Oil and filter every 5k miles give or take a couple hundred. Air filter... when it gets dirty or once a year. Which ever is first. Most of the time it is the year.
every 5k miles for me to stave off the inevitable HG issue. 160k miles on a 3rd gen which is notorius for HG problems if you don't change your oil.
This is normal. Funnily enough, a Toyota dealer is probably the cheapest place to get a 0w20 oil change (TGMO from Exxon-Mobil) and OE filter for your vehicle.
When I worked at Scarb.Lexus Toyota I remember the oil filters were definitely a different world of change from the filters you pick up in stores, everything from the seals to the inside filter paper were superior so I always get my filter from the dealer.
Plus I've been told its a better filter typically from the dealer.
Costco brand full synthetic w Toyota filter. Change every 5k or 6 months
I use only genuine Toyota oil filters, you can see and feel the quality, they even come with a pre-lubed "O" ring gasket.
My XJ channels its ww2 roots with Ford diesel oil and an FL-1A filter.
when I did the first oil change on my car I removed an aftermarket Filter. The OEM filter was about 1/3 larger, and weighed the same as the aftermarket filter full of oil. Just makes me wonder how much more there is inside the OEM filter.
Every. Fucking. One. Of those filters was fucked in there by a gorilla with a 1 inch impact. I fucking swear! What is it with lube monkeys and raping Toyota filters in? Hell, the last one I did still had the filter socket attached because that’s how fucking hard that thing got railed into place.
