Oil type 5w-20 or 0w-20 for my 2007 Tacoma

That other chart laid it out....I have the 06 with a 2TRFE....mine calls for 5w-30....I wonder if it was EPA pressure that they changed on the following years or if it was a design change in the engine? I'm trying to remember what years they went to low tension oil control rings but for the life of me can't remember.....oh well...as long as you change at 5k it probably isn't going to matter to much o suppose.

 

Mine is 2007 4cylnd and engine oil cap says use 5w-20 or 0w-20

 

I run Rotella T4 / T6 or Delo 15W-40 in every Vehicle, side x side, ATV, dirt bike, lawnmower or any thing with an engine I have owned for the last 15 years. Never had an issue, as long as you live in a moderate climate I don't think it really matters.

 

0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30, 10W-30 will all be totally fine in a 2TR-FE at most temperature ranges these run in. 2007+ engines came from the factory with synthetic 0W-20, but it's the same engine as the 2006 that came from the factory with 5W-30, i.e., there were no changes to the engine mechanically to allow it to run 0W-20.

No need to overthink it.

Thank you

 

What be best for hawaii tempature?

Reg 85 to 90 deg

Coldest 65 deg

 

I imagine any of the above mentioned....me personally I see no reason not to keep using my 5w-30 full synthetic....it's cheap and works great!

 

For just about every engine from every major manufacturer, there is a variation of oil viscosity, depending on outside temperatures and held engine speeds/load

The 1grfe seems fine, running on synthetic 5w30 from 10°F to 100°F (the earlier models actually have 5w30 engraved on the oil fill cap)

I have several motorcycles that call for 10w30 but in the summer, with traffic jams and 100°f temps, they run better on 15w40

Also, remember, everyone on the internet is an expert at everything...

Just use whatever it says on your oil filler cap.

 

Toyota 2TR-FE Recommended Oil:


65 °F = 18.3 °C, so you can use 0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30, 10W-30, 15W-40, or 20W-50.

It tells you what to use on the oil cap.

 

Always a solid way to go.

Do oil threads ever die. Just wondering.

 

Only if we ever stop responding to them so probably not. For some reason people on TW can’t resist telling others their opinion on all things oil. You just ask if 5 or 10k oci is better then sit back and watch the monkeys dance.

 

No
