Road Trip, Need Advice!

Hi all,
I have a 2010 V6 TRD Off Road Double Cab that I am planning on taking from West Virgina to Atlanta. We are planning on putting approx. 2500 miles on the truck within a couple of days. A couple things I am doing: Filling the tires up to 35 psi to increase gas mileage, changing the oil, making sure all fluids are topped off....

I went to advanced auto and they have an oil change jug of Mobil 1 on sale. It says it has 5.25 qts in it, I know the manual says 5.5 qts.... Is the .25 really that important? Thx!

 

If the engineers say 5.5 quarts .... then 5.5 it should be .... just my opinion.

 

I always get two 5 gal containers at Wally World & one qt, that is enough for two changes. WW has had them on sale for $21 the last few times I went there.
How much is it advance auto?
I would get what the book calls for.
The receipts I keep for my records in case Toyota needs them or says it wasn't done correctly.

 

I would make sure its 5.5...specialy for that long of a drive.. its not that much more to buy a quart. It prob would not make that much difference, but why take a chance for a few dollars.

 

Advanced has a special going on, buy the jug and you get a free mobil 1 filter.... I always have used them, so it saved me approx. 2 bucks... I got an extra half quart from when I changed it last time lying in my locker at work, so I will use that....

 

5.5 is a guide. Fill it until it registers full on the stick on flat ground after the engine has been run, warmed and sits for a while. I usually start with about 5.25, run it, let it cool and check then top off. It usually takes 5.5 though.
