Re: Used Oil Analysis Results
« on: Nov 13, 2010, 09:55:25 AM »
I'm sure I could push it to much closer to 20,000 miles but my goal is simply to be able to go about six months between changes.  If you look at the dates of the samples you'll notice that the Sequoia gets a ton of miles put on it.  It already over 500 miles since the oil change last Friday and we really didn't go anywhere.  I'd be changing the oil every 4-6 weeks if I didn't go past the wasteful 3,000 mile old standard.

New Rule of Thumb:

5,000 miles with any name brand conventional
7,500 miles with any synthetic.
1989 4Runner: Dual Ultimate (Inchworm front & Marlin 4.70 rear), Marlin Twin Stick, 1200-lb clutch, 4.88 R&P, Aussie Front, Detroit rear, 30-spline Longs, Long hub gears, ARP hub and knuckle studs & 35x12.50 Cooper STT PRO tires.  Marlin rear bumper & sliders.  FROR front bumper.  SAS with Alcan springs & Rancho 9000XL shocks.  Budbuilt Bolt-on traction bar.  Custom Interior Cage by Those Guys Rod and Customs.

Moab Tested & Rubicon Approved
