I started using my truck to run errands all round town. I use to just change once a year with a synthetic since it was just an extra vehicle with 3000 annual miles.
I now do a pickup and delivery job on the side. Here's my current situation
2003 Toyota Tacoma 2RZ-FE 2.4L
40-60 miles a day 3 times a week
90% urban city stop and go with some steep hills.
Approx 20 restarts each day.
Weather here ranges from 50F-80F with average of 65-70F
Manual calls for 7,500mi 6 month intervals on 5w-30 oil for normal use.
I currently have Shell Rotella T5 Syn Blend 10w-30 with a Bosch Distance Plus filter on there. Thinking about 2,500mi intervals which at this rate is about 4 months and buying OEM filters in bulk.
Any oil, filter and interval recommendations?
