    New Owner here. 2016 SR5, with some modifications and additions. Loving the truck. I am typically a DIY type who does as much maintenance as I can. However, this truck has been taken to the dealership for most of its maintenance. I am thinking of at least doing my own oil, but curious as to what most do.

    I use to do my own oil changes before I got my 2020 Tundra 2 years ago. I was getting such a good deal at the dealership I was taking it there, but it has doubled so I might start doing it again.

    I will see what the cost is at the dealership. Unfortunately there isn't one local to me but not a terrible drive. I'm curious as to the oil type and filter type, or how it compares to something luke Amsoil.

    Stick to fully-synthetic 0W20 up here (hello from MN) since our winters can get pretty chill. Brand really doesn't matter long as it matches the base requirements there.

    As for filters, you can get 4-packs on Amazon for like, $40 I think? Yeah, here's what I got last time:
    $49 Set of 4 Engine Motor Oil Filters For Lexus Toyota Land Cruiser LS600h LX570 Sequoia Tundra DOHC Naturally Aspirated FI MFI Automatic CVT
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09JS86GL2/

    The WIX XP ones there are the TRD-comparable version, in fact it might just be WIX that manufactures them for Toyota.

    If you're still running the plastic housing for the filter, I have a spare metal one I could throw in the mail for cost of shipping for you, unless I happen to wander south sometime soonish.

    I always run Mobil 1 but Amsoil is an excellent choice as well!

    Here is a couple photos. It's got a 3" leveling kit (ready lift). Tires are 35x12.50R17 with what I believe is a 1mm offset (ET 1?). It's got some rub. Looking to fix that. Was thinking of going down to 10.50. Any suggestions?
