10000 mile oil change

just hit 3000 miles on my new tacoma. called to make oil change apointment under toyota care and they told me no oil change until 10k miles. Is this right?

 

It should be at 5,000 and 6 months... Check your manual...

 

toyotacare wont let me have a oil change until 5k or 6 months

 

toyota care is every 5000 miles

you are getting incorrect info

tacoma is sold with conventional oil, most toyotas are synthetic

the service person is making a simple mistake. tell them tacoma is erry 5000 miles up to and including 25,000

 

ok so either way notyhing needed at 3k. thanks a lot guys.

 

When you hit 5k take your truck to the dealership with your manual. Tell the to look at the manual, and have them read how often you should get an oil change and what kind of oil your truck takes.

 

fyi... the 4 banger in the 5 and 6 lug taco uses 0-20 synthetic.

 

I assume you are talking about the 4.0 and not the 4 cylinder. It is every 5000 mile OR 6 months which ever comes first. My first oil change was at 5000 miles and 4 months and my second was at 7300 and 10 months.

 

I, too, have a 4 banger and i purchased it new. Toyotacare does not require the first oil change until 10K miles. I'm fine with that since it's synthetic oil; but, why does it go to 5K mile intervals after the first oil change....makes no sense to me?

 

Probably because you synthetic in it now. They will replace it with conventional oil.

 

You're right about the six month intervals for low mileage accumulation. Most people have no problem putting 5K on in six months, but not everyone. Don't know how the dealers handle this, but I'd hold off on the tire rotations until the 5K interval is reached, regardless of months.

 

On the 4 cylinder engine, oil change is 10,000 and the oil used should be synthetic - have a come to Jesus meeting with the service manager regarding Toyotacare, or call Toyota Corporate.

 

I wouldnt think the filter would last 10,000 miles.

 

The new tacoma with the 2tr is a 5k synthetic oil change

 

I did my first oil change at a few thousand to switch to full synthetic, then again at 5K. Every oil change from here on out will be at 5K intervals, but that's just me....

 

my 2014 is every 10000 miles thats what they say but i've been checking since 5000 seems fine

 

Your 2014 what

 

I change mine every 3000. Might be wasting money ,but hey, its my baby

 

Your truck should have a 'Maintenance Required' light that'll go on when the oil needs to be changed. Check within your owners manual - it'll tell you the mileage your oil changes should be regardless of what the dealer tells you.

 

I go 6-7K on my 3.4L. It requires every 5K.
