Changing oil at 10k?

Every 8000km

 

Thanks beer guy drink up

 

Toyota says every 5k or 6 months for mine since it is a Flex Fuel so that is what I do.

 

I’ve been using the same bath water to clean myself for 12 months. Its working fine. Had someone test the water and said I’m good to go for another 2-3 months.

 

Do you void your warrantee if you do it yourself? Also, if you don't void it, what sort of documentation do you have to keep? Do you need to use a Toyota filter or can you use an equivalent like Mobile 1 filter, Napa or Wix?

 

I buy new tires every 3 months or 3,000 miles regardless of tread depth.

 

I change my underwear once a month, regardless of the skid build up.

 

Irregardless

 

Irregardless of my irregularities.

 

Or,
“Crustiness not withstanding”

 

I was surprised the 1st oil change is at 10k but all others is at 5k.

 

5k for me every time.
Oil is cheap might as well change it often

 

I thought that if you are just using regular gas and not E85 the intervals could be extended? As for the OP you could always have a sample analyzed:

 

Do it every 10k because Toyota says too.

Also its easy to remember .. 10k. 20k.. 30k

 

It is still 5k I actually had mine tested and when I had the second oil change done back in April. The results had it on the needed to go stage when I brought it in just on the 5k mark. I have never put E85 in it. Also my truck tows a lot so that could be a factor as well and around the second oil change was after my wife and I moved so more workload was put on the truck.

 

Assuming your favorite brand name Full Synthethic and a "10K mile" oil fitler then
Towing use = 5000 OCI
Non-towing use = 10000 OCI

Easy peasy...enjoy your Toyotas

 

Good call. I talked to my mechanic about going 12 months 12k when switching to Amsoil and knowing my towing is only a 15ft Jon boat, he gave me the green light. I’m doing my first oil change in a few weeks and planning to send sample to Blackstone. Will ash just from there.

 

Toyota manual 2019 anyway a flex fuel 5.7 every 5k regardless if you use flex fuel or 6 months non flex fuel 10k or one years. Ill stick with that 0 w 20 and Toyota filter

 

Every 5k worked with me using Mobil one up to the point I traded ther 1st gen with 265k on the odometer.

 

If the manual recommends every 10k do I change my oil every 10 months? I dont daily drive my tundra and Ive had it for over a year now and my mileage is only 4000. Should I change the oil already? lol

 

If that 4000miles are hard driven miles, yes! If not, just check the level and tap it off.

I do about 100 miles a year max in my autocross car, I change the oil every 2 years due to 50 miles of it is bouncing off the rev limiter.

 

I still do mine at 3k, thats just how I was raised.

 

I just do ocassional trails close by my house which is about 20 minutes away and drive the truck once in a while to run errands just to start her up. What would you consider hard driven?

 

Contantly revving at high rpms.

 

The engines are the exact same except for the fuel system. If you don't run E85 in your tank, then you can do the 10,000 miles OCI just fine.

 

I replace my seatbelt every 5000 miles just to be sure.

 

I replace my rear brake light bulbs every 4,000 miles. This includes the 3rd light on the back of the cab. Can never be too safe.

 

Change mine every 5k. Oil might be good for 10k but is the filter? Besides oil changes are cheap.

 

I spend $7k a year on ‘mods’, but complain about cost of changing oil early for less than $40 diy.

I don’t rotate tires, but let the fronts bald and buy new ones. Saves the rear tires.

 

I get a new wife every 5 years just to keep my house fresh!
