New LC250 Owner! Stoked to see what this new Toyota platform is capable of.

How long is everyone waiting to change their oil on the LC250? I'm at 800 miles so it's still being broken in. But I've been seeing other posts & YouTuber's changing their oil at 1K miles, 5K miles, and 10K miles for break in period and suggesting you do the same. With everyone bagging on the 4Cyl turbo being concerned about reliability this is definitely a good precaution and one I'm thinking of taking. I generally do all my own oil changes anyways. And Toyota will only change them every 10k miles for you with your 2 year service deal. Am I crazy for wanting to change it before 10K or even 5K miles? Also for anyone wanting to change their own LC250 oil for the first time or first time on any vehicle would anyone be interested in a Youtube tutorial on how to do it? I'll definitely make one if so.

Hey fam! I'm Kai.

I just bought an LC250 to add to my Toyota collection after owning a 5th Gen 4Runner for the last 2.5 years.
I was really skeptical of the new engines at first (I still am a little bit) but after driving/owning for around 2.5 weeks now I'm stoked.
I'm a professional photographer/videographer and do a lot in the automotive space especially overland & Toyota related.

I'm going to be partnering with some awesome companies to build this out, show you what it's really capable of and what this platform can do. I'll be using the LC250 to prototype new parts but also install current ones. I'm planning to post here frequently but you can also follow me on Instagram and Youtube for more content.

I'd love to connect with current & future LC250 owners so drop your handles down below! Or feel free to ask any questions about my experience so far. And let me know what kind of content/products you'd like to see on the new Land Cruiser.
