The 2016 Toyota Tacoma useS5.4 quarts of oil for the 2.7L 4Cylinder engine, and 6.2 quarts for the 3.5L V6 engine. Both engines use the same SAE 0W-20 oil, and Toyota recommends that You use synthetic oil every time it needs to be changed. There are two major types of oil on the market, synthetic and conventional. Synthetic is a newer type of oil that is made in a laboratory to give You better wear protection and longer life compared to conventional petroleum-based oil. This means with synthetic You should only need to change it every 7,500 miles compared to 3,500 to 5,000 with conventional. Make an effort to check Your oil at least once a month to make sure that it is free from debris or signs of damage.
