Oil change interval for highway driving?
Hello!
Curious as to whether anyone has noticed in the owner's manual a maintenance interval based on driving habits?
I purchased my 2004 GX470 pre-owned, and while I have the owner's manual I don't have the maintenance section. On Lexus.com I was able to determine the suggested interval @ 5,000 miles, but typically Japanese vehicles have an interval (schedule) based on normal stop and go driving and a second interval based on highway driving that's typically 50-100% more for the oil change.
Thanks!

I run 10K on the same motor in our 06 4Runner V8 and ours primarily gets more highway than city given our commuting hours and locations. It definitely can go at least 7500, before I even see an ounce of oil consumption.

I have run Amsoil in my 99 4 runner for 125000 miles till I needed a GX for towing and Im doing the same with it Amsoil and Amsoil filter gets changed once a Year! I only run about 12-13K a year...

Ditto that! I run 1 year or 15k, and have never had to even add oil during those intervals. My 04 has 120K miles on it. And that goes for all my cars since switching to amsoil 16 years ago.
