The 2008 Toyota Tacoma comes with a 2.7 liter 4-cylinder engine that requires 5.5 US quarts of 0W-20 oil. Alternatively, the Tacoma's 4.0 liter 6-cylinder AWD model needs 5.5 quarts of 5W-30 oil, while the RWD version requires 4.8 quarts. It is recommended to change the oil and filter every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months when using synthetic lubricants, or every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months with conventional oil. Synthetic oils offer benefits like improved lubrication, longer service intervals, and better performance in extreme weather conditions. Thinner viscosity oils move more effectively in cold weather, ensuring better engine protection against friction and corrosion. A lube and filter service for the Tacoma typically costs between $130-$150 including parts and labor.
