1st maintenance - no oil change?

A lot of people will have opinions on this. My first oil change on my new 2022 was at 1000 miles (i did it) and then 5000 going fwd. i dont agree going to 10000 before changing. Hell changing at 3000 would be better than 10000

 

i agree. Id also recommend learning how to change your own oil. Too many horror stories with dealership oil changes

 

Change it every 100 miles even better!

 

100 crank rotations would be better.

 

The filter is catching any larger metal pieces. Anything smaller isn’t going to harm an engine. It’s completely normal. The majority of people do not do an early oil change and their engines aren’t seizing.

 

Your 4runner or any other vehicle absolutely do not require a ridiculous oil change at some early interval. Not one manufacturer recommends this and your Toyota engine will go at least 500k with 10k oci with synthetic.

 

was your 2016 new when you bought it and if yes, when did you do your first oil change. Be honest now….

also i wasnt talking about changing your oil every 3000. I was only referencing the 1st oil change.

 

Used and changed every 10k miles

 

When you bought it used, did you change out the oil and font/rear diffs when you got it home for peace of mind and start things “new”?

 

Wait wait wait,,, you sold your Pro last year and went to a Honda Accord. You have no say on this forum any longer!! Lol just kidding, we know you’ll come back to your senses and get a 4runner again.

 

I still have a tacoma! Lol

 

phew!! I thought we lost you there…

 

I'm creeping up to 3800 miles or so. Thanks for the heads-up that Toyota DOES NOT do the oil change at 5K. I'm going to have them change mine since I tow (only once since purchased in August.) NO big deal if I have to pay so long as they do everything else they're supposed to. Just checked my oil levels the other day and all is well.
