    Hi everyone,

    My 26 XSE just hit 3 months old with 2.4K miles, ~20% of that were driven in HV mode.
    Should I do a break in oil change soon or just wait til 6 months? I am not into that 10K miles OCI non sense. I will buy a 5 quarts jug from Walmart and a Toyota oil filter and have my mechanic change it.

    TIA.

    Also, I am thinking of switching to 0W-16 OR 0W-20 at the first oil change. I am in the SF Bay area, climate here is quite mild.
    Any thought or comment?

    TIA.
