    So change your oil......somewhere between 5k and 10k miles. A synthetic of any brand and any viscosity between 0w20 and 5w30 and use whatever oil filter puts you to sleep at night. Check it once a week after it's been sitting for awhile.

    Get off the internet and go enjoy your truck and life.

    Lock this mother f**ker up. :locked:

    The manual says, "...if you drive primarily under the conditions..."
    In my book, "primarily" means +50%.

    Toyota says not to replace ATF till 100K miles, why do I see recommendations on this site for people to change ATF at 50K miles or sooner?
    Follow manual for oil, but not for ATF? Why?

    If anyone think that dino oil can take timing chain beating and stop and go traffic, with hours of idling at the red lights (like in ITP Atlanta traffic) for 10K miles...more power to you.
    Toyota's responsibility for your engine stops once warranty runs out.

    5 qt jug of synthetic Valvoline Synpower, M1 AFE, Shell Truck & SUV is $10 (buy on sale and stock up). Filter is $6. $18 (5+1qts + 1 filter) for a DIY synthetic oil change. I may push synthetic oil to 8K in the timing chain engine, city/heavy traffic; 10K miles, if there are several long (600 miles+) interstate trips. Do the same on Group II or even II+ dino oil???? No way, no how.
