Probably above 90-100 MPH.Just curious how high is extremely high speed? Is there a threshold in speed or engine rev that we should keep our under under?
It's a LC. It will be fine.I pulled these guidelines from another thread in the forum that ironically did not have much discussion about the actual break-in period.

Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is recommended:
-For the first 200 miles: Avoid sudden stops.
-For the first 500 miles: Do not tow a trailer.
-For the first 1000 miles:
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive continuously in low gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.

Only the last point has me even slightly concerned. I take delivery of my LC this week. In a week and a half I leave on a road trip to Montana, about 900 miles round trip. It will entail interstate speed limits of 70, 75 and 80mph. I’ve done this drive dozens of times and it’s hard to imagine doing it without cruise control. Even without cruise control it’s ~14 hours (total) wirhout a lot of variation in RPMs.
It’s been 9 years since I bought a new vehicle and I’ve never followed strict break-in period guidelines before as my daily driving is quite varied and mellow.
Should I:
1. Just make the trip without cause for concern
2. Make my buddy drive
3. Drive my 80 series LC and stop at a gas station every 200 miles
It’s a LC with a brand new unproven turbo engine and power train. Give me a diesel I’ll agree with you.It's a LC. It will be fine.
Engine was released in 2021. Powertrain is a dumb down version of their regular hybrids, it will be fine.It’s a LC with a brand new unproven turbo engine and power train. Give me a diesel I’ll agree with you.

Toyota recommends 10K for the first oil change. 1K oil change will flush out any manufacturing debris in the engine. Then I change every 5K for longevity of the engine.this first oil change at 1000 mi, is that a Toyota recommendation? Is it just oil change, no filter? Thx
The 1000 mile change is due to recommendations from The Car Care Nut, and the Motor Oil Geek, two YouTube guys.. I would also do the filter. They’re cheap, $5 or $6 IIRC.this first oil change at 1000 mi, is that a Toyota recommendation? Is it just oil change, no filter? Thx
I am curious about the long term report on cars following Toyota’s 10000 miles oil change schedule. I am sure Toyota knows what they are talking about, but also I was surprised that they don’t have any maintenance schedule on the manual after 120K miles. Is that how they define the “life” of this vehicle?The 1000 mile change is due to recommendations from The Car Care Nut, and the Motor Oil Geek, two YouTube guys.. I would also do the filter.

Toyota recommends the first oil change at 10,000 miles, and every 10,000 miles there after, unless you dig into the owners manual and see that certain types of driving are considered harsh and punishing (sever duty) to the engine.
Majority of Toyota’s on the road probably follow the manufacturer’s recommended oil change schedule. Average owner doesn’t put much thought into car maintenance and follow what the shop recommends. Since average Toyota is reliable, it is probably OK for most cases.I am curious about the long term report on cars following Toyota’s 10000 miles oil change schedule.

Maintenance is for every 5K, but only every other maintenance has an oil change.I keep hearing every 10K for the oil & filter. But, the maintenance guide shows to get it done every 5K.
Not sure how accurate it was but my Chevy truck had a oil life percentage reading and they recommended to get it done at about 15%. Never seen this in another car. It came out to about 6 months on average for me. But I normally had to top off the oil before the 15%.
My old Audi was every 10k but I got it done about 7.5K because I felt better about it...lol.
The manufacturers suggested service intervals are based on driving conditions. There is a 10K and 5K oil change interval depending on which category you fall into. There are other items as well if you have been towing. It's in a separate little maintenance book or on the app. I'm going for first dealer service tomorrow at just under 5K on odo. Already changed oil once.I keep hearing every 10K for the oil & filter. But, the maintenance guide shows to get it done every 5K.

One follow up is I have watched videos circulating on this forum from the car care nut and a landcruiser enthusiast engineer. They recommend 3-5K oil change intervals on the LC250 because of the turbo. I've made the personal decision to not go further than 3500 miles on any oil change. Will cost more in oil but hopefully increases the longevity.I keep hearing every 10K for the oil & filter. But, the maintenance guide shows to get it done every 5K.
