When should I do first oil change?

When should I do my first oil change? My Tundra is about 6 months old and I have 900 miles (I use the Camry offset during the week). I know the owners manual says 10K, but I’ve always heard about changing the oil after break in. My second question is I installed RCI skids. Will I have to remove the skids to do my initial install of the metal oil filter housing and fumoto drain valve? I realize it would have been easier to install those initially.....but oh well.

 

900 miles in 6 months?!? You gotta enjoy that thing more!

I always have done one at 1000 miles on new cars. Probably unnecessary but i get piece of mind

 

Yeah, I don’t go many places in the winter. More in the summer. My daily commute is 85 miles so I use my Camry. Most of my driving is in town so I’m seeing like 11 mpg tops!

 

You need to remove your front skid to have enough room to work.

 

I believe there’s a time requirement if you don’t reach the mileage needed, I think it’s after a year Toyota recommends changing the oil. Otherwise with how much you drive that first oil change will be a couple years down the road.

 

I think this is right too. 1 year or 10,000 miles whichever comes first.

 

10K or 2 1/2 months for me.

 

After 500 miles. Get those small metal shavings out of there. Again after 1,000 miles. Then, go with the recommended 10,000 mies thereafter for reg V8 or every 5,000 for the FFV V8.

 

I did my first at 1000 miles then went by the regular maintenance intervals.

 

I actually just changed mine for the first time 2 weeks ago at 5k miles. Oil came out cleAr and looked pretty good. However, I really looked at the filter and you could see small pieces of metal in it. There were a couple the size of like red pepper flakes or just a little smaller. I am glad I changed it and put in a new filter at 5k and probably would have done it sooner.

Should have taken a picture of the filter......

 

Just did my first one at 5k, and I always continue every 5k.

 

I just changed mine at 5k, had no noticeable metal or any other foreign objects in the filter or oil.

 

first oil change at 1200km, second oil change was a year later at 7000km. third will probably be after a year is up.

 

I just scheduled my first oil change for next week. I have had the truck 11 months and I am at 4300 miles.

 

FFV is every 5000 miles or 6 months. Whichever comes first.

 

this reminds me to do my car,it's way overdue

 

I did mine at 1100 miles and took pics of the oil filter. Do the rear diff if you can, it was worse... magnet caked in shavings.
