Oil grade and capacity are checked against published lubricant application data where marked verified; part numbers and intervals follow Toyota's maintenance schedule. Severe use (towing, short trips, dusty roads) shortens some intervals. Confirm the part number against your VIN at checkout. Read the full disclaimer
