My IS250 08 is needing an oil change now but the dealer is saying I can only go there on Wednesday due to full schedule these two days, is it ok to change the oil a bit later? Like 100-150 miles late. I think it's fine right?

 

That is totally fine. There's absolutely 0 reason to worry. A lot of people go longer between oil changes here and have 0 issues. Even if you go a thousand miles extra on regular oil, you aren't going to run into any trouble unless your oil is physically low. If you use synthetic, there are members here that have done 10k+ intervals without issues.

 

perfectly fine. I personally try not to go more than 500 miles past when you will have no issues.

 

why take it to the dealership for something as easy as an oil change?

 

What he said ^^

But to answer your question, you wont have an issue. If your not useing synthetic already, switch and DIY!

 

i commend you for your concern , if more people had your attitude, i think there would be a lot of better condition used cars out there.

but like others have said, you are perfectly fine unless you are low on oil or something.

 

i think the "Oil Maintenance" light comes on every 5k miles, in my case I go 5k over then coz I change oil every 10k miles now. and yes I baby my car.

 

No worry, not a single problem.

 

No worries. I usually got 500-800 miles over. I only get the oil changed when its convenient for me and my schedule. You have nothing to worry about. Just don't wait another 3k-5k for the oil change.

 

IF ONLY people were all like that haha

 

You should always check your oil dipstick regularly in case your engine is burning oil, excessively dirty, etc. You can probably drive thousands more miles if you wanted to, but regular oil changes is always good.

 

Well said Killal! thanks for letting me know!~

I actually tend to do it early lol because of the holes that passes through the oil in the engine are so small

because my apartment's garage won't allow me to do that... so I don't have place to do it


I wish I could but me no place

lol haha! I really do wish people do that. You know, I love me car, so as babying it

Yeah! and that annoying me alot what oil do you use? full synthetic 5W30?

Thank man

Thank bro! I actually trying to keep it oil change every 5K so that the car is very good condition when put on sale :P or trade in.

Me agreed !! hahaha

YES sir! And I very don't want any dirts stuck into any tiny little hole passes oil through in the engine. Even though people are having no issue but I still go with what old school says. Maybe it's just me? lol so I won't be so worry. But thanks for letting me know !

Thanks again ya'll!!
