The 2003 Toyota Tacoma recommends using 5W-30 full synthetic motor oil. The rear-wheel drive models have a capacity of 6 quarts, while the 4-wheel drive models take 5.8 quarts. Adhering to the manufacturer's oil recommendations helps maintain the engine's performance and prolongs the car's lifespan. Regular maintenance, like changing the oil every 3500 to 5000 miles, is key to optimizing your vehicle's performance in the long term. This service typically costs between $100 and $145 and can be completed in less than an hour. To save money, consider learning how to change the oil yourself and purchasing oil from stores like Autozone or similar auto retailers.

I have a 2003 Tacoma with 4-wheel drive. It doesn't use full synthetic oil; it needs conventional 5w30 motor oil as stated in the manual. I've had this truck since it was brand new. That's all there is to it.
