In 2018, the Toyota Tacoma requires 0w-20 oil with a capacity of 6.2 quarts. It is important to change your oil regularly, ideally every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Failing to do so can lead to engine problems. Using high-quality oil is essential for smooth engine performance, but issues with the oil can still arise eventually. One common indicator is a strong burning smell, which should be addressed promptly to avoid potential engine damage or even a car malfunction. Poor-quality oil can cause the engine to fail, resulting in reduced gas mileage and potentially causing a knocking noise from the engine.

    A person stated that a certain vehicle is not ideal for individuals over 6 feet 1 inch tall. However, I have to disagree based on my own experience. I am 6 feet 4 inches tall, weigh 295 pounds, and I own a 2018 TRD Sport crew cab truck. I can confidently say that I have no issues with the size of this pickup truck.

    The 2018 Toyota Tacoma suggests using a complete synthetic SAE 0W-20 oil for its 2018 version. The 2.7L 4-cylinder engine can accommodate 6.2 quarts of oil. On the other hand, the 3.5L V6 can hold 6.2 quarts for models equipped with a towing package and 6.1 quarts for those without it.

    I'm on the same page as Rick. I'm 6 feet 1 inch tall, weigh 275 pounds, and really enjoy driving the 2018 Tacoma Limited. The only downside for us is the absence of power seats since my petite wife, who is 5 feet tall and weighs 96 pounds, could use a boost.

    I'm not sure if this information is useful, but I own a 2018 Tacoma off-road with 70,000 miles on it. I've had it for over 4 years now and it's been smooth sailing. The engine still runs like a dream. I've taken it on rough mountain roads in Idaho and crossed the country with it twice. I also use it for city driving since I practically live in my truck. Overall, it's proven to be extremely reliable.
