Hey all, so I have a 2003 Highlander with the thirsty-for-oil 4 cylinder. It burns enough for me to add a quart of oil about every 300 miles or so.
I’m due for an oil change, I do it every 3000 miles because it’s a 200k mile car. I’m wondering if I should even change the oil since it’s always topped off with new stuff, or if I should just change the filter and not worry about the oil.
Any advice is appreciated.
Burned oil means residue so change the oil and the filter.
Leaking oil means you can just change the filter at regular intervals and then change the oil less frequently.
