 TOYOTA OWNERS! Please NEVER Do THIS to Your Toyota! Sumopsis: Toyota with 180k miles needs engine rebuild. Oil was changed every 10k miles as stated in the manual. All other regular maintenance performed. Blow-by started at 130k miles. Dirty, worn out oil kills engines. |

I try to change oil around 4-5K miles. Truck is around 4K because I do some towing with it. Car is 95% highway driving so I let it go 5K. That 7-10K mile oil change for most is probably less than 2 routine oil changes per year at those interval periods.

When the Toyota warning light comes on at 4500 I'll keep rolling until it is convenient. Using good oil and filter, not concerned at that interval. We have a 500-600 mile road trip coming up and we're at 4700ish on this change...I think I'll let it ride until we get back.
ETA: other truck gets it at 5-6k, it's old and gets the shit beaten out of it plus not driven often, less than two changes per year. That's still likely more than necessary. |

Toyota and their oil control rings.
I've a 1ZZ-FE 2001 Corolla and that engine is notorious for the oil control rings to get carboned up. Then you get massive oil consumption. The four drain-back holes behind the ring is too small and either needs to be drilled out larger or a new version of the piston installed upon rebuild. The interim solution is to change the oil religiously no more than 4k miles on my particular engine. I haven't had an issue with oil consumption yet, but I'm waiting. |

My 2019 scatpack charger has her oil changed every 6K and that's using pennzoil platinum 0W40.

The anesthesiologist for my last procedure drove a 20+ year old shitbox with no AC and broken passenger side windows, he didn't care about AZ summers because the house he rented was a mile from the hospital and even if the car had AC it wouldn't cool down in time... so it's definitely possible. Strong hippy vibe from that one. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I’m feeling spicy tonight. I want someone to explain to me why engine oil needs to be changed every 5000 miles or 150 hours. Which ever comes first in your world. In my world we would always change the oil during the DOT inspection every 25 to 30k miles or 3 months per company guidelines . Some trucks would run 30k+ a month slip seating some sat most of the time but got changed at 3 months. Some say the oil will turn acidic or collect moisture. I have personaly seen a Volvo d13 rusty on all the rockers and a couple of others as well. But idk. Eta my 97 camry v-6 had 288k on it when I sold it 2 years ago and changed the oil every 10k also the a/c still worked great. |

Looks like the 2AR-FE, which was originally speced for 5k changes, even with 0w20.
I've got a 2011 TC with the same engine, but dealer says it's good for a 10k interval. Or 6 months. I do it every 6 months which is between 5 and 6k for me, as I have 2 free changes a year for life. The previous gen 2AZ had major oil consumption issues due to poor ring design. But the 2AR rarely consumes oil in comparison. Many 2ARs are run on the 10k interval without issue, so it's probably something else. But I still don't trust 10k intervals |

I’m guessing you’re running a good dose of biodiesel out there to get corrosion going on like that and the collection of moisture. If I may ask, what sort of application? We change it about the same intervals. It’s a little “early” from my oil sampling data. But I personally want my trucks gone over every other month and greased. If they’re in the shop for a day, there’s enough downtime to change the oil too. As 4 month drain intervals probably is a bit long for our application. I have some slip seat trucks going 75k miles on oil change intervals. Line hauling steel. |

I can see the real experts are already here, almost hunting over bait.
Oil analysis is key if you want to keep a car over 200k. I've had cars/trucks that absolutely needed shorter intervals and ones that could be stretched far beyond OEM recommendations. I have a pretty good track record of getting 300k out of engines, but very much guided by analysis, and typically using a the "lightest", high flowing oil possible. |

Thanks for your input into these threads, I almost always learn something from your contribution. I just spent all week out in CA with a major oil company. I’m getting appointed to their technical advisory board. So I’m on PST and just landed back in OH - so EST. Might be mid night. But feels like 9pm for me. Alright so let’s look at this from the lowest common denominator. Assuming you’re using an oil that *barely* meets spec - some group 2 / group 3 synthetic blend, SN+ oil that you’ve had hanging around for a while. No name brand. If you’re depleting the ad pack in 150 hours - you have a contamination issue. Either you had previously developed sludge. Or you have a mechanical issue that’s destroying your oil. Every oil is a compromise. Just, where is the compromise at. You have X amount of space for anti wear additives to attach to the metals. You have Y amount of space for the corrosion inhibitors to attach to the metals. You have Z amount of space for the viscosity modifiers to attach to the metals. Basically, they all share the same space. But you only have so much space. So you’re going to trade off - compromise - one for the other somewhere. Thus minor differences. However in the gasoline engine world, the spec box is so tight the compromises are set by the oem. Not by the oil manufacturers. In this case, having heavy cylinder wall wear, to me, points to a mechanical failure / engine design issue. That amount of scuffing to the walls means you’re going to have a ton of contamination in the oil. Which, no amount of oil changing will fix. The mechanical issue needs to be addressed first, or the wear is going to get worse and the sooner the oil will fail. So it’s not a “change your oil more often” thing - as you’re putting a bandaid on a gunshot wound. You need to diagnose why you’re having the failure first. Which, if I had to guess on those cylinders - probably some sort of engine imbalance issue or some sort of oil delivery failure. That’s the engine builder / designer issue. Not an oil issue. Full synthetic, synthetic blend, whatever - wouldn’t of helped. At 5000 or 10000 mile change intervals. Wouldn’t of helped. You might have went 10-15% further. But the mechanical issue was still going to be there. |

So I’d like a second data point. If a quarter of your crank case is fuel, so approx 1.5qts - that’s a shit load of fuel. You have a ring issue or piston issue that’s causing you to make oil. Edit: Your oil would be condemned at this point. Way out of viscosity range. |
