First oil change mileage?

I did mine at 5K, Toyota maintenance also states if regularly driven under 5miles and below 32 deg.do it at 5K. I qualified for that

 

I'm religious about maintaining my rig. I generally use M1 when I find it on sale or with a rebate. In the 4 months that it takes for me to hit the 5k mark, I can always find a deal on it.

But just for shits and giggles I'm going to use SuperTech on the next change and post it up just to see the triggering that will ensue.

I will, however, stick with my M1 or Fram Ultra filter.

* NOTE: My rig is at 73k miles and I'm under the Platinum warranty until 125k. Being a 2nd gen...5k OCs are what it calls for. And yes...that's overkill with my driving habits.

 

Do i win ?

Showing results 1 to 20 of 20

 

did my first around 2000 miles, second at 6000, and rotated the tires at 6000. used trd oil filter, and mobil1 extended lift full syn 0w20. i will probably go 6-7500 for next change, that way i can keep a schedule of tire rotation, and oil change at the same time. less to remember, and worry about. Ski

 

Did mine around 9k, bought the truck at 8k, just turned 10k on it last week. Owned it about 5 months. Planning on using it more now. At this rate though my one year or 10k rule will mean that my second oil change will be maybe 8k.

Please report if you find the oil filter tight or loose

 

I'm about to hit 5000 miles and I'm going to change my oil. 10000 miles seems like alot to me but what do I know.

 

I did my first at 3,980 miles and sent a sample to Blackstone. I would suggest 2k miles for the first, then 10k/20k/30k etc.

 

Another triboligist wannabe lol.
OP there is no correct interval. There is what Toyota recommends and then there are ten thousand opinions on why they are wrong.
I have my dealer do it every 10K. And, *gasp* I sometimes don't get there until 11 or 12K miles!

 

On our work truck F350 gas engines our ams oil rep swears on every 25k we ride with a full 300 gallon tank engine plus 10-15 50 lb bags of fertilizer and we have had no issues. I believe the 0-20w says every 15k so I say 10 is safe.

 

4,998 and no more. Sorry, you have ruined your truck. Just part it out and save yourself the future problems.

 

Mine actually went a little over 10K because I came back from a longer road trip. You'll hear many say otherwise, but the full synthetic oil is meant to last 10K miles and beyond.

 

Well I'm an older fart that came from the "3,000 mile oil change club" and it was a very stressful situation when I let go and followed the 5,000 mile change! I'm at 4K miles on my 2020 now and I can NOT wait till 10K!!! Metal don't heal.

 

At 5k your oil is already black pretty much...all that coloration is small particles That absolutely put extra un needed wear in your engine. No way in hell I would wanna double what I already see at 5k. Some guys claim to have “honey” color oil at 5 or even 10k but that’s a whole other subject I call BS on lol.

 

i just changed oil (no the first) but i did use 5w40 Rotella T6 rather than 0w20.
And lo and behold the T6 pail changed and there no longer is an API -SN rating for gas engines! whaaa?! (older pail has it)
I'll let ya's know when it self destructs.
i tow a lot and do some changes at 8000km and others at 15k km just to mix it up.

 

Good advice.

 

Not great for the valve timing.

 

That’s really thick oil, don’t know if would do that, but you do you.

 

The correct mileage, and or time interval is what you are comfortable with. Maintenance schedule is only a guide.

 

10k STP synthetic fram orange filter
