Oil Change?
Anyone done their own oil change yet? Are the filters the same as the 4Runner?

Me too, I used my free oil change at the dealership at 200 km. You should have seen the service manager's face when I told him I was finished with break in & to change the oil please.

Re: Oil Change?
Anyone know if they has special break-in oil in these? My salesman seemed to think they might but didn't know. I was shocked when he told me they don't call for an oil change until 8000 km (5000 mi) - that just seems insane to me. I was planning to go at 1000 miles.

Re: Oil Change?
Changed my own oil at 500. You could seevery fine metal particles when draiining the oil from the filter. I plan on the next change at 1500 then on the 3000 mile plan.
