my IS300 2jz every 3000k
@@fandechavalones3022 Do you really think he puts 30,000 miles on his car every year? Do the math - 1997 Corolla with 229k on it = about 9.5k per year. He most surely does not wait until 30,000 miles between changes, as nobody should
@waholoopesorry74 I only owned the car for 6 years . Bought it with 112k miles. Sold shortly after this video with 245k miles. The guy that bought it is up to 290k miles. He delivers pizza with it in the Poconos area in Pennsylvania.
I change my Tundra oil every 3k as well full synthethic the Dealership laughed at me but i dont give a damn its my truck not theirs.
It's usually foolish people that laugh at that kind of thinking, oil is cheaper than a new engine

The proof is opening up the valve covers . Then you can really see the difference.
💪🏽💯 u inspired me to change from 5k to 3k starting today! THANKS! 🙏🏽👍🏽

Lol thanks. That cars up to 245k miles. Just bought a mint 1994 dx 1.8 with 104k miles for $1800. 3k to 5k oil changes on all of our cars.
Best thing you can do with direct injection engines.
Do you have any oil leaks from any gaskets or seals from the engine and if so at what mileage or year?
do you change transmission fluid too or leave it alone ?
Yes. I do drain & fills annually on atf fluid. We drive a lot though.
@@goldentrucker7921 like 30,000 or sooner ?

@@goldentrucker7921 awesome
The distance is shown in kilometers not in miles. So this is a little deceiving. Still changin it at 5000 km is the best to keep car running for ever.
No this is in miles. We don't use kilometers in pennsylvania lol
Lol 100% wrong
@@goldentrucker7921👍👍
Still clean
The km/h you're seeing is for the small numbers. The big numbers are miler/hour. On US cars, the odometers shows miles traveled.
