How About Those Mobil 1 20,000 Mile 5th Gen Oil Change Intervals ?
You can buy the oil. Why not?

It's your 4Runner, do what you want.
At the rate I'm going, it will take 20 years, to get to 20k miles. So I change my oil based on time, and how bored I am.

Just asking for trouble. What are you going to save? $50-100 per year? And that's if you are putting on some miles.

This! For the cost of a filter and the oil, it's not worth fooling around with.

The longer time between oil changes - the shorter life of the engine.

Mobîle recommends 20k or one year which ever comes first.
Kirkland full synthetic 0-20 has the same approval rating GM dexos1:GEN2 Licensed

I use the same Mobil1 Synthetic oil and still change it between 5-7k kms. Think of your engine oil as the life blood of your engine. This is cheap and very easy preventative maintenance, especially if you plan to keep it for many years to come, it will be worth it in the long run more so.

I use synthetic and change it every 10K miles. Already have 310K miles on a September 2014 SR 5.

You only drive 1000 miles per year? I ride my bike a lot more than that. Have you thought about an electric bicycle?

About 1k a year on the 4Runner. Much more when the mileage I put on each vehicle is combined.
14 vehicles total. I'm looking to thin the herd.

Take this from a Range Rover owner. Just because the manual says the OCI is 15k miles, doesn’t mean you should…

Same here, since Covid I have been driving less and less, and even less since going full remote for work. Last year I changed right at 5K, this year I've only put like 2K miles on in a year because we take my wife's car more often with our daughter and because it's better on gas, but I'm planning to change it again at the end of the year, I'll probably have 3K on my oil, but it's been a year and once a year is the minimum I'll go without changing my oil.
I use Mobil 1 and even with all the additives I wouldn't trust it to still be good after 20K miles, 10k is fine, but I wouldn't push it to 20K that's just nuts
