I got a 4RUNNER 04 and it's 19900 miles. I had my last oil changed 1/24/07. Supposedly, I'm due for an oil change on 21,000 miles. I rarely use my vehichle coz I live close to my work which is just 200 meters away. I drive it on my trips for shopping or weekend activities.
What should I follow?|||stay with the every 3000 miles or 3 months because even though you don't use that car often the oil will still loose its viscosity and will not protect your engine properly.|||Every 6 months or 5,000 miles. I have a 2006 Toyota Camry. They called me for oil change in August of last year when I had the car 6 months. When I took car in, only had 2800 miles on it. They did oil change and said 6 months or 5000 miles. Said the oil starts to break down after 6 months. So, I have had 2 oil changes now and only have 4200 miles on car now.|||do it every 3 months or 6000km|||A conservative approach would be every 3 - 3.5 K miles or every 3 months.|||If you don't use the vehicle much the oil it does not care whether its in a can or in an engine, it does not deteriorate, follow Toyota's recommended oil change interval, I believe its 6 months or 7000 km.
