RX350_2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Hi, My car is not getting close to 5,000 miles to get the first service done, but it's getting close to 6 months old. I know they said in the manual that whichever comes first I need to bring it in for a service. Should I wait until my car get to 5,000 miles because it's too soon for a service and it will happen again and again because I'm just driving locally. So any suggestions would be appreciated.

Gryphon Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Unless most of your driving is less than a few miles, or a few minutes, the 5000 mile schedule is fine. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically I don't drive a lot so do you think 5000 mile schedule is ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will also be in similar situation where 6 months will come up long before I hit my 5K. Since I've got synthetic oil in there, is it necessary to do it every 6 months? I wonder if the 6 months is something that oil companies are saying so that they keep their sales up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DArustik Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I did mine at 7500...is just recommended not necessary. Even though I love my car and do the oil changes myself, the cars are so sophisticated these days, that its just to be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
