Trucks like the Tundra are bought to be worked hard and Ford, GM and Dodge know what their customers demand. Most Toyota owners, as well as Honda and Nissan owners follow rigid maintenance routines on their 4 or six cylyner cars and thats why they last. Thats is not going to be the case with truck owners who expect their trucks to go 5,000 to 7,000 miles on one oil change while hauling loaded trailers down dirt roads.
‘The H2 is GM though. ‘
Yes....and?
Anything pretty much will last forever with fresh clean oil, cheap & easy, but most people buy into the false economy of long intervals.
No, sorry. People with Nissan and Toyota trucks routinely ignore them, abuse them, and beat them. I’ve seen some that had 30,000 mile oil change intervals that were still going strong at 250K. That’s why they got the reputation they did.
The only “gotcha” on the Nissan trucks is that on the older ones you MUST change the timing belt at the specified interval or you will be replacing the engine shortly thereafter.
