    hindi naman sayang yung trip mo... manufacturers usually include inspections in routine maintenance intervals. mas okay na na kumpleto yung service records mo and at least kampante ka na walang problema yung sasakyan mo hehe

    although keep in mind that the oil-change interval is 10,000 km OR 6 months (it could be 12 months though, check your manual)

    simula sa akin nung 1K, bring your own oil ako (duda ako sa mga tatak ng oil na gamit nila)... havoline energy gamit ko so every 5K ang palit ko...

    oks kayang mag fully synthetic tayo for the rav4? or may caltex sport (oil specifically for SUVs)? malapit na ako magpa 20K checkup kasi...

    btw, sa manual nakalagay ang pinaka optimal na oil for the 1AZ-FE (2.0L) is 15W-40, while for the 1ZZ-FE (1.8L) is 5W-30.

    kung every 10K ang palit, medyo mas makakatipid ka sa oil change labor and oil filter. pero parang iniisip ko na mas ok nang magpalit every 5K ng oil filter kaysa hintayin ko pang mag 10K at maipon ang dumi...

    mga 6months yun 5k kms sa kin... kung every 10k kms, parang every year lang ang change oil ko... ok lang ba yun? di ba masyadong matagal? more or less 1k kms every month yun natatakbo ko, minsan 500kms lang...

    Pareng cardo, believe it or not, dun sa Civic ko dati, once a year lang change oil ko, full synthetic gamit ko eh. Pero self maintained yun. (actually all my cars are)

    YUng tito ko nga sa from the states nagulat when he found out that we (our casas) change oil every 5k kms. Sa states mas matagal yung interval, and its in miles not kms (just forgot the specifics).

    Pero in the end, its still up to you if you wanna put up with this change oil racket.

    hindi rin siguro. Mas harsh when it comes to the suspension siguro, but for the engine, IMO di siguro major difference. Yung ambient temp lang naman ang difference eh.

    Of course, for new vehicles, i suggest you keep up with the casa's recommended PMS sched while the vehicle is still in its warranty period.

    Our driving conditions qualify as "harsh" because of the dustier atmosphere, hotter temps, and the stop-and-go driving brought about by our traffic conditions... thus, i feel more comfy with changing oil every 5K (using mineral oil)... I've seen several cars using synth and extending the drain interval and the results werent really that nice (the oil became dirty sludge).

    I guess the best would be to follow what the factory recommends in the manual/service booklet as Pajerokid mentioned.

    Stop and go traffic can really shorten the life of an engine.

    If I were to choose between mineral oil being replaced every 5 thousand Kms. and synthetic being replaced at extended intervals, I would still go with mineral.

    Pero kung synthetic being replaced every 5 thousand Kms., sana umulan na ng pera! Woohoo!

    Di na kelangan umulan ng pera, mura lang naman yung full synth oil ng Petron, I think it was around 270/liter.
