2009 Oil Amount?

Hello,
I have always been putting in 5.5 Qts for the engine. Have any of you put in 6 qts? It should be fine right... I mean its only .5 Qt extra... thanks!

 

An extra half liter wont really hurt anything, that said personally I would put what the toyota spec is and not over fill it.

 

I put in 6qts. Fuck it.

 

how long have you been in putting in 6 qts? I got this truck brand new and I have always been changing oil 5.5 qts. Im tried of the measuring the half the qt... hehe. Besides, after 6 months. It seems like the truck eating a bit of oil.

 

If its burning oil that's a separate issue that should be looked into. Check the timing cover for leaks. It's a known issue.

 

That's like saying I'll have an extra slice of pie today because I'll be hungry again tomorrow.

Don't be lazy. Do it right.

 

70k miles. I also run a oil catch can. Measuring it isn't the issue. Just eye ball that .5 qts. I just don't like having half a bottle of oil sitting around, so in the truck it goes.

 

I like pie.

 

yeah hair pies! hahahaha!! I have to wait until Spring again to change my oil. I change it only twice a yr with Mobil 1 High mileage and extend preformance.
