Never thought a 500 mile oil change would be necessary with new engines but… figured I might as well as our engines are turbocharged. Looked through the “old” oil and actually saw a few shavings. Glad I did it and will likely do another around 1.5-2k miles.
 
That’s dedication! With the turbo though, it’s probably well worth it. I think ToyotaCare omits the 5k change so I’ll likely do that one. My planned interval is:

-500
-1500/2000
-5000

After the 5k I’ll let ToyotaCare do the 10k, don’t really trust them much though…, and then every 5k after whether it’s Toyota or myself.
