I have a 2017 Toyota Rav4 and have been changing my full synthetic every 5K miles or so.
Recently found out that Toyota actually recommends every 7500-10K. Just checked my oil at 7500 and still looking good. How often do you guys get oil changes ? |

| I usually do about every 5k. One of my first jobs was at an oil change place and I learned quick they recommend you get it changed a lot sooner than actually needed because they wanna make that money quicker. |

Your car take synthetic ? And yeah a quick google search showed me that's the main reason shops recommend every 5K no matter what lol. |

| I always do 5k miles, I think my car states 7500 or 10k miles but oil is cheap enough and it's cheap insurance to make sure I keep everything properly lubed. |

| I change my oil once a year to be honest, I could probably change it more often, but I don't really rack up a lot of miles since I work from home and only commute once or twice per week. As for fuel filter changes, I would replace mine every 1-2 months since I have removed the fuel strainer. |
