Mechanics also tell you to change your oil every 3k miles. frick that noise, you can go a minimum of 5k. I use synthetic and I go about 8k between oil changes on a vehicle with 130k on it; all highway though.


This.

DIY for $25-$35 or go to an oil change place and get changed for $50-$75.

i get $19 oil change specials in the mail from the local toyota dealer here like every other month.

not worth my time doing it myself for $20.

people who go to jiffy lube are the suckers.

Mobile one synthetic. Change once every 7,500 and runs like a champ
