First oil change on new 3rd gen

Never had a brand new truck before after break in,whats the recommendation for the first oil change? From some research I’ve found online 500 miles to 1000 miles up to 10,000 miles. I would never go over 3,000 miles that just crazy. I was thinking 1,000 miles and go to amsoil

 

Do whatever makes you feel good. The engineers that designed the truck say to do your first oil change at 10k miles.

 

Thats crazy no way

 

You’re referring to the first oil change correct ? Honestly i did my first oil change at 7,500.Before the 1000 miles it was carrying furniture lol after that i wised up and started changing my oil at 5,000 miles. Im currently at 31,000 miles and it’s completely fine.Theres folks here that do 5k or 10k some that use amsoil and some that buy kirkland and some that mix different brands together lol

 

10k with whatever full synthetic on sale and my motor will go 500k

 

First one done on both my trucks were done under 5k.

read than manual. You want different, it’s your truck, you make your own decisions.

 

No reason to do anything beyond a standard 0w20 synthetic.

The engine is rated for 10,000 oil changes, but most including me recommend 5-6,000 miles.

It's a simple V6, amsoil and short oil changes have very little benefit.

I am a long time Toyota tech and I can tell you these engines rarely rarely fail, and there's no need to break in or change the factory oil.

 

I did my first oil change at 5K miles just to feel good. I am sure others waited until 10K miles for the first oil change and are fine too.

 

Blackstone Labs. 10k all the way!

 

5k, Toyota oil

 

Ignorance is bliss.

 

Seriously? Toyota has it wrong? But internet strangers will get it right?

 

Every 5k, and rotate tires. Easy to keep up with.
Sure you can go 10k, in my book that is the maximum... why push it.

All things being equal, it's a relatively inexpensive way to ensure a nice long life.

 

Engine oil, and engine oil filter is cheap! Better than spin bearing, burn bearing! Whenever you want to change engine oil early, is your call. Never mind what others tell.

 

Oil related threads turn into a shitstorm quick here...

For my 2 cents worth, this was my first ever new vehicle. I come from an automotive background. I decided to give this vehicle as much care as I can to make it last. Chaged oil at 1,300 miles, then every 5k or once a year after that.

 

Follow Toyota recommended interval to keep your warranty. After that do what you feel comfortable doing just make sure it is within acceptable norm of Toyota recommended intervals.

FYI I have a '23 just took it in for first (they had a sticker on windshield that read 5k, 10k)... I made 5k appt but when I got there the SA told me at 5k they typically just rotate tires. 10k is when they change oil... they are loaded with full synthetic from factory.

 

I changed my oil and filter after the 1st 1000 miles on my 2016, and then every 5000. 111780 miles so far so good
