If you own a 2004 Toyota 4Runner equipped with a 4.7 L V8 engine, it is advised to use 6.5 quarts of 5W-30 motor oil for optimal performance. While 5W-20 can be used as a substitute, it is recommended to stick with 5W-30. Although conventional oil is acceptable, switching to full synthetic oil can provide advantages such as improved cold weather starting, enhanced fuel efficiency, and better viscosity to maintain the V8 engine's longevity. With synthetic oil, aim to change it every 7,500 miles instead of the usual 5,000 with conventional oil.
