The 2.7 liter 4Cylinder engine of the 2008 Toyota Tacoma useS5.5 US quarts of 0W-20 and the Tacoma'S4.0 l 6-cylinder AWD is equipped with 5.5 quarts of 5W-30 or 4.8 quarts if outfitted with RWD. Oil and filter changes should be scheduled every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months if using fully synthetic lubricants, or every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months, if using conventional oil. The advantages of using synthetic vs conventional products include better lubrication among moving parts, a longer interval between service appointments and enhanced effectiveness under adverse weather conditions. A motor oil with a thinner viscosity moves more easily in colder temperatures, coating engine components efficiently and providing better protection against friction and corrosion. Cost for a lube and filter job for the Tacoma ranges between $130-$150 in parts and labor.
