Oil change interval for 2024 Tacoma 4th gen hybrid and gas engines? Synthetic or conventional engine oil?

[Hare]

Dealer recommends 16000 km / 10000 mile oil changes here in Canada. With synthetic oil of course. I doubt anyone would want to wait that long though. ( I know this because I checked the oil service counter and it showed 15 xxx km left til oil service) hope this helps

I would not go over 7500 km myself. My two cents . Plan on changing original oil at 1000 km just to be sure to get any crud out. Oil is cheap compared to a turbo. The Car Care Nut has an excellent video on turbo care

Thinking 7500. I thought full synthetic oil was worlds better than conventional. 5000 on the tire rotations. May do first 1000 miles out of pocket.

Ya, your not wrong. I think I'll do my oil before 8000 km as well. It's cheap insurance for sure. I'll have to check out the car care nuts video. ( I enjoy his videos, he's probably one of the most honest mechanics out there tbh)

I change all my vehicles oil at 6 months and never put more than 5K in on my Tundra or Prius in that time. I have Toyota care with both vehicles but do my own oil changes. I don’t care to take service advice from a business that sells cars.
