I do every 5000 miles because it's easy to do and cheap if you change it yourself.
Toyota parts reviews
i have a 2007 camry le v6. i got it a few months ago and plan to change the oil every 3000 km. i dont drive much and my mechanic (whom i worked under in an apprentice-like role for 3 months) recommended every 3k. i got the car in april and i still havent even driven 2000 kms since then (including four 200+km trips), so i still have about two more months until ill change it anyway.
Just think of it this way. At 5k miles, your oil is already dirty and full of contaminates. Why would you want to keep driving with that oil for another 5k miles? Sure, the manual will say each oil change at 10k miles is required but if I want my car to last beyond 200k miles, I would take the extra precautions and change it sooner at every 5-6k miles.
It’s a fact that frequent oil changes are better than not. Anyone Toyota Master (NOT tech) will tell you every 5k and for good reason. Want to go by the manual and do every 10k? Go for it, but that’s insane. If you want your car to last as long as possible, change every 5k.
I’ll be doing my first one at 1000 miles, then I’ll be doing them every 5000 miles or 6 months.
Had Kumhos on my Celica for 4 years and they’ve been pretty decent to be fair, even wear aswell.
My 1996 Toyota Camry wasn’t produced with one, but there’s a spot for one… Popped in one for a 1996 Lexus ES300, and the difference is certainly noticeable; quite literally is easier to breathe! Plus, I don’t have to dust my cabin as often.
I got better results in Bosch in my Corolla than RainX
I just did the 5100's at 2". I also have a +0 offset wheel (this matters). My 275/70R17's rub the mudflap at full turn when entering a driveway.
Rainx is terrible, they work better than average at first but it doesn't last very long.
