Your thoughts on 10,000 mile oil changes.

I guess I didn't specify, but I just wanted the oil out of there in the first few miles. It looked fine and the filter was clean too. I just have these nightmares of metal shavings dancing around in there.

 

Look at the above sample result from Blackstone Labs, the numbers don't lie.

 

Amsoil.

 

You're not going to have shavings like a bad bearing, lol. But def a good move because a new motor will have material as you break it in. That's why many manufacturers still have the 1k mile service.

 

Oil is cheap, engines are expensive...

 

I drained the oil at 1200 miles and filled it with fresh. I did not replace the filter, easy pezy. When I took it in at 6months, they refused to change the oil even tho I said I was towing and driving down some dirt roads. I only had 4500 miles, so told them to do the 10 K oil change.

I have rebuilt engines in the past, I wanted to get all the startup lubercants out. I’d rather spend an extra $30-35 on oil for peace of mind. I recycle my oil anyways.

My Tundra runs fine!
