The 2011 Toyota Sienna oil type and capacity is 0w-20 and 4.7 quarts. Having high quality oil is important for the engine to run smoothly. You will run into problems with the oil at some point. Old or bad oil can cause the engine to stop working. Knocking noise may come about from the engine. You could experience terrible gas mileage. A common problem is an awful burning odor. This needs to be viewed closely as soon as possible or the car might explode. Your oil needs to be changed out someday. Every 5,000 to 10,000 miles or so is a good rule of thumb. If You don't replace it, there will be problems with the engine.

The best choice engine oil for the 2011 Toyota Sienna is the SAE 0W-20. The SAE 0W-20 engine oil is the best choice for good fuel economy and good starting in cold weather. The engine oil capacity for the 2011 Toyota Sienna 3.5L (2GR-FE) engine is 6.4 quarts (6.1 Liters) and the engine oil capacity for 2.7L (1AR-FE) engine is 4.7 quarts (4.4 Liters).
I think most people have the 3.5L and as Mara D. Has already pointed out, it has a 6.4 quart capacity. That is a good yardstick to use but you should be aware of how much oil is still in the engine after a drain. Sometimes it doesn't completely drain and even with the oil canister being changed, it won't be a full 6.4 quarts. Once you put in 6 quarts, you should check you dipstick to see how much oil you need to add. Also, if you ever watch the CarCareNut on YouTube, he highly recommends changing your oil at 5,000 miles. This avoids sludge building up in you engine and lessening the life of your engine. The 3.5 with regular maintenance should get you 300k miles plus of service. Our Sienna is a 2011 and hasn't hit 100k miles yet and my wife expects that this will be the last car she ever owns. I highly suspect that unless the current Communist dictator in office (Brandon) outlaws ICE engines and we have to walk everywhere because there isn't enough electricity on the planet for everyone to have EVs.

Wtf David, what on earth does oil capacity have to do with politics? I hate how everyone has to relate everything to politics now. I personally just stopped caring about what is on the news and deleted social media. My life is way better and I'm much less miserable. You should try it.

LOL, Who the F is Brandon the communist. I do agree with David that we need take more walks and agree with Come’on-Maan that we need to cancel the BS on social and unsocial media and hate less so we stress less. Oh yea. 6.4 quarts it is on the oil.
