2005 Tacoma oil weight?

[GearHead]

I'm wondering what weight oil to run in a 2005 Tacoma 4 cyl. 4x4. I've heard 5w-20 is the correct one but want to be sure. Anyone run anything different?

5W-30 is what your owners manual should say in it. The other option you have is to run a 0W-30. If your truck calls for a 30 weight oil stick with it.

Thanks! Yeah, 5-30 is what I run right now.

5w to 30. I think it is made precisely for truck engines. So this should be perfect.

5W-30 would be fine. It'w what Toyota suggests. But I think, you really don't have to worry too much about your oil brand or weight.

5w-30 is perfect. For sure, your truck will love it. If your truck can talk, it will thank you a lot!

Is it really different to a Tundra or Hi-lux? They were all trucks!

What are the difference between 5w-20 and 5w-30?
