When the 2018 Toyota Avalon has the standard 3.5-liter V6 engine, it requires 6.1 liters (6.45 quarts) of 0W-20 motor oil. The hybrid version, on the other hand, needs 4.4 liters (4.65 quarts) of the same viscosity oil. For the regular model, Toyota suggests changing the oil every 5,000 miles or 6 months. Conversely, the hybrid model should have its oil replaced every 10,000 miles or 12 months. Your oil change schedule will depend on factors like your local conditions and driving style. While SAE 0W-20 oil is thinner than some other synthetic options, it performs well in cold weather. The average cost to change the oil in a 2018 Avalon ranges from $130 to $160, with labor costing approximately $40 to $60.
The recommended oil for the 2018 Toyota Avalon is 0W-20 synthetic, and you'll need 5 quarts to fill it up.
