How often should I change my car oil if it takes me over 2 years to reach 5,000 miles?
My car sticker has a date as well, what does it mean?

Hello,

Toyota recommends that you change the engine oil and filter every 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first.
The date on the oil change sticker usually shows when the next change date is. It should be changed by that date or when you pass the 5,000 miles mark.

Here is a helpful video of oil change:

Toyota recommends to use 5W-30 weight oil. Your engine oil capacity is 3.9 quarts.

I attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
