im certainly not saying missing an oil change interval would actually cause a REAL problem, but could give toyota an "out" on certain specific engine failures.

missed oil change has nothing to do with it

so what happens if i put fresh oil in right before a trip and start to drive and the oil line blows or splits and oil pours out and boom engine goes or fire starts when it hits the manifold

they still going to say missed oil change? come on

something happened with the engine they cant say it was because of the non oil change. even when the block cracks and coolant mixes with oil and after a while blows, that takes a long time. cars to new, the owner must of did something stupid, or they changed the oil and never tightened up the drain plug and it leaked out.
