synthetic oil change interval v8
I have a 2004 4runner with a v8 and 145,xxx miles my wife has an 2006 sequoia with 59,xxx miles.....i've decided to switch them both over to full synthetic motor oil....that said I have several friends who use full synthetic and only change their oil every 10k miles.....their oil analysis says the oil is good at 10k.....do any of y'all see any problems going 10k between oil changes.....any and all opinions are wanted and thank you....Chris

I think you'll be fine with 10K OCI under normal driving conditions. If you happen to tow a lot or heavy, I'd probably reduce that interval a bit. You could also look at replacing the oil filter at 5k. Either way, I think you'll be good to go.

I change at around 8k but I'd have no concerns about going a bit higher. Been using Mobil 1 0w-30.

Drop synthetic in both then change it at 5k and do a blackstone labs analysis at the same time. Should tell you a lot about oil change intervals for YOUR vehicle and what's recommended for YOUR driving habits. That is what I would do anyway.

My Honda only needed a filter every other change with regular oil (so about every 10-12k miles). A good filter should be fine for the whole time. You could consider a larger filter if you think you need more filtration.

Thank y'all so much......by my calculations synthetic should actually be cheaper in the long run while using a much better product.....sounds like a win win to me ☺

synthetic oil change interval v8
I change my 4R when the light comes on which I believe is a ~7,500mi interval. I also do a 5 wheel rotation then, and lube the drive shaft. I'm sure I could go longer, but it's inexpensive insurance.

Some sound advice right here!

I like your system, if or when I get new tires I will get 5 instead of 4 and adopt the same practice! I also change my oil when the maintenance light comes on ans run 5W30 full synthetic (whatever is on sale with a quality filter)

I want to see the 300k engine that used the 10k oil change interval.
