The 2004 Toyota 4Runner is equipped with either a 4.0 L V6 or 4.7 L V8 engine, both of which require SAE 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil for all driving conditions. The oil capacity for the 4.0 L V6 engine is 5.5 quarts with a filter, while the 4.7 L V8 engine holds 6.6 quarts with a filter. The drain plug should be tightened to 30 ft/lbs of torque for the 4.0 L V6 and 29 ft/lbs for the 4.7 L V8 engine during oil changes. Regular oil changes are necessary to maintain engine cleanliness and prevent oil degradation, which typically occurs after a certain mileage interval. Since synthetic oil is used, it is recommended to change it every 7,500 to 10,000 miles along with the oil filter.
