What engine oil and oil filter? Oil change intervals?

[Chileburger]

I’m new to this forum and new to trucks. I just purchased my ‘24 Tacoma and am looking for information on what oil filter and oil to use. I did search with no results.

I know Toyota recommends changing the oil every 10,000 miles, I intend on changing it every 5,000 or every 6 months whichever comes first. I also want to do a break in oil change at 500 miles.

I know some will say this is excessive but it’s as much about my brain as it is about taking good care of the engine.

Thank you for your help!

I agree with your intervals. As for oil & filter, I intend to go OEM. I think Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w20 is another good option.

I plan to go with oem filter and Amsoil Signature Series 0W20.
I will also use similar intervals to yours.
I've followed the break in oil change around 1000-1500 km and although minimal experience as this will be my 3rd new vehicle to date, following the intervals and using good oil has never done me wrong.

You'll be fine with the 5k changes. It's cheap insurance IMHO. A break-in change is also a good idea. Doing mine this weekend for a 3k break-in change. Wanted to do it at 2.5K but things around the house thwarted my efforts.

Oh, and I'm using Toyota filter 90915-YZZN1 purchased at Walmart for 7.59 and Mobil 1 0w20.

I ended up using the Toyota 90915-YZZN1 filter and 0w20. It’s a very easy oil change. I posted on another forum that you’ll need to remove two small panels, and a total of 8 12mm bolts to access the filter and the drain plug.

You should do a YouTube video. There's none out there yet on the 2024 oil change.

OEM Toyota filter YZZN1 and M1 0w20 EP, with one of the quarts being M1 5w30 EP.

Why do you use one quart of 5w-30?

To thicken it up just a little bit.

To thicken it up just a little bit.

According to the owner's manual:
SAE 0W-20 is the best choice
for good fuel economy and
good starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available,
SAE 5W-20 oil may be used.
However, it must be replaced
with SAE 0W-20 at the next oil
change.
I believe that the reason thin oil is used is because of the turbo. Thinner oil lubricates and helps to cool it better.

So, 1W-22

Does anyone know if there’s any type of of conditioner additive or break-in fluid added to the oil from the factory that might be a detriment if oil is changed too early for the first change? I intend to change oil every 10,000km which is 6000 mi.

I did break in oil change at 1500 KMS . I will do 2nd at 5000 Kms. Every 7k after that

From the videos The Motor Oil Geek has done on a 2022 Corolla, it doesn't look like Toyota is using any special oil/additives for break-in period. Further, he demonstrated how important it is to do your first oil change much earlier than the OEMs say. For his daughter's Corolla, the OEM interval is 10,000 miles. He did oil changes at 700 miles, 3000 miles, and 10,000 miles. 0W-8 Motor Oil: Too THIN to Trust? Let's Find Out! (youtube.com)

I've heard that while there isn't any such additives, there's a lot of moly and good stuff like that from assembly lubes etc. I wouldn't want to dump those out too soon.
