The 2009 Toyota 4Runner with its standard 4.7-liter V8 engine requires 6.2 liters (6.55 quarts) of SAE 5W-30 motor oil, a popular choice for its engine protection and cooling abilities in various climates. Toyota suggests changing the oil every 5,000 miles or 6 months, particularly if you engage in frequent off-roading or towing. Checking the oil level regularly is advised to maintain engine health, as this fluid lubricates components, prevents corrosion, and aids in cooling. The estimated cost for an oil change service is around $120 to $150, with labor costs ranging from $40 to $50. DIY maintenance can save you some money.

For the 2009 Toyota 4Runner, the top pick for better fuel efficiency and easier cold-weather starting is SAE 5W-30 oil.
