How much oil to use.

Hey guys. Just wondering how much oil to add in my Tacoma if I did not replace the oil filter. Just drained all the oil and wanting to know how much to put back in.


Thanks.

 

Just curious, why no filter change? 4 or 6 cyl?

 

Depends on 4 or 6 cylinder but what's up with not changing the filter?

 

6 cylinder. I got my oil changed just 1000 miles ago along with a new filter. I have a timing chain cover leak that runs my oil low every few months and when I checked it yesterday it seemed low, so added oil, but I added too much. So I drained it all and bought 6 quarts, but am wondering how much to put in. Because I know some will still be in the filter.

 

Add 5.25 QTS if you don't want to spend the $3.14 for a new filter.

 

check your owners manual, it should specify how much oil to add with new filter or without new filter

 

I would man, but I can't seem to find it...

 

Okay that makes sense. I drained mine once and couldn't get the filter off to save me life. I thought maybe the same thing happened to you. I would start with short of 5 quarts and then check and add.

 

Thanks brother. Sure do appreciate it.

Thanks guys.

 

Good luck JP and welcome to the TW.

 

put 5 in and check it. mine takes 5 1/2 with filter

 

Thanks bud
