    Oil is at 10k

    Also another semi related question. If I only drive 7000 miles a year that would mean I go in at 6 months instead of 5k right?

    A tire rotation and they will send you on your way.

    Tire rotation, mult-point inspection, inspect and adjust fluid levels - per the brocure. You get oil and filter at 10k.

    Tell them you are aware of the TSB, and that you are taking the truck to the mountains.

    You would like TSB installed.

    Fresh donuts. A sexy pants suit somewhere hopefully. Stale coffee (drink it anyway). Go sit in the 86 and post a selfie. Eat as many foods as they can dish out.

    I just got an email for my 6 month 5k service from my dealer, looks like on the services they put 5k synthetic as a line item. Now I feel like a dummy because I am currently at 7k and changed the oil myself at 5.

    What are your thoughts here, should I bring it in and let them do the 5k service or just wait till 10k.

    P.S., they're also gonna check my driver side floor mat

    To maintain full warranty, I believe you need to have those done. I could be wrong, but they are weasels typically and that just gives them one more excuse.

    Your warranty is good for the time frame no matter if you never take it back to the dealer.

    Some "service advisers" would even skip these items. Mine did

    Going in for my 1st 5k Toyota Care Service. What should I expect?

    For them to open your hood to let a little air in.

    Just eat as many free cookies as you can. I always ask for a couple camo hats.

    Has anybody had any issues with putting on a different set of tires and them not rotating because it's not original
