The recommended oil types for the 2008 Toyota Tacoma are 0w-20 and 5w-30. It is important to change the oil periodically, ideally every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Neglecting oil changes can lead to engine problems. Using high-quality oil is crucial for optimal engine performance. Issues with the oil may manifest as a pungent burning odor, which should be addressed promptly to prevent potential car damage. Poor-quality oil can result in engine failure, decreased fuel efficiency, and the emergence of engine knocking sounds.
