Oil Change Intervals & Oil Brands

[RideWithYanu]

I don’t know whether Ray is a real person or not, but not even his own likeness is real in that video: it’s all AI. Scary world we are entering!

 

[GR8Santini]

Yep.

• Place a position statement on AI
• ask it to prove t he position
• provide a dialogue content by discussion area/chapter
• ask for supporting pics & videos by chapter
• ask for it in a YouTube

You now have one of the 90% of BS videos proving a point out on YouTube.

And, now other AI engines grab it as support material.
What a world we are in.

In one video, this guy said about everything........sad truth....but the oil part is old school common sense.
This one's for YANU

Haven't been back to dealer since the day I bought LC........yet she is on 4 rth oil change at 9000 miles......broken in the right way and now running the right oil. Game, set, match...that is my extended warranty........

100% AI Slop, gross.

Gotta love @ just 00.18 sec - talking about engine disasters - the transmission erupts w/ AI flames that look like a J79 in afterburner, yet the drain pan doesn’t catch fire, & my favorite - the tech doesn’t flinch. Poor guy was just changing the oil…

For things that matter I prefer old school research and data collection to make those types of decisions. If “the Google” returns AI content I double and triple check.

One of my grandfathers was a mechanic. He died before I ever got to meet him. One of his mantras (according to my grandmother) was a rhetorical question he used to ask:

“What is the cheapest thing you can put into an engine? Clean oil.”

That is not the video I was talking about folks, but if indeed, it has gotten that bad, I thought he was overdubbing his speech in places, it has gotten way out of control. In light of the AI whistleblower's prophecies, this shi! has got to stop. Sorry I posted it! Admins should remove those videos from the thread......the ONLY thread I looked at by this guy was the one about the GM, Toyota and Hyundai failures. Seems like You Tube needs to ban it!!! I learned something here and don't like it!!!

Sadly, it brought together many of the facts I had seen from multiple different sources. I had made my decisions long before I saw this video. It doesn't change anything I have researched over the past year. My ears alone know the difference.......as more owners make the change to 5W-30, more will be making these comments.

No worries at all mate. And the things he was saying may have been correct (I don’t know) even if the video was AI-made. No sweat!

So i am new to the Land Cruiser (coming from a 3rd gen. Tacoma). I see there's lots of discussion on the oil change intervals for these LC 250s. I recently purchased my 2025 LC 250 with roughly around 4000 miles on it (was a lease vehicle). I found that they did change the oil at 3777 miles assuming this was the first change since there was no other previous record of an oil change. I've read others doing their oil changes at 1000miles, then 5000miles, and then every 5000miles thereafter. When do you guys recommend doing the next oil change? should i still do it at 5000miles or should split it between 5000-10,000miles (7500miles)?

And what brand oil do you lean towards using?

My LC 250 will be used mainly for commuting back and forth to work mostly highway some city and maybe do some off-roading with it.

We still have a 2006 Rav 4 kid has it now. It maybe over kill but I go with 6 months or 5k. Which ever comes first. Either oil but going 10k Synthetic maybe better. Have a 2024 Taco same goes dealership here in Midland TX the service guy was saying no wait finally got pissed and said I will pay if need be but we are doing the 5k or 6 months Toyota can kiss my butt. Hope it helps

Every video on that channel is AI generated including ray himself. You can also remove the videos yourself via edit. Mods don’t need to do it for you.
