2012 SRX with 54,000 miles. Gets driven about once a month maximum.
I love this thing. I’d totally rock one.

My neighbor got one of these for their oldest daughter. I was thinking the other day how this could be a good choice for a kid’s first car, well-sorted GM product with all the safety features and the depreciation of a discontinued luxury model built in.

A low rent baller. Are you trying to talk me out of this?

How often is the oil change? The garage my mom takes her 2011 Sienna changes it every six months when she only has about 1
000 miles on it by then.
Because the owner’s manual says every
5000 miles or six months. Seems too often. Once a year seems enough to me.

Yup. The 2016 was the last model year and they are pretty decently priced for what you get. If I wasn’t so content with my 6, I’d get one.
I still feel like a baller when I drive this and it’s a 2012. That panoramic sunroof, though.

I just go by the mileage (5,000 miles) and the oil life monitor of the car. So, it ends up being like every other year or ever year- and- a- half. The sticker in the windshield says 54,000 miles or September 2018. Well, it’s March 2020 and she just hit 54,000.

No oil life monitor in her Sienna. She also has about 54K miles like your grandma’s . She’s probably the sam e age as grandma .
Wonder why Toyota says every six months regardless of miles.

If they aren’t hitting the mileage then I'd say evey year or so. Remember that short trips build up moisture in the oil that turns to sludge if it doesn’t burn off.

Good point.
