Hey guys, really new to this forum. I'd like to know regarding oil change intervals for my 2010 Toyota Hilux. I use mobil delvac mx 15w-40 and change the engine oil consistently at 10,000km with the original toyota filters. Recently been told that its only indicated for 5000 to 7500 km and that I should upgrade to Delvac 1. Considering that delvac 1 is almost thrice the cost of delvac mx, I'd like some advice on this matter. Should I stick with my current oil drain interval or spend more on synthetics. The hilux is driven decently, cruising mostly at 80 - 100 km/h, I rarely carry any loads, and it never goes off-road. I live in Malaysia.
My truck has done 170 000 km thus far. It is well looked after. No black smoke whatsoever under hard acceleration or on inclines. It runs on euro 5 diesel.
