Oil Change

Hello I have a 2023 Tacoma 4x4 SR with 200 miles on it that was bought new in early October of 2023, the truck and its owners manual are currently not near me. This truck will be driven infrequently probably will only get maybe 1,000 miles put on it per year, how often does toyota reccommend the engine oil and filter be changed based on time not so much mileage

 

Once per year I think.

 

Yearly would be a good idea

Also undercoat it yearly too, rust doesn’t sleep

 

Wow! Quite the expenditure for 1k miles a year!

 

Sounds silly but, Sales rep said undercoat itself should not effect warranty, but if somehow the undercoat lead to a part failure then warranty wont cover bad part....
That's answer without giving an answer.
...So I should undercoat the truck? Any recommendations or anything will do?

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Yes, have it sprayed
Krown is great if there is a place around you that does it
Fluid film works great too
No hard coatings, they rust under them
Yearly may be overkill but it would be best

 

I’d say yearly would be alright.

Curious, why so few miles per year? What is the truck used for?

 

Once a year. You should be able to download the owner's manual from Toyota's website after you register your VIN.

 

Retired and just drive very little anymore but I wanted something dependable

 

I'm retired and I put 10,000 to 12,000 miles on my Tacoma a year. I wish I put less miles on it, however with the kids and grandkids it never stops.

 

Also the Tacoma is not what I would consider my primary vehicle, I pretty much needed a smaller truck to use sometimes.

 

I am retired and drive very little now and I also wouldn’t consider the Tacoma to be my primary vehicle basically I need a small truck to use every once in a while.

 

Similar need (4500 / yr). Just saying, that's a lot of bucks for that use case. My 13 serves the same purpose quite well.

Not arguing, just commenting. It's your $ ! Well, now it's Toyotas $

 

Ha, ha… I hear ya. I put more miles on my vehicles since I retired. I always assumed that I would not drive much now. By the way, thank you for your service sir!

 

No worries I didn’t take it as though you were arguing. Have a good one cya

 

Thank You

 

I understand
