The Toyota 4Runner from 2008 requires SAE 5W-30 motor oil. For the 4.0L V6 engine, it takes 5.5 quarts of oil, while the 4.7L V8 engine needs 6 quarts. Toyota advises using full synthetic oil for SUV changes. There are two main oil types: conventional, made from petroleum and used since cars were first made, and synthetic, engineered in a lab for enhanced protection. Synthetic oil should be changed every 7,500 miles, compared to conventional, which needs changing every 3,500 to 5,000 miles. It's recommended to check your oil monthly to ensure it is at the proper level and quality.
