I’m buying a brand new 2024 Toyota Corolla in two days. I was planning on following the dealership and manufacturer recommended schedule for oil changes and other maintenance. But now I am seeing videos on the internet that say you should have your first oil change at 1,000 miles on a new car. I’m w…

[image] George_San_Jose1: Oil & filter changes are like cooking food, better results if done slowly. Yup! Basically, the options–with oil changes, medical treatment, cooking food, and even making coffee–are… Do you want it fast? or Do you want it done properly?

[image] George_San_Jose1: that method likely works ok. For the first 80-100k miles. Do you think anyone has accumulated more than 100,000 miles on a Toyota during the last 14 years? What hapens after 100,000 miles? [image] bing: According to your calculations you would drive about 5000 m…

Yeah correct. 20 miles one way so I’m back to 5000 miles and six month changes. Who said we couldn’t get this up to 200 replies? Pay for one extra oil change a year. Seems minimal.

[image] bing: Even the IT guy couldn’t get it downloaded He might have been having trouble figuring out the folder naming conventions. On my Android cell phone there’s a folder titled “photos”. But there’s not a single photo there … lol … all the photos on the phone are stored in another…

[image] D.J: I had a quick lube place that i think stripped the nut during an oil change That because, they Mama never learned them, “Righty tighty, Lefty loosey” (Intentional Misspelling and Horrible Grammar…)

It would be interesting to know how many hours of training the staff at those shops get before they start picking up wrenches. I had a part time job at a gas station as a teenager, and I got no training at all. Thinking on it, I did get 10 minutes training how to work the tire changing machine.…

[image] VDCdriver: doesn’t use his car for mostly short-trip, local drives, Short tripper here, 2017 rav4, oil change once a year, basically every 2500 miles. So far so good.
