2014 Toyota RAV4 manual does say 0W-20 has been approved for 10,000 miles or 12 month oil change interval, but local mechanics recommend every 6 month regardless of mileage or every 4,000 miles which wouldn’t hurt, but seems to be an over kill based on Toyota recommendation.

OK, I’ve got a couple mailers you can have so you’re ready in the spring for an analysis. Did one test and they sent me a bunch of mailers for future tests. They’re just taking up shelf space but too nice to throw out. Over 200 responses-sheesh. Can we give it a rest? I’ve been around here for …

I’ve just been trusting my Oil LIfe Monitor, and it sure has no problem with 1-year, 10K mile oil changes. In fact it allows for a slightly longer period and another thousand miles or so.

@keith Thanks for asking for civility. You’ve shown much more of it than many others. It’s obvious that your response was precipitated by my response to just one of db4690’s endless attack responses, where you read the copy & paste of his own words. Your comment is right on the money, but I don’…

I don’t know where you come up with those @Barkydog . Reminded me though, my roommate who is in the South Dakota music hall of fame, rest his soul, tried to teach me how to play the guitar. I always wanted to but never could just get it. Back to, gulp, oil.

I am a person that enjoyed many types of music over many years, I am glad I reminded you of your friend and brought back memories. I cannot weld like my friend, rest his soul, though he tried to teach me, but I am sure if I tried to show him how to do an sql query he might not do as well as I.
