In the two-wheel drive model of the 2014 Toyota Tacoma, you will need 4.4 quarts of oil, while the four-wheel drive version requires 5.2 quarts. Toyota suggests using SAE 0W-20 oil for your oil changes. There are two main kinds of oil available: conventional, which is petroleum-based, and synthetic, which is created in a lab for improved lubrication and protection over conventional oil. Synthetic oil also lasts longer, allowing you to drive more miles between changes. Typically, you can drive around 7,500 miles with synthetic oil and 3,500 to 5,000 miles with conventional oil. It's important to check your oil at least once a month to ensure it is at the correct level and free of any signs of burning or contaminants.
In the case of the 2014 Toyota Tacoma, if you have the 2.7L engine, the engine oil capacity is 5.4 quarts (5.1 liters) without the filter. For models with the 4.0L engine and 2WD, the capacity is 4.4 quarts (4.2 liters) without the filter. If you have a 4WD model with the 4.0L engine, the oil capacity is 5.2 quarts (4.9 liters) without the filter.
My Toyota Tacoma wouldn't start initially, but on the third try, it did. A symbol resembling an oil change notification appeared. Could that be the reason it's having trouble starting?
