I've got a 2006 Tacoma with the 4 cyl engine, 156K miles, not burning oil and no other known issues. I've always changed the oil and filter every 5K miles, sometimes using conventional and sometimes running whatever syn was on sale.
I'm retired now and don't enjoy getting under the truck like I used to, nor do I put as many miles on it every year, now driving about 4 - 5K per year.
Most of my trips now are short trips across town, but once a week I drive 20 miles round trip on the freeway. And 2 or 3 times a year I'll take this rig on a longer freeway drive.
My question- Can I run a premium oil and filter for an extended period of time, I mean several years? Considering Amsoil ASL and the Amsoil filter, as I'm told by my local dealer that combo is good for 25K miles.
