I have a 2017 Toyota Rav4 and have been changing my full synthetic every 5K miles or so.

Recently found out that Toyota actually recommends every 7500-10K. Just checked my oil at 7500 and still looking good.

How often do you guys get oil changes ?

I usually do about every 5k. One of my first jobs was at an oil change place and I learned quick they recommend you get it changed a lot sooner than actually needed because they wanna make that money quicker.

I always do 5k miles, I think my car states 7500 or 10k miles but oil is cheap enough and it's cheap insurance to make sure I keep everything properly lubed.

I change my oil once a year to be honest, I could probably change it more often, but I don't really rack up a lot of miles since I work from home and only commute once or twice per week. As for fuel filter changes, I would replace mine every 1-2 months since I have removed the fuel strainer.
