(and before any one comments, yes i know.... this is not how i should treat my '4' but life doesn't always go as planed.......) --------------------  Life is for living, and you don't get a second chance Take care now !! |

I hope 39,000 km translates into 3,000 miles... because I know you can't be that negligent to your GT-4...
EDIT: OMG... (googled) 39 000 kilometers = 24 233.4765 miles This post has been edited by Chanh55: Mar 29, 2006 - 12:43 AM |

3,000 miles is actually incredibly modest, most manufacturers dont even recommend oil for 5-6 thousand miles and some bmw's are like 10-15k between oil changes lol
wow, 24375 miles without an oil change. go toyota reliablity

holy crap... 24k miles without an oil change?! that's like almost 2 1/2 years worth. craziness.
edit... 24 divided by 3 is still like 8k miles before an oil change. no as crazy as 24k, but toyota engines are still awesome. now only if my 7a was faster.... This post has been edited by j0e_p3t: Mar 29, 2006 - 1:02 AM -------------------- |

of course i'm using a synthetic oil for a turbo car.....
Castrol XTX is the norm' and about every 10k is about right ! normal oil just don't cut it with turbo's........ -------------------- Life is for living, and you don't get a second chance Take care now !! |
