FF oil analysis or wait?

[Ausfahrt]

My 2015 Toyota Tacoma is approaching it's first oil change and I plan on having the oil analyzed periodically. Should I start with sending out the FF or should I wait a few cycles before establishing a baseline?

I usually wait until the third oil change. Ed

No sense in doing it before about 20K miles.

+1 The FF wont offer much in terms of the longevity of the engine. Give it a few changes until all the wear metals etc. are flushed out and your engine is ready for a long and fruitful life.

I think that we have a concensus, thanks for the replies.

WAIT for it.

Don't waist your money on used oil analysis, except if you suspect oil contamination with coolant, high fuel, or dirt.
