Oil change intervals for rav4!

Hello people, I have read the owners manual but have had no luck finding out when I should be changing the oil, can anyone shed any light on this! It's a 1998 rav4 with the 3s-ge motor! Cheers

5 thou is better. Oil is cheap.
Oil every 5.oil and filter every 10.

Yes, if you want your engine to last 136 years.

Wow, a 3S-GE motor. that's rare, a Celica and MR2 (as well as many others) power plant with wider angle valves. Good strong motors those. RAVs normally have the boring 3S-FE engine.

Cool, will go with every 10,000km, it's mainly longer drives in it, not round town runs. Thanks people

5,000km is unneccessary - and why would you change oil and not filter!

plenty of this model Rav with the G engine around.usually referred to as the G model.

Not by comparision with FE's they aren't, from what I've seen they would outnumber G's by 10:1 at least.
