I have had a couple of oil analysis done on my engine oil, and I am undecided what to do.
The Toyota recommendation is every 5000kms, but after the last analysis at 6000kms, the report said no problems with the oil and no contaminants to worry about, do another 100 hrs and test again.
This report was done by a very reputable company, who do lots of testing for the mining companies.
In my estimation, 100 more hours, at say an average of 45 kph is 4500kms.
That would effectively double my mileage between oil changes.
I don't think that is a risk if the oil analysis is adhered to.
I use Caltex Delo, which is not cheap, but a lot cheaper than a failed engine.
cheers
