Change oil every 5,000 miles for the first 25,000 miles?

I purchased my new taco last week (7 miles on it at the time of purchase). As i was leaving the dealership the sales guy said that for the first 25,000 miles i need to bring it in for a oil every 5,000 miles. Based on what i can find it appears that the oil change interval is 10,000 miles. Is this part of the break in for the engine our does the dealership just want me to pay for extra oil changes?

 

Go with what the manual states, 10K. There's no break-in period on these modern engines.

 

if your paying then its every 10k miles

 

If you bought it new, you get all those for free. No cost to you other than time to take it to the dealer, up to 25K/3years

 

they specifically said i have to pay for the oil changes.....i figured this was not necessary....

 

I've changed my oil every 5,000 miles for the last 67,000 miles LOL.

 

Here's the first problem.

 

The free maintenance is every 6mo/5kmi, but my dealer only changes the oil every other. Kind of a waste of time when they're not changing oil.

 

Never listen to a SALESMAN! There’s a reason they sell cars and are not mechanics.

 

not the first 25k you don't, I bought my 2017 with 8K on it from carmax, take it to my local toyota dealer and haven't had to pay a penny for regular service.

 

The book says every 10K. Personally, I am going with severe duty 5K.

 

good to know. i think i'll get this scheduled when i get closer to 10K for the milage

 

Not all the dealers offer complimentary service for the first 24k

 

And if you think it’s actually free, I assure you, you’ve paid for it somewhere.

 

If they offer it, do it every 5k, it's free.

 

Okay got it. Toyota has it programed in somewhere in the overall cost, my point is i am not pulling out my card and swiping it, take it to dealer, get service done, leave....No additional cost.

 

I'm driving roughly 6k a year (currently at 1500 miles and 3 months) so I will be pushing for an oil change at my 5k service due to low mileage driving.

 

No not necessary

 

free oil change ( 4 times) 24mo/25k whichever comes first on all new Toyotas

 

Every new Toyota comes with free maintenance for the first 25,000 miles.
