    How many others are changing their first oil change early?

    I figure can't hurt. Looks good in service record as well. Going to have them check torque on U bolts as well. Must be because Harley needed re torquing a lot

    I went to full synthetic somewhere between 1000 and 1500. Truck has never burned a drop of oil between changes.

    I've always followed the manufacturer instructions and never had a problem. I won't be worrying or wasting any money on it.

    No New oil... As long as the dealer is paying I am changing.... Three years and a new truck most likely. My wife says two.....I had a used 14 for two whole days before giving another $4000 and buying a new 15 last April. Now a 16 in October so as you can see she has the inside position....

    I never wait for the manufacturer's recommendation for the first oil change. Then i go full synthetic and change it twice as often as the oil maker says their oil needs changed. Cheap: Oil changes. Not cheap: a new motor.

    Yep. Mobil 1. I lurk for the $10 buck off sales at Costco and grab a six pack when they have it.

    I think 5w30000 is best for the headlight fluid. Often, I hear idiots down playing the importance of a good headlight fluid, saying it can be put off for more than 24 hour intervals...

    That is correct. I just had my truck at Toyota on Wednesday at 5600 miles. I wanted the oil changed. They said 10,000 miles, I said they are crazy. I told them about the synthetic royal purple I used in race cars that I changed at 5000 miles. They said that was 10w30 and 0w20 is a different blend and was designed to last. I said prove it. So the service manager and techs showed me docs and guidelines etc. They convinced me ... so I will change at 10,000 miles.

    :argue:

    Doesn't the truck come with regular oil? Not synthetic from the factory?

    I will be doing my own oil changes unless the dealer wants to do it for free.

    Mine has synthetic right from the factory. I also checked my oil before taking it to Toyota. The oil was clean and at the proper level. Usually at 3 - 5000 miles the oil is really dirty. So SOMETHING new that I have learned.

    I've been driving cars or the last 10 years that the mfg says synthetic oil could go 15,000 miles then then they reduced it to 10,000 miles. Whatever they tell me, I change it at half the interval just to be extra cautious. And the first oil change, unless you have bionic eyes and can see tiny, tiny particles in your oil, I would recommend changing it around 1,000 miles. Maybe that's outdated thinking with today's modern motors but better safe then sorry, IMO.
