The recommended torque for tightening the oil drain plug on the 2018 Toyota Tacoma is 30 foot-pounds, and it's important to use a new washer on the drain bolt. You can achieve the correct torque by using a torque wrench set to 30 foot-pounds. The oil capacity for the truck is 6.2 quarts with a TT filter or 6.1 quarts with an O TT filter. The recommended oil type for the Tacoma is 0W-20 Synthetic. It's suggested to change the oil and filter every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. To drain the old oil, use a drain pan and remove the drain plug. An oil change typically takes about 10 to 20 minutes to complete.
The recommended torque for the Toyota Tacoma oil drain plug is 13 Newton-meters or 10 foot-pounds.
