So.....
I bought a 2023 Tacoma last summer and am on my first oil change at 5K miles. I thought long and hard about changing it earlier but decided to wait until 5K. As some of you know, toyota has a 2 year 25K mile, maintenance covered plan. AKA Free oil changes and rotations. Well.... I went in this morning and asked what came with the 5K maintenance and specifically about an oil change. They said "its not calling for an oil change now. 10K only" I said nope, I want one at 5K for the first one at least. They said OK but you only get 5 total services for free. If you skip the first on and go straight to the second. you only get 3 more. If you come back at 10K and ask for another oil change, you skip the free rotation and only get one more rotation then done.
Seemed strange to me but OK. I got the oil change. The place opened at 7 and I got there are 6:45 and was first in line. I got out if there at 8:10 ridiculous. I change my own oil without a lift in 20 minutes. 10 if I have the tools handy and the oil is warm.
Never again but the good news is I only need to document 5 more oil changes to prove I changed it on the schedule for warranty purposes.
