Im planing on servicing the car every 6000 miles, so its now due for an oil change... Fully synthetic oil etc... As im not an experienced gt4 owner,
What else needs changed when i do this?? Does the oil filter need changed etc?? Thanks guys -------------------- ![]() |

I work for Lexus and they recommend oil change intervals every 5,000-7,500 miles depending on driving conditions. Most come in with no problems every 5,000 with regular oil. I change the oil in my N/A camry every 3,000 miles or 4 months. In my turbo celica I use mobile 1 full syn. and change it every 3,000 miles. It may be excessive, but it makes me feel much better to change it then. Plus its only $25 total. So thats about $100-$125 per year. I can definetly spill that small amount of money to keep the rings and bearings happy and clean on a $1,500 motor. Not to mention the labor involved in an engine swap. Just a matter of opinion though.
