just did an oil change on my '4' and and checked the tag in my engine bay from when i had the last service !

39,000 km ago !!!!!! yes i've given her three oil changes and a new air filter....

but still 40k and no sirvice and still running sweet... how many other engine could do that i ask??????

(and before any one comments, yes i know.... this is not how i should treat my '4' but life doesn't always go as planed.......)

I hope 39,000 km translates into 3,000 miles... because I know you can't be that negligent to your GT-4...

EDIT: OMG... (googled)

39 000 kilometers = 24 233.4765 miles

3,000 miles is actually incredibly modest, most manufacturers dont even recommend oil for 5-6 thousand miles and some bmw's are like 10-15k between oil changes lol

wow, 24375 miles without an oil change.


go toyota reliablity

holy crap... 24k miles without an oil change?! that's like almost 2 1/2 years worth. craziness.

edit... 24 divided by 3 is still like 8k miles before an oil change. no as crazy as 24k, but toyota engines are still awesome. now only if my 7a was faster....

of course i'm using a synthetic oil for a turbo car.....
Castrol XTX is the norm' and about every 10k is about right !
