    Hybrid Oil Change Intervals (OCI)

    I run 10 k intervals in my Corolla cross hybrid. Almost 55k on it not an issue. I drive 600+ miles a week so I usually feel 10 k happens to fast. Typical drive is start and drive 56-60 miles shut down and do it again next time it starts. Definitely gets warmup up every time.
