How much oil does your vehicle consume between oil changes and what brand is being used?
An example, my 4-Runner just completed a 5000 mile round trip to Grand Canyon, Las Vegas. The current interval has 6200 miles on it and 1.5 quarts of Mobil1 15W50 were added to the 10w30 original fill. So that breaks down to 1 quart every 4000 miles.
My Tacoma uses no oil between intervals, but then again it did not see the high speed, long trip that the Runner experienced.
I add oil once the dipstick reads 1/4 below full (6 mm) or about 200ml of oil. My intention is to always keep the maximum oil in the sump.
I am curious as to other members experience.
Daily Drives:
-2003 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner XtraCab, 2.7 Liter , Mobil1 Synthetic SS 5W-30.
ODO 8800 Miles.
-1995 Toyota 4-Runner 3.0 V6, Mobil1 Synthetic SS 10W-30.
ODO 90500 Miles.
