Toyota Care Oil Changes
Does anyone know or have experience with the month vs mileage recommended for the oil changes and if it would void the Toyota Care plan for oil changes if you don't follow it to a T. In the manual it recommends oil changes at 7,500 or 3 months. I have only put about 3,000 miles on the car and it is just under 3 months. Do I wait until the 7,500 mark to get it changed or would this void the plan if I don't get it done at 3 months. I ask this because my dealership extends the oil changes to lifetime oil changes as long as I abide by the recommended maintenance. Any input would help. Thanks

I used my first one at like 5k. Second one at like 13k and recent one at 17.5x. You can use it whenever you choose.

If they will extend your plan to lifetime, why not get it changed now? From what you say if you follow the rules you'll never have to pay for another oil change. Why chance it?

It's 7,500 miles or 7.5 months. It's in the maintenance guide. You get 3, which must be used within 23,000 miles or 2 years and 2 weeks. (There's a 500 mile, 2 week grace period at the end of the plan).
