I was reading an old service manual for a 1985 Toyota pickup and found something wild

Honestly, the manual said the factory recommended oil change interval was 7,500 miles or 12 months. I found it in a box of old books at a garage sale in Boise. Tbh, I always thought those old trucks needed oil changes every 3,000 miles like clockwork. Has anyone else come across a spec that really threw off what you thought you knew about a classic vehicle?

Isn't it funny how we all just believe the common advice without checking?
