For various reasons I need a car, but not for much. In the eleven months I've had it, it only has 371 miles on the odo. I've Googled the question "low miles+oil change+how often," and came up with lots of different answers. I thought I'd get your guys' take. One site said it has to be changed every 6 mos. due to contaminant buildup. How do contaminants get in the oil?
It was also said that if you drive less than 10 minutes at a time you don't "boil off the water in the oil." Is that true? If so, where does that steam go if not back into the oil? Once it reaches peak temp., isn't that as hot as it gets? How does water get in the oil?
It's a 2017 Sienna btw, bought new.
Thanks!
