Oil Change Advice

[TimC.]

Alright my last ditch effort here. Your 4th gen has a turbo. This will likely be the fist failure over time. For all doing the 10k oil changes please post your engine health status as you get to high miles. I would love to be wrong.

What's not usually "discussed" and the point of the OP's video posting (for those who are not watching it - likely most) is the Car Care Nut emphatically says change oil on turbos not every 5,000 (vs laughable 10,000 - Oil Geek Guy has video explaining why Toyota does this. It's not about Joe Consumer - sorta) but every 3,000 miles. "Back to old school" to quote the CCN.

Toyota: "We've spend billions of dollars and years of development and testing on our engines for durability and performance".

Some guy on the internet: "Bullshit!"

Perhaps the guy on the internet could helped Toyota solve the Trundra engine recall? Must have only spent millions on that engine program. Billions, yeah billions would have prevented that failure.

The other guy on the internet is only a NASCAR tribologist that developed the lubrication program for Joe Gibbs racing, won 2 NASCAR championships and the major developer of Driven Racing oils additive package. Yeah, just a guy on the internet.
