I have a 2015 Tacoma 4-cylinder stick shift 52,000 mi. I bought it new. The only maintenance I had to do was oil changes and I go underneath with a grease gun and grease all the fittings along the axle.

okay naman ang Zic, which variant will you be using? Sa office namin halos lahat ng sasakyan, trucks and forklifts included, Zic X6000 ang gamit namin in the last 5 years, never had an issue with it

Pros: no issues in 5 years

Just got the oil lab report back from the sample taken during the oil change I did at 15K miles. The previous oil change at 10K was performed by the dealership. So that means that whatever the Toyota dealership put in there at 10K, was not OEM Toyota oil.

Pros: oil lab report back

Cons: not OEM Toyota oil

Vehicle: Toyota

Mileage: 15000 km

Always have done 10k on my ‘22 RAV4 hybrid, which equates to every five or six months (did the same on my ‘16 RAV4 hybrid as well), and do the same on my ‘12 Prius C I’ve had for 11 years now. No issues.

Pros: no issues, long term

Vehicle: Toyota

Mileage: 16000 km

Just hard to read with fresh oil. 0-16 was impossible to read on the dipstick when new in my 2022 Camry. Even my 2011 Corolla is hard to read.

Cons: hard to read

Vehicle: Toyota Camry
