Picking up a new 09 4.0L V6 Tacoma this weekend. My plan is to leave the factory oil in there until about 1k miles and do a oil change. Then do the next one 4k later at the 5k mark. And do them every 5k from there on out. Question is do you guys think at 1k it's to early for synthetics? I've been running 5-30 PP in the wifes Suzuki Aerio 2.3L with fantastic results; first change was very blk but the 2nd one is staying clean much longer. MPG's are better than the car has ever seen. So I'd like to run the PP in the Taco too. but should I do a regular dino change until 10k? And if I do dino changes, Pennzoil or Valvoline?
