I drive a 2020 Toyota RAV4 hybrid mostly for short city commutes, and I'm trying to figure out the optimal oil change interval. The manual suggests 10,000 miles or 12 months, but the dealership always puts a 5,000-mile sticker on my windshield, and I've heard conflicting advice about severe driving conditions. For other hybrid or similar vehicle owners, what interval are you following based on your driving habits, and do you trust the manufacturer's recommendation or go with more frequent changes for peace of mind?
