The amount of oil your 2001 Toyota Tacoma needs depends on the engine type. For the 2RZˆ’FE engine, it requires 5.8 quarts with a filter and 5 quarts without. The 5VZˆ’FE engine can hold up to 5.7 quarts with a filter and 5.4 quarts without. The 3RZˆ’FE engine requires 5.7 quarts with filter and 5 quarts without. The 5VZˆ’FE engine has a capacity of 5.5 quarts with a filter and 5.2 quarts without. The recommended oil for the 2001 Toyota Tacoma is SAE 5W-30. When buying oil, make sure to check for API certification on the bottle. Some options you can consider are SYNTEC Synthetic Motor Oil 5W-30 or Mobil Super Synthetic Motor Oil 5W-30.
My 2001 Tacoma 2-wheel drive, equipped with a 4-cylinder 2RZ-FE engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, requires 5.5 quarts of engine oil when changing the oil filter.
In 2001 Toyota Tacoma trucks, the oil capacities vary depending on the model and transmission type. For two-wheel drive models, the manual transmission with a 2RZ/FE engine holds 8.0 Liters (8.5 US quarts) of oil, while the same model with a 5VZ/FE engine holds 9.7 Liters (10.3 US quarts). For automatic transmission in two-wheel drive models, the 2RZ/FE engine takes 7.8 Liters (8.2 US quarts) of oil.
On the other hand, four-wheel drive models and the Pre-Runner edition with manual transmission have different oil capacities depending on the engine type. For example, the 3RZ/FE engine holds 8.3 Liters (8.8 US quarts), while the 5VZ/FE engine holds 10.1 Liters (10.7 US quarts). When it comes to automatic transmission in these models, the 3RZ-FE engine requires 8.2 Liters (8.7 US quarts) of oil, and the 5VZ/FE engine needs 10.0 Liters (10.5 US quarts).
