Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
2. Oil Change Interval
  • Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation:
    • Every 5,000 miles (8,000 km) or 6 months, whichever comes first for normal driving conditions.
    • For severe driving conditions (towing, extreme temperatures, stop-and-go traffic), consider changing oil every 3,000 miles (4,800 km) or 3 months.
3. Selecting Oil Type
  • Use 0W-20 synthetic oil for optimal performance and efficiency as recommended by Toyota.
