my 2 Year Oil Change!

Jun 14, 2010 2 Replies

hi all,



I have a 2003 Avalon, that I don't drive very much [about 28,000+ miles]. One year, I looked at my calendar, and I hadn't changed the oil in 2 years!



I use Mobil 1 synthetic oil, which is a little pricey [about $50 for an oil change].



I wonder how big a mistake this is. The car runs fine [well, with 28,000 miles it should!] And I see I'm past the one year mark again. I guess I'm looking for a good reason to take it in...

You should follow the factory recommended oil change intervals, especially if the car is driven on short trips.

You apparently drive about 4000 mi a year. That's about 8000 mi. Your car will be just fine. Just change the oil now.
