The kind of oil the 2009 Toyota Tacoma takes iS5w-20 or 0w-20. 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.

Toyota recommends using SAE 5W-20 or 0W-20 for the 2009 Toyota Tacoma. For the 6-cylinder engines, SAE 5W-30 engine oil is recommended. The 6-cylinder engine can also use SAE 10W-30 oil, but it should be changed to SAE 5W-30 when possible.
