I only have 2 vehicles. 1964 K10 'Burb and a '72 Toyota Landcruiser. In an average year I don't drive either one more than 2000 miles. Yeah, you heard right, I drive less than 4000 miles a year. Total. Usually the miles, for each rig is about 1500. Most of the miles are around town.
It seems that the recommendation is that oil should be changed every 6 months or 3000 miles. My question is, do I really need to change my oil every 6 months?
I know oil is cheap. I don't normally change the oil myself, because I have no way to dispose of the old oil. So, I take it to a place that does oil changes. On the Toyota, the charge is about $45 for oil, filter and lube. The Toyota takes 8 and 1/2 quarts with a new filter.
So, what do you folks recommend? How often do you change oil when you only drive a vehicle a couple of thousand miles a year?
