Toyota's new 2.5L has proved itself

[Sienna dude]

Just wanted to share my experience with this engine. It has been running strong, I am just a little under 200k miles on my 2021. I know some who have hit the 300k mark as well. Oil change every 5k miles and coolant every 60k.
Buy a Toyota blindly with this motor, it is one solid little unit.
Cheers!

Good to know.

What about other fluids / maintenance? ATF change interval, etc?

Thanks for sharing.

Welcome. ATF every 60k, engine and inverter coolant every 60k, factory brakes still, spark plugs at 150k(They didn't look bad), Brake fluid once at 80k, hybrid battery air filter cleaned every month and replaced every 6 months, engine air filter twice a year. I buy the parts online so that helps. Top Tier gas and some Chevron Techron once in a while. And frequent driving the car as if I stole it lol. This Toyota eCVT is also pretty bulletproof.
No front diff fluid because it doesn't have it, and no alternator because the hybrid battery does that job. Still get 37-40 mpg. 2021 Sienna

Congratulations! Sounds like a win to me. But hey this is bobistheoilguy..... so what oil are you running?????

 

[fantastic]

That's a lot of highway miles. At that rate 300k should be no problem. Keep us updated. What is this engine in?

Mobil 1, Toyota a few times, Pennzoil once and Amsoil once. 0w-16 grade.

2021 Sienna

Saw a UOA of this engine here with HPL 0w30 and it looked better than my numbers. Either HPL is legit or 30 grade did the trick. It is time for me to switch to at least 0w-20

What causes you to drive 1000 miles a week on average? Work, commuting or “pleasure”?

Uber lol

 

[andyd]

would a 2016 Camry have this engine? Whatever it is both of mine are trouble free

 

[mdtn952]

OP...have you used 0W-16 oil mostly? always? sometimes? please elaborate.

Glad to see this. I have a 2023 Rav4..low miles so far. It is a fairly complex engine.

This is a hybrid

I too have this engine & hybrid system in our 2023 VENZA. No issues and(statistically) TOYOTA is the world leader in reliability and their hybrid vehicles supposedly have taken that reliability up a notch.

Always; 100%. Will use 0w20 for the first time in May this year

 

[chexxers]

not always but depending on job location, building construction my not stock 300 tq 2001 jetta1.8T seen a thou weekly traded at 200 thou running great!! oil changed every 10 thou, used amsoil 10-30 until i was unsure of its formulation then switched to Redline. now driving a 2001 TT 225 in nice weather using redline 15-50, my 11 frontier just switched to 10-30 HPL passenger car oil + seeing less consumption than typical group III fake synthetics!! the TT + Jetta both only held just over 4 qts!!

Yes always, 0w16 100% of the times

OP, 0w16 is niche oil and not necessarily available in Costco.
I intend to use Kirkland/Mobil 0w20 every 7500 miles on my 25 Rav4 and also live in TX, 16 is light in my opinion.
