Change oil even if I drove under 3k miles in 5 months?
I was told that oil changes need to be done after X amount of months even if the car was barely driven. I was wondering if I should change it now that it has been 5 months since my last oil change.

Toyota says 7 1/2 months or 7500 miles. You still have a couple months left

What suaveflooder says is a good guideline.
You really need to drive that car more ..... so it won't stiffen up on you .... humfrz |
