Oil Change Interval

I’m sure there’s already one of these out here but sometimes creating new is easier than searching.

Im just under 5,000 miles and the maintance light pops up and goes away. I call my local dealer and they say I’m not due for an oil change till 10,000 miles. It has synthetic & I have the V6. Is this common? I requested they change it, along with whatever else is needed at 5,000mi. I came from a basic conventional 3,000mil interval car before I bought this.
Thanks All

 

Buckle your seatbelt, it's gonna be a bumpy ride...

 

Easier for you to make a new thread, but it gunks up the forum with useless threads. There are about a million threads asking this same question. Here is one from just yesterday:

There's no way in Hell I would ever run a vehicle 10,000 miles between oil changes.

 

THIS, 100%

 

.,.

 

Why don't mods relocate these threads to existing threads?

 

It'd be a full time job.

 

Change the oil at the end of every day. Twice a day if you drive more than 200 miles during the day.

 

Every 12k with olive oil

 

No ... wrong ... peanut oil. Olive oil is your last resort ONLY if your truck is allergic to nuts.

 

Toyota engineers say every 10,000 miles but Toyotaworld wanna-be engineers say way less. You decide. Be aware that the stealership will side with the wanna-be engineers as it is more money.

 

I've honestly never changed the oil in my 2nd gen in over 130,000 miles of ownership.




Toyota, on the other hand, they've changed the oil in my truck like 26 times.

 

Only 26 times? Should have been 40 times.

 

I'm one of them, wait til the light comes on, guys. Truck hasn't blown up yet. I'm sure my axle is going to snap first.

 

Is is Friday somewhere!

 

Opinions do not matter. Read the frickin' manual and follow what Toyota calls out.

Also for future reference, oil threads should only be posted on Friday. Really gets everyone's jimmies all rustled up.

 

Nah. If it's only 1 or 2 posts a day. And surely they can setup something that will flag key words for review prior to posting.
Or they can all be thrown in an oil change sticky.
