In 2016, the 2.7L 4-cylinder engine in the Toyota Tacoma requires 5.4 quarts of oil, while the 3.5L V6 engine needs 6.2 quarts. Both engines use SAE 0W-20 synthetic oil, as recommended by Toyota for every oil change. Synthetic oil, a more advanced type produced in a lab, provides better wear protection and longer lifespan compared to traditional petroleum-based oil. The synthetic oil only needs to be changed every 7,500 miles, whereas conventional oil typically requires changing every 3,500 to 5,000 miles. It's important to check your oil monthly to ensure it's clean and free from debris or damage.
