Okay,
So I am trying to decide if I should change out my M1 0w-40 now in my Toyota Landcruiser or keep going. Basically, I wanted to run it to 8000 miles and do a UOA to help get a good UOA on the board for longer mileage use. I am now at 7000 miles. The problem is in the next month, I will likely be taking the cruiser on several trips and if I don't change the oil in the next few weeks (probably about 7500 miles) will end up running it out to 9500-10,000 miles before I can change it.
Since I am on the fence of what to do, what do you guys think? I normally plan on doing 7,500 mile changes. Here is the link to my first UOA on this vehicle.
