+1 That should work just fine, and it's easy to get too.

Any API SP licensed oil would be fine. That engine isn't particularly sensitive to engine oil selection.

I recommend 5k intervals. Any synthetic (even value-priced ones) would work well for long life of your engine.

I recommend any API SP or GF-6a 0w30 or 5w30. These engines do sometimes have a bit of fuel dilution and the 30 weight gives a bit more cushion.
I run HPL P+ 0w30 in mine.
Really doesn’t matter much. I have run many intervals using kirkland 5w30 and M1 0w40.
You are in luck,besides oil, oil and air and cabin filters I have only replaced the plugs, coolant, brake fluid transmission fluid, power steering fluid xfer case and differentials and am 3/4 through my second set of tires( have 45 k on a set of general at2s) brakes are still good so driving style contributes, No unexpected repairs. 2018 with 85,6xx miles.

I just bought a 2024 Tacoma and I dumped the factory fill at 550 miles and I put Mobil 1 EP 5w-30. This is what I run in all my Toyotas except my LC, I use HPL PCEO 5w-40.
What interval do you change the oil?
5k-7k depending on how I use the truck. This is the same with all my Toyotas. My LC doesn’t get driven much about 2k a year and I’m changing that oil every year before I let it sit for 3 months in the winter.
For you I would run Mobil 1 ep 5w30 or whichever synthetic you like but I would favor on the 5w30 side, especially if you are planning on hauling or towing anything with it, I would run 5k and get the oil tested to see where you are at with your driving style and see if you could go longer and do that.
I had mine checked on my previous 4 runners at 5k and I pushed those out to 7k or so because I had a lot of oil life left, but I will change it earlier 5k if I towed with a lot or was feeling like I was running it harder.
Everyone is different, that’s why I would just test it at 5k and then you will no how long to go and you can adjust from that dependent on how you are using it.
5K OCI and 10K with a quality filter.
Bang for the buck--- QSUP 5W30
