Change it now with Amsoil and follow the manufacturers recommendations for maintenance intervals.I bought a 2002 Lexus ES300 a month ago and just realized the last oil change was in 2018, 14.3k miles ago and AmSoil Signature and AmSoil filter was used. Attached is a photo of the engine oil dipstick. Am I in trouble? View attachment 94826
That's not a bad idea. You should be starting with decently flushed engine. Required to do this? No.Thank you all. I ordered the AmSoil Flush and AmSoil Signature Oil again but it won't get here until next week. Should I buy a lesser filter like Fram Ultra and Valvoline Max Life oil, and change my oil tomorrow until the good stuff comes in?
Thanks. Thoughts on whether I should change it with something lesser until the AmSoil gets in next week?Not at all. Be glad it was Amsoil in there and not something else. That's why I always want a top tier oil in my car just in case I can't get to it.
I would just wait it out at this point. Amsoil has high detergency and from what I've read a pretty significant V base oil. Keeps engines very clean and can probably clean a bit as well.Thanks. Thoughts on whether I should change it with something lesser until the AmSoil gets in next week?
Let it ride.Thanks. Thoughts on whether I should change it with something lesser until the AmSoil gets in next week?
This can't be a serious threadThanks. Thoughts on whether I should change it with something lesser until the AmSoil gets in next week?
