Please excuse if this has been asked. New to the board.
I've got two cruisers (fj40-62). Both of these are being driven way less than 3K in three months time. I've always followed the 3K or 3 month oil change routine.
How important is it to change the oil after 3 months if you are putting less than 1500 miles on the oil?
Also, the 1980 40 had the catalytic converter removed years ago. Not a problem in the south, but recently moved to the Pacific NW. It won't pass deq so I continue to have it liscensed in the previous state. Would like to have local plates if possible but would have to put a converter back on. What kind (if any) performance loss should I expect by doing so?
Thanks.
