Solution
1. Refer to Owner's Manual

  • Identify the section on maintenance schedules.
2. Follow Manufacturer's Recommendations
  • For normal driving conditions, Toyota recommends changing the oil every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.
  • For severe driving conditions (short trips, extreme temperatures, towing), consider changing the oil every 5,000 miles or 6 months.
3. Monitor Oil Level and Condition

  • Look for signs of contamination or a significant change in oil color and consistency.
