Oil and oil filter help

What oilis used and part number for the oil filter.? I have 2021 tacoma sr access cab, 4 cylinder?? You guys use synthetic or reg oil?

 

synthetic but check out their website or call your dealership for their number

 

There is a sticky that has all of this and more, can't see it right now but do a search. It has torque values for everything and which fluids to use and aftermarket parts...everything you need to keep the truck running as long as you own it.

EDIT: found it: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/3rd-gen-diy-maintenance-quick-reference.406712/

 

Use oem filter and Amazon basics synthetic. All in less then $30 from amazon.

 

I hardly drive it should I still put synthetic oil? I put about 4 k a year.

 

Yes

 

Ok also when should I change my oil? Waite for the light tooo come on or change it once a year?

 

Don't know what manual says on 4 banger, but V6 is 10k, or 5K with heavy use.

 

I think oil breaks down after a while. I've been driving about 4k a year also and change it once a year anyway

 

I should Waite till I hit 10k? Before first oil change? Only driven on the weekend not heavy use

 

Change it once a year if driven like that, or around every 5k miles, whatever comes first.

 

In your case it would be every year.

 

I use OEM filters and whatever Syth is on sale full syth that is... Castrol Magnatec I found for a song on WOOT once and now have about 10 oil changes worth.... Changing and checking oil is more important than the type I have been told many times. I also have

for easy (er) oil changes....

 

oil should be changed by distance interval OR Time.... not just distance. I have heard every 6 months....

 

I dont think you can find 0w-20 in a non-synthetic.

 

You wouldn't want a non-synthetic motor oil anyways. If you can't get 0w-20 full synthetic for that engine 5w-20 is fine to.

 

If you're using the recommended 0w20 then you don't have a choice but to use a synthetic.

 

Filter is probably still

American manual calls for 0W20 because CAFE
at 4k/year, swap out oil once a year.

 

Im doing OEM filter, and either Kirkland or Walmart synthetic. I dump it around 3750. I know its overkill but I dig messing with it.

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20 Equal to my beloved Amsoil at 1/3rd the price. Best value in a top-shelf motor. Be careful of the labels many Pennzoil containers look alike.
