    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    Oily oil. It doesn't matter what brand, as long as it meets Toyota spec.

    Hello mate! I'm sure you'll find a good answer in the owners manual, if not there are many many oil threads on this forum if you use the search bar. I use OW20 full synthetic as per owners manual!

    Manual says GF-6A. That's synonymous with SP-energy conserving. So of course use SL-rated 5w-40.

    @Tacoboys23trdsport4x4, welcome to the forum. One thing you will learn by hanging around here for a while is questions about oil and oil change intervals, wax, tires, suspension upgrades..., should only be asked on a Friday.

    As for changing your oil at 3K, my $0.02 is DON'T! Wait until at least 5,000 miles.

    Welcome to the forum & congratulations on the new truck. :hattip:

    You can use any (preferably name brand) oil that meets the specifications published by Toyota.
    Your owners manual has a very comprehensive section that details all the recommended fluids.

    The Toyota specifications call for a full synthetic 0W-20.

    At 3k I don't recommend any.

    But I suspect you're just here for the kerfuffle your question will cause.

    Because everyone who drops several large on a new truck knows the owners manual has the basic answers

    What ever the manual says to use, is what you should use.
    The important part is that you change it. (Kudos to you for actually being proactive:thumbsup:)

    I prefer Mobil 1 Full Synthetic. It meets or exceeds Toyota specifications.

    Your info shows 2023 TRD Sport so just go with any brand 0 W 20 oil. As far as I know they are all synthetic in that weight. Most all brands are good.
