Toyota Land Cruiser Oil Change Interval & Oil Type
Compiled & reviewed by Nikolai Tsyrenov · Updated 2026-06-25
When to change the oil on a 2024-2025 (J250, revived) Toyota Land Cruiser, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | 10,000 mi / 12 mo; severe (towing/off-road) 5,000 mi / 6 mo |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 2.4L turbo i-FORCE MAX hybrid (T24A), 0W-20, 8-speed auto, body-on-frame 4WD |
| Oil filter | Replace with every oil change |
Toyota Land Cruiser note: The i-FORCE MAX turbo-hybrid adds a separate inverter coolant loop, and as a body-on-frame off-roader, frequent trail/water use calls for earlier diff and transfer-case gear-oil changes. (Brand-new J250 platform — verify against your manual.)
