The 2012 Toyota Tacoma requires SAE 0W-20 oil and needs 5.5 quarts for a complete refill after an oil change. Toyota advises using synthetic oil for optimal performance. Synthetic oil is specially made in a lab to provide better wear protection compared to conventional petroleum-based oil. This results in longer-lasting synthetic oil, allowing for intervals of up to 7,500 miles between changes, whereas conventional oil typically lasts between 3,500 to 5,000 miles. It's important to regularly check your oil at least once a month to ensure it is properly filled and free of debris or burning indications.
