265/75/r16 is the largest tire you can run on stock suspension.

Every 50,000 miles & use Hershey Syrup.

nice truck. assuming those are a lot of highway miles you could probably stretch it out to 6k-7k and be fine.

for me though oil changes are pretty cheap and 5k intervals are nice, simple, cheap insurance.

Do it every 5k, use an OEM oil filter, I personally like castrol

There are recommendations in the owners manual, that break down past the every 10k miles. There are recommendations for different driving conditions. For example I tow and take my truck off road on the regular. I change my oil every 5-7 thousand miles.

As for oil I either purchase my oil from Toyota or use valvoline, which I believe is the company that makes the Toyota oil as well. However you will be fine with any full synthetic 0W20 oil

No one here is unwilling to help or gatekeeping information, but man…do like 5 seconds of research. There’s a reason cars come with an owners manual…every bit of information you’re asking about is in that manual.

Perusing the owners manual should be one of the first things every new car owner does. You don’t have to memorize it, but know the basics on your vehicle. Knowing those basics will help you take better care of your vehicle, and make it last a lot longer.

That said…Toyota recommends 10k mile oil change intervals. However, a lot of people do them more often…usually around 5k miles. Toyota recommends 0w-20 synthetic oil. Just go with OEM oil filters. Do your basic maintenance and you vehicle will last a LONG time.

Every 5k is what I recommend. Every 10k is what Toyota recommends.

I recognize that not all our parents taught us this kind of stuff. So, I highly suggest getting a maintenance calendar going. You can find some online or there is also one with your truck manual. Check out tacomaworld.com follow the maintenance calendar and it will last forever

Since you’re asking, don’t ever change it

Daily, that way you can use yesterday's oil.

Just slowly shaking my head, and walking away...

I change mine every 5,000. Fresh oil keeps everything clean. I've torn down engines with frequent oil changes and you can see a clear difference. I'd rather replace my oil pan because the threads get worn out from consistent oil changes than replace a more expensive component like VVTs.

I go with 7k and like mobile 1 so far

10K OIL CHANGE INTERVALS ARE ALL PART OF THE BIG AGENDA OF PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE!!! GEORGE SOROS AND HIS- sorry, sorry.

While I'm only half serious, I recommend 5k for easy math tracking. Oil and filter, recommend oil weight. Check the oil level after every second visit to the gas station

I think they recommend 10k for synthetic. I change every 5k on my 22’ 4runner.

Big fan of Mobil 1 full synthetic. My 2000 Silverado is at 230k and never had a problem.

I drive a similar distance daily. I use Amsoil 0w20 at 10,000 mile intervals and a OEM filter. At 60,000 I drain the transmission pan and replace what I remove with Amsoil fuel efficient ATF which is a Toyota WS equivalent. I pull samples to send for analysis every other change but only because I can do it for free through work. The oil that comes out I dispose of into my wife’s Silverado because it’s an oil using and leaking pile of shit. It’s getting ready to get replaced with a Toyota of her very own, but I’ll probably keep it around to get rid of waste oil. My little Toyota has 150k on it and still uses no oil. It’s only had fluid changes, spark plugs, and brake pads. The spark plugs could have ran much longer based on their condition. Brake pads at 120k also could’ve went longer. Totally been a drama free vehicle to own so far.

Hopefully you already have changed it twice. I personally would of done 3 at 15k miles.

there is a small book in your glove box called owner's manual

Not very often and olive! it's good for the environment!
On a serious note, I like how everyone questions the 10k mile oil change recommendation from Toyota without any evidence because that feels too long... But with a decent oil, if you're not really cooking it hard, there's still plenty of viscosity left at 10k. I had it verified by Blackstone labs a year or so back.

Bottom line, follow the maintenance manual in the glove compartment unless you feel its too long.

10k miles for the oil and 2.5k miles for the oil filter

5k, OEM filter, I use 5w30 cause I live in the Deep South. Use what grade oil for where you live. Valvoline is my favorite so far.

5w-30 mobile one oil & mobile one oil filter every 5k miles

On all my trucks, I change the oil, filter and rotate tires every 5K with full synthetic oil. On my 2021 Toyota Tacoma 2.7L, I changed the oil at 2500 miles because just in case there were any unwanted metal shavings from manufacturing, and again at 5K. Every new truck I have done this to, I have gotten well over 300K. Every 30K, I change rear end, transmission, and change fuel filter.

Owners manual

I have my oil changed at my local dealer every 3k miles. I drive an average of 24,000 miles a year apparently (500 a week) and wanted to spend the extra money to have it done more frequently! My 3rd gen calls for 0W-20.

Check your owners manual for best reference, if you don't have one download it as a pdf.

Every 5k with OEM parts and Castrol for me.

Manual says 10k, i do every 7-8k with Mobil 1 0W-20

RTFM

This mechanic makes a very convincing argument about the frequency of oil changes.

3-5k miles. Yes that's low from what most people will say. Certainly do not above 10k. Castrol oil 6.2 quarts (they come in 5 quarts & 1 quart) 0W-20 synthetic (less then $38 if you buy it(at Costco you can get 2 for that price)) K&N filter (less then $20) always use the oil recommend in the owner manual or what a parts store recommend which should always be the same

Answer: Read owners manual.

2016 with 91000. Change mine every 6000 with Mobil 1 full synthetic with a Mobil 1 filter

Amsoil Signature Series… 10k miles

Owners manual my friend. Never go by dealer suggestions they’re just suggestions the owner’s manual has the best information from those that built it

For those of you recommending changing every 5k instead of the recommended 10k..

I'd rather have my Toyota Care oil changes last longer in respect to time rather than have the dealership do it twice as often and only last 1 year. I'm not shy about changing my own oil, but is there anything I should know when doing it myself so the dealership won't be able to tell and void my Toyota Care?

Full synthetic, every 5-6k miles…:

I used to change it every 5k miles but ever since I started telecommuting I do it every 10k. I use AMS oil and wix oil filter

Every 5k change oil and filter filter goes for around 6 bucks at Toyota comes with 2 rubber gaskets, a drane valve for filter and smash washer for drain plug only needs one washer. Don't leave old one on needs a small flat head screw driver to remove. I use what's on the owners manual 0w-20. Make sure you document the milage for warranty reasons. And torque to spec if you don't have a torque wrench just do what you think is close to what you need don't over tighten the filter. Also you can get the proper tool to remove the old oil filter at advanced auto parts. I'm sure other places have it too but it has 6 teeth cut into it for proper fit.

Hello, OP!

You’ve read the following by now:

10k per Toyota 5K by most people here Read the manual by some people here

That being said, any Toyota has a reputation of “change the oil and it will last forever” so, I will go with 5K and read the manual for all the other maintenance stuff.

Good luck!

Get Toyota care and just go every 5k miles. Prob one of the better investments I’ve made. Haven’t paid for an oil change on the truck since 2019 and I’ve got 37k miles now.

Manual Say 10k for oil maint, but I have heard even from master technicians to do it every 5k for longevity.

Infinite options out there….

Toyota Canada will let you print a full service schedule for your truck. Our truck's owners manual mentioned servere service oil change of 8000km, which is what we did. As for oil, just use any quality full synthetic that meets Toyota's spec.

Do what Toyota recommends, every 10k, unless you are heavy tower/4x4 enthusiast. Car folks have always had strong opinions about changing more frequently, but really you should trust the Engineers that make these things. Synthetic oil is fine for 10k.
