For the Toyota 4Runner made in 2003, it is recommended to use 5W-30 Synthetic oil in all temperatures for both the 4.0 L V6 and the 4.7 L V8 engines. The vehicle's oil capacity is 5.5 quarts with a filter for the 4.0 L V6 and 6.6 quarts with a filter for the 4.7 L V8 engine. Using oil is crucial as it helps keep the engine clean and prolong its lifespan. It's advised to change the oil in the 4Runner every 3,000 miles or so because the oil will degrade over time. It's also a good idea to replace the filter during the oil change. Typically, the cost for an oil change service ranges from $40 to $50 for labor.

Hey Joe, don't worry about adding a little extra oil to your 4Runner or any vehicle, it won't cause any problems. The V6 engine is designed for 5.5 quarts, but adding 6 won't have any adverse effects. Cheers!
