Engine oil OEM Toyota or Pentosin
My 2014 had 226K changed it at toyota every 10K no issues
I have been using the Pentosin in mine and have not had any cam issues after putting in a new cam.
I paid $15.85 per US quart for Toyota Genuine 0W8 oil in Canada.
Do it, new engines throw off a lot of burs and metal particulates before the parts get seated. I changed the oil on my 2023 venza limited at 950miles. Listen to the car care nut master Toyota tech who sez change the oil at first 1kmiles. He cuts open his filter after 1k miles and the filter is full of metal particles.
I just changed the oil in our new 2023 RAV 4 Prime at 1,000 miles, we have been driving in HV mode to run the engine for break in. I also sent off an oil sample, but have not received the results yet. I did open open up the oil filter and found some tiny bits of metal! At least the filter catches it. I have always changed the oil after the first 1,000 miles in our new cars (Toyotas the last 30 years). Also the dealer said every 10k miles but I always do it at 5k.
I feel it is a good idea to change the oil after the first 500-1000 miles.
I do this just in case something got left behind in the manufacturing process that I don't want circulating in the engine.
There is no guarantee this will make any difference in the life of the engine.
I did my 2024 corolla cross at 1300 miles. Will do it again at 5k miles, and then standard 5k after that. Toyota does them at 10k because it saves them money since they give you a couple free ones off the get go.
I changed my 24 Camry hybrid at 1500 miles. The oil was BLACK and there were a fair amount of metal fragments in the oil as well. For me, the cost to rid the engine of th ebreak-in metal wear is totally worth the $30 it cost me to do it.
its really only an issue on track if youre running sticky tires. running 0.5-1.0qt overfill seems to be a decent solution on track
I used Toyota OEM oil twice and was disappointed by the way it changed color at less than 5,000 kms. Two different mechanics asked me if I had delayed the oil change. Since then I started using Synthetic 0W-20 and never had any complaints.
