Oil Change Interval Poll

[Muzzle of Bees]

I selected 0-2999 because I’m doing them by time now. Usually just before a year. My driving habits have changed dramatically since I started working from home years ago.

Going in for my first oil change in the next couple weeks, I'm at 6200 miles and just over 10 months old.

'18 SR5, 57k miles. Oil/filter change at a family owned Pennzoil shop in town. Their windshield stickers indicate next change @ 5k miles. I generally run closer to 7.5k. Once I went the full 10k and change. No issues. I generally have the truck full serviced so that the driveshafts get lubed; it's tough on this senior citizen to crawl around and lube those zerks in the gravel and mud. Oil clear on the dipstick any time I pull to inspect. Mileage mainly comprised of dirt road and highway. The truck has no failures in its history. The same shop has serviced my '02 Tacoma TRD 4x4 for 200k miles with no issues, I gave that truck to my grandson when I bought my 4Runner, the Tacoma now close to 300k trouble free miles.

I changed the oil on my '24 for the first time at 1250 miles. Was kind of surprise how black it was. I'll do it again at 5k miles and 5k after that. Most of my driving is city driving so a lot of stop and go and way too much sitting in traffic. Not ideal conditions for oil longevity.

the services reminder on the dash can be programmed to whatever miles you like.
just go to settings, vehicle, maintenance , oil 1-99999 miles.
there are bunch of other and personal items you can set up yoo.
most dealer set them at 5000 on pre delivery inspection so they expect to see you every 5000 miles...

Is this owner “editable”? If so, can you share a link or instructions?

At 16,640 miles since last oil change. Oil isnt low or black yet. I might make it to 20k.

I hate doing oil changes on the 5th gen, so i neglect it.

I usually change between 5K & 6K mi depending on how oil looks, I take a white paper towel and pull dip stick out wipe across. If oil starts to look brown it gets changed. Use Mobile 1 & Toyota filters

Oil, filter, drive cycle?

When you do change, have the oil analyzed!

This picture was taken a few months back when I replaced the valve cover gaskets on my ‘13 Trail. It had 220k miles at that point and for the 115k miles I owned it, the oil was changed at 5k mile intervals.

Just got my first ToyotaCare oil change at 6300 miles and 11 months. I don't really like doing middle-of-winter oil changes if I can help it, so we'll see if I can drive a lot more this year and do the next oil change in October/November. I'm generally looking for my interval to be 7500 miles +/- 1500, or a bit under 12 months on time.
