Oil change

Getting close to first oil change. Not interested in going to dealer.
What type of oil does 2016 TRD sport call for?
Thanks.

 

Dude

 

It doesn't need oil

 

Your about to get a dozen replies telling you to read the damn manual. That's sort of how the TW crowd rolls.

The V6 takes 0w-20.

 

You should refer to your owners manual.

0W 20

You messed the streak up

 

I realize it's 0w-20. Big sticker when I lift hood. Any brand preference ? Synthetic? What brand dealer use?

 

Engine Oil

5.4 qt. (2.7-liter 4-cyl.)
5.9 US qt. (3.5-liter V6) 4x2 and 4x4

The oil is 0w20 synthetic for the v6.

Due to the rarity of my Tacoma, when I go to Japan I buy Nippon oil for it, and bring it back. Only the best for my baby

 

I drill for my own oil. That way I know it's done right from the get go.

 

Fracking is a thing....

 

100% pure canola oil. Don't buy into what the oil companies are trying to sell you.

 

0w-20 only comes in synthetic. I use Amsoil. But any good oil will do.

 

Ever opened your hood? It's written I think on the cap and a sticker on the hood.

Royal Purple.

 

Trying to help out the farmers. Good for you.

 

Toyota dealers use honda oil. This thread is stupid even for this part of TW. What brand oil do you think they use? And why does it matter if you arent going there?

 

Just buy whatever is on sale. Oil is oil until you start getting into the high end synthetic stuff like amsoil etc.

My buddy only buys unbranded crap oil from our local convenience store because it's like $1.99 a quart. His taco is over 200k miles without issue. Lol

 

allahu akbar! Now all you need is a HiLux..

 

I guess you could technically say it was "changed out". Good looking out for future generations!
