The 2011 Toyota Sienna requires 0w-20 oil with a capacity of 4.7 quarts. It is crucial to use high-quality oil to ensure the engine functions smoothly. Neglecting to change the oil can lead to engine issues, such as knocking noises, poor gas mileage, and a strong burning smell. It is recommended to change the oil every 5,000 to 10,000 miles to prevent engine damage and potential dangers.

The top pick for engine oil for the 2011 Toyota Sienna is the SAE 0W-20. Opting for this engine oil ensures excellent fuel efficiency and smooth cold-weather starts. The 3.5L (2GR-FE) engine of the 2011 Toyota Sienna requires 6.4 quarts (6.1 Liters) of oil, while the 2.7L (1AR-FE) engine needs 4.7 quarts (4.4 Liters) of oil.

I believe most folks use the 3.5L engine, which as Mara D. mentioned, has a capacity of 6.4 quarts. While it's a good starting point, it's important to note that not all the oil may drain out during an oil change, even when the oil filter is replaced, so you might not need the full 6.4 quarts. After pouring in 6 quarts, it's wise to check the dipstick to determine if more oil is needed. You might want to check out CarCareNut on YouTube; he highly recommends changing the oil every 5,000 miles to prevent engine sludge buildup and prolong the engine's lifespan. With regular upkeep, the 3.5 engine should easily last over 300,000 miles. Our 2011 Sienna hasn't reached 100,000 miles yet, and my wife thinks it'll be her last vehicle. Unless the current political leader (Brandon) bans internal combustion engines and leaves us all walking due to insufficient electricity for electric vehicles, I suspect our Sienna will serve us well.

Hey David, why are you connecting oil capacity with politics? It's so annoying how everything has to be tied to politics these days. I've personally tuned out the news and gotten rid of social media. My life has improved a lot and I'm a lot happier. Maybe you should give it a try.

Haha, who is this Brandon guy calling himself a communist? I agree with David about the importance of taking more walks, and with Come'on-Maan's point that we should cut out the nonsense on social media and reduce hate to reduce stress. Right, let's make sure to use 6.4 quarts of oil.
