Oil Change on 2012 Tacoma

[johnz2]

I have a 2010 Tacoma with the base 4 cylinder engine. When changing the oil and filter how many quarts are needed and which SAE? Thanks.

5+ if you are changing the filter, sae 5w-20. I'd add 5 quarts, run her a minute, then check the level and top off. The manual should have the exact volume needed if you have one.

Id add about 4.5 and then turn it off a few seconds and then recheck it to see if you need to add more. You might just need to add a touch more.

I think it comes in the manual. You should have it, since it is still new. Oil change is the very basic in auto maintenance.

sae 5w-20 IS PERFECT FOR TACOMA. I would say a 4.5, since it's only a change of oil. Trust your gut feeling.
