Oil filter/oil capacity

I have a 2015 4.0 tacoma and I am looking to start changing my own oil , but I have some rookie questions. What is the best oil filter to use and where to buy? After looking through the owners manual I can’t seem to find the oil capacity?

 

grab a toyota filter and 5.5 qts of oil

 

Give this tread a read, just get the Toyota OEM filter

Amazon has good deals on cases of 10.

 

Every video I have watched they use 5 qts that’s why I was confused.

 

the extra .5 helps if you need to top it off

 

Put a little under 5.5 and it seems full. Im having a hard time reading the dipstick though. It seems like the lower half of my dipstick has oil on it. Hard to get an accurate reading.

 

Toyota filter FTW. I think Chris did a write up on all the oil filters and the oem one is by far the best. 5.5 wts for my 4.0 with the trailering package. Without the oil cooler it’s 5 (correct me if I’m wrong). I am a Pennzoil Platinum fanboy but all big name synthetics are great imho

 

I used the Toyota oil filter and a little under 5.5 qts of Pennzoil. The only problem I have is reading the dip stick

 

Yeah, theyre known for having crappy dipsticks. What I did is scored the readable part of the dipstick with fine grit sandpaper, works great now. Just be sure to get all metal shavings off first!

 

This has made life a lot easier.
