oil sample befor warranty expires - Toyota Yaris Forums

bmw uses a standard 15000 mile change interval on castrol full synthetic. it's usually sludging up about 500 miles after this if people dont get it done on time.

but...people will do what they want. i change my oil on time every time cuz my car is under warranty. when it's done, i may go to a 7k or 8k interval...even try 10 a time or two who knows. but if the oil is still good, why not just change the filter and top the oil? when i change mine at 5k it's almost brand new looking. hardly changed colors at all which tells me that it's still good. when it breaks down or gets deposits it will change colors.
