Congrats on the Land Cruiser and welcome to the forum 
Yes, lots of threads on the forum. The Toyota recommended oil change interval is too long for my liking, so I do the oil change about twice as often. I did a few break-in oil changes early, so I believe it had three before Toyota even did their first.

Congrats, with synthetic lubs, Toyota suggest 10k miles between. As mentioned there are a few threads on this forum.. Use the search feature and have a look...
Welcome to the asylum.
The search bar is your friend. You will find lots of opinions.
Many believe 1,000, 5,000, 10,000 and every 5,000 there after is the way to go.
The Car Care Nut and the Motor Oil Geek thinks every 3,000 to 4,000 miles might be a better choice for the T24A engines.
The Toyota branded oil (made by Exxon Mobile for Toyota, has a higher Molybdenum content and is thought to be more gooder than other brands.
Every 5k miles for me. That's what the car care nut recommends and what I typically do for turbo/DI engines regardless. Oil is cheap, engines are not.
I am at just under 9000 miles and have changed oil 3 times, this last one being upgrade to better viscosity.(1300,4400,7700) From here on I will let the test results guide me. Majority of miles are highway. I am not concerned about 5K with 5W-30 because it won't be near the end of its useful life at that point....I will leave that alone....hehe
