What I run in my GX460, 2nd cheapest oil on Walmart after Supertech, Chevron/Havoline 0w20: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Chevron-...hange-Box/274405536?athbdg=L1100&from=/search
Only slightly more expensive, Mobil 1 0w20 in the cardboard box also: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mobil-1-...Oil-0W-20-12-Quart/935258375?adsRedirect=true

I run Valvoline Extended Protection 5W-30 in mine. Runs smooth and you can run 30wt oils in these fine. As pointed out earlier it’s in the manual you can run a higher viscosity and I do. Last trip I took was a 16 hour drive at 70-80 mph without stopping other than fuel.
No sorry. It is a 2023, typo. It has the v6. Just bought it.
No it’s a 2023 not 2024. Sorry typo, it has the V6
Late to the party, but on my 2022 the first oil change at 4500 miles I used Valvoline Synthetic 5w30. Had the dealer do the recent one as it was my last free one and I wanted one on the record. They use bulk M1 0w20. Will be doing it myself with whatever 5w30 synthetic is on sale. I run 5K mile intervals. Did the same on my 2021. Both are 3.5 V6 trucks.
Not gonna get into the whole 5K vs 10K thing. I change mine at 5K just for piece of mind. There's several of these trucks with the 3.5 that have gone 200-300K miles on 10K oil changes. Then you have the few odd ones that the cylinder head goes bad before 40K miles running 5K oil changes. Luck of the draw on these trucks.

every 5000 miles, with a 0w30 or 5w30

I’m considering doing the same in my 2GRFE, but I’m a little hesitant because mine is spec’d for 0W20, which I’ve since changed out to 5W30…not sure I should bump it up the M1 0W40 FS, but it is almost a 30wt anyway. I do 10,000 mile intervals, currently running Amsoil Signature Series 5W30.
Apparently, offering two quality oil options for the manufacturer's suggested oil weight gets a downvote

There is no single oil weight suggested by the manufacturer.Apparently, offering two quality oil options for the manufacturer's suggested oil weight gets a downvote
I have a 2019 with the same engine. Amazing thing here is: 28,000 miles in a year or less! I don't quite have 25,000 yet!
I only change my oil once a year now. Pointless to do it sooner than that. I use Amsoil 0W-30.
With that much driving despite what people here are posting, choose a good synthetic oil and do 10K mile OCI's. 0W-30 works nicely.
The oil cap and manual suggest 0w20 unless under outlying conditions. Thus it is reasonable to recommend 0w20.

0W-30 oil with the proper specs maybe even a 0w-40 with the proper specs. I run 0W-40 in the 2006 4 cyl Tacoma, 2010 Ford Focus, 2015 Ford F150 with the 2.7 and the 2018 Ford F150 with the 6.2 gas engine. I would guess a 20wtmwould be fine if you did not push the engine.

I’ve run M1 Euro 0w-40 in my 23 Tacoma since 250 miles.
Just did an oil change in my 08 Tacoma today. I use 5w30 as specified in the manual. Been doing 8,000 OCI's and things have been good. Usual oil loss around 1/2 a quart between changes. I'm at 209k miles (215 if you factor in "lost" mileage for larger diameter tires). This is what the top half of the motor looked like when I did cam gears about 20k miles ago.
