    Might be OCD, but I just changed my factory fill this past week when I hit 1500 miles. Mostly because I wanted a Blackstone labs report. And just the added peace of mind.

    Do you have the 2TR-FE or 6 4.0L?

    What are the oil change intervals using synthetic oil?
    Only Toyota vehicles in which 0w-20 synthetic oil is required (except for the 2TR-FE & 3UR-FBE Engines*) have been approved for extended oil change intervals of 10,000-miles/12-months. (However, you should continue to check the oil level regularly and top off if needed. That will help your engine get the full benefit of synthetic oil.)
    Vehicles in which 0w-20 is an option to 5w-20 mineral oil, (or 5w-30), will continue to require 5,000-mile/6-month oil change intervals, even if 0w-20 oil is used.
    In the case of vehicles with 10,000 mile oil change intervals, the 5,000 mile service interval has not been eliminated. The traditional 5,000 mile maintenance procedures (such as tire rotation) will continue to be required, and the fluid levels (such as brake fluid) will need to be checked and adjusted at this time.
    If the vehicle operation meets the standard criteria for "Special Operating Conditions" such as: driving off-road, on dirt roads, towing a trailer, making repeated short trips under 32˚ F, or extensive idling; the engine oil must be replaced at 5,000 mile intervals, regardless of what type of oil is used.
    *The 2TR-FE (4Runner / Tacoma) and the 3UR-FBE (Flex Fuel Tundra / Sequoia) are the exceptions to this new change interval program; these engines have not been approved for the 10,000 mile interval at this time. A 5,000-mile/6-month oil change interval is still required for these vehicles. Also, the Flex Fuel 3UR-FBE requires a 2,500 mile interval when operated on E85.

    Read the manual. 5,000 mile oil change interval regardless if you are running synthetic oil or not on both the 6 cylinder 4.0L and the 4 cylinder 2.7L.

    From your link above:

    What are the oil change intervals using synthetic oil?
    Only Toyota vehicles in which 0w-20 synthetic oil is required (except for the 2TR-FE & 3UR-FBE Engines*) have been approved for extended oil change intervals of 10,000-miles/12-months. (However, you should continue to check the oil level regularly and top off if needed. That will help your engine get the full benefit of synthetic oil.)

    *The 2TR-FE (4Runner / Tacoma) and the 3UR-FBE (Flex Fuel Tundra / Sequoia) are the exceptions to this new change interval program; these engines have not been approved for the 10,000 mile interval at this time. A 5,000-mile/6-month oil change interval is still required for these vehicles. Also, the Flex Fuel 3UR-FBE requires a 2,500 mile interval when operated on E85.

    Toyota also recommends Dino oil for the 4.0Liter V6 with an oil change interval of 5,000 miles.

    Of course it is your truck and you can do what you feel.

    Your first two years are free. Take it to the dealership and they will perform what is required. 5k is topping off fluids and rotating the tires.

    Mine gets changed when the light comes on, every 5k miles. Just changed it yesterday and my Mobil 1 was black, always is at 5k. It may still be good but I'd prefer to put fresh in there.

    If you would like to come pick up my used oil and put it back in your truck for another 5k, you can have it for free. Then you would have free oil for life.
