The 2006 Toyota Sienna requires about 4.7 liters (which is roughly 4.97 quarts) of SAE 5W-30 engine oil. This type of oil is popular because it is thin enough to move smoothly in colder temperatures but still works effectively in hotter conditions. SAE 5W-30 is a synthetic blend that helps lubricate the engine's moving parts and maintain its temperature while also containing additives to prevent corrosion. Unlike traditional oils, synthetic oil doesn't need to be changed as frequently, and Toyota suggests replacing the oil in the 2006 Sienna every 5,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. The cost to replace the oil in this vehicle typically ranges from $120 to $160, with labor making up around $40 to $60 of that total. Keep in mind that your personal driving habits will influence how often you need to change the oil.

The 2006 Sienna manual I own only recommends 5W-30 viscosity oil for the 3.3L 6-cylinder engine (3MZ-FE), and does not mention synthetic oil. However, I personally choose to use fully synthetic oil.
