Maintenance schedule for the NX350h

I performed a basic oil and filter change on my 2024 NX 350h today after 1400 miles. Easy process. A priority for me was installing a magnetic tipped drain plug. Sure enough, in the old oil was a surprising number (maybe 10 or so) of metal flakes, the largest being about 2mm. I will change the oil again in about another 2K miles. I suspect I'll find more flakes, but this time they'll be attached to the drain plug!

I performed another oil change on my NX 350h at 3,250 miles. Previously installed magnetic drain plug showed only slight traces of metal and I saw no "junk" chunks as I did with the initial oil change. I see now that Tundra pickups are being recalled for problems attributed to "machining debris" left in new engines. Problem supposedly applies to Lexus LX as well.

No, I don't drop the engine oil pan when I change oil, but when the oil drains I do inspect the bottom of the catching pan to see if there is any debris. My 2024 NX 350h AWD reached 7K miles yesterday, and I decided to change oil once again before the dealer service comes at 10K. No sign of debris in this old oil, and only a slight trace of fine powder was on the magnetic drain plug tip. I'm satisfied now that this engine is flushed of debris and will expect it will have a long life. 3K to 5K oil change intervals from now on. Intend to stick with Toyota's 0W-16 synthetic all the way.
