About: Toyota Tacoma

I have a 2006 Base 2 Wheel Drive Automatic Tacoma. How often do you have to change the oil? 3,000 or 5,000? Out 2006 Camry, they recommended 5,000 miles.

Yes, despite the recommendations of higher oil changes, I always change at 3,000. It's not that much more expensive and keeping clean oil in the crankcase is the best way to avoid engine probs. down the road.

Toyota manual says 5,000. Even has a "maintenance required" light that comes on at 5,000 miles to remind you.
