If you change the oil more often (whether a high quality standard or synthetic oil) it';s going to get dirty. So why not spend 1/2 as much on the oil and filter and simply change it every 3-k.

I don't buy the "use synthetic and get 10-k out of it" way of doing it.

The same contaminats are going to get in there anyway, and the sooner they're flushed...the better IMHO.

Plus I remember the old daze of points, condensors & cetrifugal timing advances! In those days it was an oil & fileter ever 30k. And even my dicey Italian cars ran well over 200-k.

Toyota sez: The AT fludi should last the liftime of the x-mission.

I say: that LIFETIME may be doubled if you flush it every 50-k!!
