5 quarts??

I changed the oil and filter on my 2006 taco and i put 4 quarts in, ran it for about 15 seconds, let it sit and checked the dip stick. Its reading WELL above full. Did i miss something?

 

I would drive it around the block. Then let it sit for 5 minutes and remeasure.

 

Alright I'll give it a shot. Maybe I didn't let it run long enough?

 

Yup, about 1.5qts

 

I'm aware 4 wasnt enough. I was told that after you put in 4 , run it , check it, then add accordingly. My issue is with only 4 added, its reading over full. And I let it drain for 30+ minutes. That's the confusion

 

Wait.. What engine do you have 6cyl or 4cyl?

 

6

 

2.7 is 5.5 quarts with filter IIRC.

 

Just a thought, idk.

Gremlins in the engine blocking oil? Try some Seafoam?

 

Exactly. I've only added 4 so far

 

Is this the first time you've changed the oil yourself?

 

Uh Oh!

The oil you drained wasn't pink was it? If it was you drained the transmission.

 

On this truck yes. Just got it in August

 

Good call. Didn't even think of it.

 

Ha forgot people do that..

 

Can you take a pic of the drain plug you removed?

 

No it was the oil. Just double checked haha

 

Nope.

2.7 L 4-cylinder (2TR-FE) engine. 6.1 qt. (5.8 L, 5.1 Imp.qt.)

4.0 L V6 (1GR-FE) engine. 2WD models except PreRunner: 4.8 qt. (4.5 L, 4.0 Imp.qt.)
4WD models and PreRunner: 5.5 qt. (5.2 L, 4.6 Imp.qt.)

 

Measure the amount that came out? Was it 4 single quart bottles your put in or the large jug?

 

We are due for a "halp!"
