minus-square@SupraMariolink1•1 day agohttps://www.galaxytoyota.net/service/service-tips/toyota-rav4-maintenance-schedule/ That’s 2 seconds of google. First change is at 10k the next is at 30k, and that’s a rav4. This isn’t new, oils have gotten way better and motors are engineered at much higher tolerances.
minus-squareNougatlinkfedilink1•1 day agoMaybe read a little better? The 20,000-mile mark is another oil change and oil filter replacement. It’s got a 10K mile oil change interval, from the very page you linked. Never mind that the link I posted above was from Toyota the manufacturer. Nothing anywhere for anything you’ve cited says 30K miles. Again, source?

Most are good for 10-15k max, cheaper to just change the filter and keep going. https://www.performanceoiltechnology.com/amsoil-products/amsoil-extended-life-5w-30-100percent-synthetic-motor-oil That’s a 20k mile oil from amsoil, directly being advertised as such.
minus-squareNougatlinkfedilink1•23 hours ago There are a bunch of manufacturers now that have motors that do 10-15k, 20-30k mile oil changes. https://maintenance.audiusa.com/#/search Audi appears to call for 10K mile oil changes, though I’m not going to check every single year and model. AMSOil is good stuff, but they’re not an automobile manufacturer. Nothing anywhere for anything you’ve cited says 30K miles. Again, source?
