It calls for 0W20. Could I run 0W30 since it’s TT. Thanks.

Nope use factory spec oil... and have it serviced at the dealer. Keep that warranty in place... you will probably need it if the recent recall is any indication.
I’d at least like to get the oil changed every 5K even though it’s recommended at 10K. More than likely I’ll have the dealer take care of it.Nope use factory spec oil... and have it serviced at the dealer.

No reason reallyOK-I will bite. WHY?
I wonder what the dealer charges to have it changed at 5K.I would run Euro oil with MB229.5.
But considering issues with this engine, just do dealership changes because the probability is you will get a letter in the mail about the recall.

You’re under “Toyota Care” for the first two years. Tell them you use it under “severe service” and they will do it at 5,000 miles. Keep the factory service for warranty purposes.I’d at least like to get the oil changed every 5K even though it’s recommended at 10K. More than likely I’ll have the dealer take care of it.
I’m hoping to pick it up in a few days. Waiting on my payout from AAA. Not sure yet what the manual says.Seems like shorter oil change intervals are becoming popular again. Used to be 3K miles with dino and now 5K miles with synthetic.
Some are realizing that 10K miles is too much. My Tundra owner's manual says 10K miles but I've always changed at about 5K miles.
What does your owner's manual say? 5K or 10K miles?
also my OM says, thicker oil can be used .... Curious what does it say for 2024 models. Mine is a '16.
lol. Yeah I was thinking 0W30 after warranty.Texas, Truck, Turbo ... After warranty, I ditch the thin oil.![]()
The factory warranty is 60K power train for the first 5 years. This truck will not be a workhorse. What sold me on it was the gas mileage compared to the 4 runner. Bigger vehicle, more power with about the same…possibly more mpgs. I’m happy. The APR was less and the payment is about the same.I would run whatever spec oil they’re asking for simply because of the early bearing failures with these engines, and the fact that I’m sure Toyota (or any manufacturer) would love to void a warranty repair that is as costly as the one where the entire engine has to be removed and replaced with a new short block. And hopefully this never happens to you, but if it does you may want to have factory recommended oil in it.
I have run spec’d oil viscosity in Toyotas, and I’ve also bumped the viscosity up a bit on Toyotas. Both viscosities perform nearly identical in oil analysis’s on 10,000 mile plus intervals, yet I do prefer going with something a little “heavier” than 0W20.
