Trying to skimp on oil changes in a car that expensive is really foolish.
1994 LS400 recommended OCI is 7500 miles with dino. They dropped it to 5000 miles for LS460 ?
OCI of my LS400 since new is 6mo with dino and 12mo with synthetic, mileage wise it was about 7-8k with dino and 15-18k with syn.
The engine is still running well after 370k miles without any work in it, the valve cover gaskets are original without any leak.
Yes they originally have it set at 5k mile oil changes, but I believe they have since changed it to 10,000.
Like I said, I'm a bit old school, but I'm planning on venturing into the extended drain territory.
370k miles? That's pretty impressive. The LS 400 is built like a tank - so far the LS460 is doing it's job - I do 700 miles a week with no problems.
