Thread: 55,000km 4.5 year oil change

If you're always topping them up do you have to change the oil?

Had a mate at school who bought a diesel toyota carina which had done over 400,000kms, but the last 100,000kms without an oil change. It wouldn't come out the sump plug hole when we did it. Took several flushes with kero mixed with thin engine oil to get it the sludge moving. Seemed logical at the time He then flogged that car for nearly 3/4 of a million kms and never put a spanner on it
