Oil change advice for interval and type

[alanwagen]

I'm thinking everyone has an opinion about this but this is what I do.

I use Mobil 1 extended synthetic 5-30 and go 10K miles. Just because I'm lazy and so far no problems. The less oil changes makes up for the extra cost of the oil. I do use a OEM Toyota oil filter though.

I plan to do the same as soon as my free Toyota Care oil changes run out. It is unlikely I will do 10,000 miles a year though, once a year OCI should be OK.

Ditto, except that I use a Mobile 1 filter as well; and for the same reasons (being lazy).
