1st Oil Change

Hey all - I'm a new member and a new Tacoma owner. I've enjoyed reading the posts and look forward to the info gained from the forums. Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone was going the 5k before the first oil change or should I rid the original oil sooner? I'm at 1000 miles now.

 

You're good at every 5k, rotate your tires as well.

 

welcome aboard,and yeah.....what they said.^^^^^^^

 

6 months or 5K
after 6 months only had 2K on it but got it changed.
Oh and Welcome to TW from Sparks, NV and thanks for not asking this in the new member section.

 

Now would be a great time to change it and get any new engine bits out. Then go to 5000 miles during the warranty and you can easily bump it up to 7000 miles ( or more ) using a synthetic oil from that point on.

 

I just drove mine for the 5,000 then changed it to Mobile 1 after that. I don't see any real reason to change it sooner but I'm sure there are people that prefer to change it sooner.

 

Thanks for the input and opinions on this.
