So, not sure how to feel on this little matter..?

i used to follow the 8000km/16000km/24000km/32000km schedule.. but noticed that it doesn't really matter.

I mean, if you go over.. then you went over. Say you did your first oil change at 8100km, your next one would be at 16100km right? what if you did another 100km over? 24200km ?

at one point, you are not REALLY going to follow the schedule as exactly as it should. Even if you've not done the 56000km maintenance, you've already hit 64k, your transmission oil should be changed according to the 64k km schedule.

I understand you might be grumpy about the filters change, but i always specify do not do any other maintenance except what i mention. So an oil change is an oil change. Although, i've not been to the dealer for a really long time for maintenance.

And btw, for some odd reasons, i'm doing an oil change at 70300km! Anyhow, i say screw the maintenance schedule, at least, for oil changes. Filters should be changed when dirty, not according to some kind of schedules. Oil changes is at 8000km, so i reset my B trip counter. When it's approaching 8000km, i prepare myself for oil change.

ive been using royal purple in the yaris (i buy it buy the case of the other cars that we romp on so i just add it in there)

but ive hit the time to change out the oil, i checked it the other day and the oil still looks in great condition, still nice and clear after 5K miles. I was quite impressed. I still think im going to change it but now im just not in a hurry anymore
