    Just bought my first Tacoma. A 2012 TRD 4x4. Love it already! Dealer put 10/30 oil in it. Manual says 5/30. Will 10/30 hurt the engine and should I change the new oil immediately to 5/30? Thanks for any feedback! Rod

    10/30 won’t hurt anything, the 5 and 10 is the winter weight. If you live where it’s hot your good, but if you live where temps can drop into freezing I personally would switch to 5w30.

    No you’re fine. Just drive it and enjoy your new truck.
