Oil change intervals!

OK this one has become more and more important & the longer that I spend working for Toyota, the more important it is. Please right now go to your owners manual find out what your actual oil change interval is, on synthetic cars most on the market right now have a 10,000 mile oil change interval, but if you have free maintenance every other trip is a tire rotation. The reason I bring this up is we continue to see people come in at 12 or 13 or even 15,000 miles and they're just thinking there a little bit late when the reality is there oil has not been changed for 12 or 13 or 15,000 miles. If this happens once that's not a big deal if it happens all the time you're going to end up having to put an engine in your vehicle. OK no admittedly every make and model is different and if you're driving a truck or your towing are you doing other strenuous things with your vehicle you should already be on top of your oil change, but the casual every day driver needs to be aware if you're at 13,000 miles & your maintenance light is on chances are your oil has not been changed yet.
