Toyota 5k or 3 months pala PMS?

[Vodka]

Is this what you do to your own car, sir? Or are you quoting someone else's opinion?

yep! 2 cars so far, a toyota and a honda. both 10,000kms or 6-months, whichever comes first

i sold the toyota 9years ago (it was 10yo at the time) and it's still running great today the current owner says

the honda is now 9 years old. absolutely ZERO engine problems. both on plain vanilla dino juice

i'm gonna buy an Ecosport next year before the current honda hits 10years. ford says 10,000kms / 6months.

just to be clear i don't drive in metro manila which falls under SEVERE

Of course we can't! One would need expensive equipment to "know the TRUE condition of your oil". Perhaps that is why we change our oil sooner than what some entities would want us to believe.
But everyone loves to see the dark oil draining from the engine during the oil change. It somehow justifies the expense incurred in the changing of the oil.

well if someone wants to waste money just to feel better then that's his problem. but it SHOULDN'T be imposed on everyone

Kung 3 months ang change oil, kung ginagamit for long distance driving, (50KMS above + balikan ang byahe)
everyday or 3 times a week. (outside NCR, and province na at nasa field work) talagang pasok yan sa 3months. (time duration saka yung distance sa odometer)


Pero kung city driving naman, follow lang yung 5K PMS, kung ginagamit lang naman everyday, or minsan at bihira, less than 15KMS lang ang takbo, kahit lagpas pa ng 6months above, no problem yan..

(once a year lang ang PMS ng sasakyan namin at average kami ng 7K a year)

yung sinasabi kasi na certain KMS (5k or 6months) whichever come first..

depende sa gamit, kung bihira lang naman gamitin yung sasakyan, (ginagamit lang for point a to b, papasok sa office at pauwi)
at most of the time naka-rest yung sasakyan sa parking area.
or once a week ang gamit at nasa 20KMS + ang takbo at pure highway driving
follow the 5K/10K PMS.

pero kung nasa field naman ang work, at madalas gamitin yung sasakyan, dyan papasok ngayon yung months duration kung kailan magpapalit ng langis/PMS, very common naman pag tingin sa dipstick once na color black na yung oil saka obviously sa performance ng sasakyan, kahit hindi pa complete sa 5K or 10K required sa change oil.

depende sa driving condition, kung stop-and-go traffic, pure city driving, combined city and highway driving, or purely highway driving.
