Don't take this the wrong way, but 10k oil interval is STUPID.
I don't care if you run a full synthetic.

I've been a mechanic for 25 years.
I've seen engines destroyed because people let their oil go LESS than 10k.

3-4k TOPS. New filter every oil change.

I change my Yaris oil at 3k intervals. I use Castrol GTX oil.

Oil is cheap, your motor is NOT.
Oil breaks down, and it is a suspension for the by-products of combustion.

I seen factory maintenance literature that says oil changes at 5-6k.
Spark plugs at 100k.

Yeah.... they can stick that up their asses.

got tired of throwing away (recycling) oil that came out the same exact color as when it was poured in. The oil I get is far greater quality than what is needed for 5k. I hear what you say, and have made up my mind, no more is needed to be mentioned about it in this thread... There's no point in debating something that only time... errr... thousands of miles will be able to tell.

next week i'll let you tell me that running 44psi on the tires is stupid too.

[Alien Mantis]

Yeah, do whatever you wanna do, bro.
It's your engine.

44psi in the tires? Cool. I run 40-44psi in my Yaris tires.
I won't argue with that!
