    Hello from Bags, (its a long story)

    My question is about oil chages. I bought a 2023 4runner used a year ago. Almost immediately we drove cross country to Cali and back. My to total mileage was about 6.700 miles. We did a little off road exploring in Arizona and Utah. I know I'm setting myself up for a beating but i did'nt change the oil til I returned because I don't trust the rapid oil change places. I've been using a local auto shop for maintenance for years. I changed it as soon as I returned.
    since then I have changed it several times. What's your opinion about not using you local guy or youself for a trip like that?
    Thanks for you advise in advance.

    Welcome to the forum from North Carolina.

    You will be A ok in what you have done, Multiple schools of thought, with tons of reading to keep you busy. I would not over think it at this point, Moving forward keep it changed with an interval that you feel good with and a good synthetic and you will be fine.
