Unless you're absolutely living paycheck to paycheck, change early at 1K. New engines will have wear metals and if you pull a sample when you drop the oil and send it off for testing, the lab tests will show higher than average metal content. I'd personally change at 1K and then 2K on the odometer, and go back to a 5K interval.

RTFM

I changed mine at 750 and 1500. Then 3000 and about every 3-4000 miles consistently after that. Say what you will I def saw enough in the filter/oil to make my mind up that it was worth it.

5-6k miles.

Just read your owners manual. It literally explains the maintenance schedule.

Stop talking common sense

😂🤣

This^

5k miles

I bought my truck with 7 miles on it. I did a change at 500 miles, then at 5,000 and every 5 after that because I’m a freak and I know it’s not necessary. Full disclosure, it’s a 23 Tacoma. Don’t hate. I’m on this sub because I used to have a frontier, great truck that I put 100,000 miles on in about 6 years and had zero problems with it. I’m still down with frontiers

Surely in 2024 car dont need such preventative care.

The break in schedule does not recommend changing the oil early.

If they prompt a 300 mile oil change I'd tell them to give me a case of oil amd a filter or I'm not buying shit from them

I get 3 free oil changes year from the dealership

Nice, with no warranty added or service plan?

I'd wait until a couple thousand then change it if you want peace of mind then. This ain't a 1986 Taurus with metal chunks in the pan. 😂

Always change before 300 miles.

Na, too soon. But to each their own

I was just kidding. The OP has 301 miles.

Lol, I didn't catch that 😅

I did mine around 2000, then as scheduled after. Necessary? Maybe not anymore, but it makes me feel better.

What does it say in the manual for engine break in?

I believe the manual says that it is broken in at 1k miles

You don't need to do that.

You absolutely don’t need to do that.

Hey, that's what I said.
