First oil change

sorry don’t have time to do a search, in the waiting area at the shop.
So my 2019 has it first service today at 8000 Km and the girl told me they won’t be changing the oil because it doesn’t get it until 16000 km
That goes against everything I know about new engines
Is this common for others or did I get a new girl?

 

That's par for the course. The motor is not shipped with any special break in oil.

 

km, off the top of my head I don't know what that is in miles? On the new Tacoma's the recommended oil change interval is 10,000 miles.

 

Yes, 16000 km. Full synthetic. All in the manual.

 

Read your owners' manual.

US - 5K miles - tire rotation; oil change 10K miles. Metric distances you quoted are similar.

 

She is correct. New Tacoma's are every 10k mile oil changes or once a year depending on what comes first.

 

Well, 8000KM is not even 5K miles.. How long have you owned the truck? If it has been 12 mos, then yes, the oil should be changed, if not, you are wasting your time.

The 5K service is a tire rotation at best.

 

Oil changes every 10k miles (16k km) per the Owner’s Manual:

 

Thanks for the quick reply
I could understand that distance after the first one but... okay

 

I did mine @ 10k instead of the 16k recommended, because it was at 12 months.

 

My manual suggests 10K or 6 months for "hard use" which driving in slow traffic qualifies as hard use. I plan on having the oil changed every 6 months regardless of mileage.
