Letting turbo cool after parking

Any proof that changing the oil ever 3k miles helps or just peace of mind? I'm honestly curious this is my first turbo engine car.

I don’t drive too much and when I do, it’s mostly short hops .. which is the worse possible scenario. For me it’s peace of mind. And at $110/change (1/5th what my Porsche costs) it’s a total no brainer. If you listen to the video I posted he strongly recommends going to no-longer than 5k .. YMMV 😏
 
BY FAR the best thing you can do for any Turbo engine to last long is to change the engine oil frequently...

I changed my LC at 1000 miles break in, and then every 3300 miles (so 3 times more often than Toyota says).

This engine is EXTREMELY well designed and uses mostly basic and tried and tested technologies that have been around forever and are proven to work well, and maintain easily..... down to the total lack of cosmetic BS like plastic covers, this engine is "old school" as Ahmed of Car Car Nut says..


Welcome to the Jungle BTW!
 
I’ve changed my oil at 3k intervals and now at 11k miles. I’m considering switching to 5K intervals because the oil looks extremely clean when I’m draining it. I do it myself. It’s really easy.
