Modern poll thread for what change intervals in miles people are using, what's popular. I assume nobody is running their oil out on the time side, so we're ignoring that.

A lot of members have vocalized disliking Toyota's recommended 10,000 mile / 1 year interval for the synthetic 0w-20 oil in our trucks and put themselves in the 5000 interval club. Many members have stated they're well past 200k miles using a 10k interval. Commenting your interval along with current odometer reading would be useful.

I included various cutoffs. Someone that changes on roughly 4,000 intervals would use the 3000-4999 option. Someone that uses 5,000ish intervals would use the 5000-5999 option. Someone that uses a 6000 or 7000 interval would use the 6000-7499 option.

Feel free to mention if you've had engine issues with your 4Runner, and if you think those were a result of oil change intervals.

My 2023 is coming up on 5000 miles and just hit six months itself. I haven't quite nailed down what I want to do on intervals, but 5000 intervals strike me as being overly paranoid, given how many ultra long life 4.0's have done anything but 5000 intervals.


I imagine a number of people may mention The Care Care Nut's video where he adamantly suggests 5000 intervals, regardless of if your vehicle is running synthetic or conventional oil.
