What kind of motor oil does your Toyota 4Runner need?
Choosing a motor oil for your Toyota 4Runner can feel overwhelming, so let us break it down. You can always talk to your auto care tech to determine the best option for your vehicle.
Conventional Motor Oil: This motor oil has the lowest cost, and is sometimes preferred for older models.
Synthetic Motor Oil: This option can be favorable due to its performance capabilities. Plus, it can boost the longevity of your Toyota 4Runner oil capacity, so you’ll be able to go longer between oil changes.
High-Mileage motor oil: If your car has more than 100,000 miles, it’s a good idea to talk to your auto tech about a high-mileage oil change.
How do you choose a Toyota 4Runner oil filter?
Although you don’t need a special Toyota 4Runner oil filter, we recommend sticking with Toyota brand options. This will ensure good quality and compatibility, so your filter does its job of ensuring great performance and protection. You should also make sure that the filter you choose fits your vehicle before purchasing. Each time you get an oil change at Clermont Toyota, our techs will make sure you have the best Toyota 4Runner oil filter option for your vehicle.
What is your Toyota 4Runner oil capacity?
Your Toyota 4Runner oil capacity will depend on the model and engine of your specific vehicle. Typically, this will range from 5-8 quarts of oil. The Toyota 4Runner oil capacity can also be affected by the age of your car, in which case you can talk to your Clermont auto care expert or check your owner’s manual for more information.
How often do you need a Toyota 4Runner oil change?
Typically, your Toyota 4Runner will need an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, but this can vary based on the kind of motor oil you use.
