Toyota Tacoma Oil Change Interval & Oil Type
When to change the oil on a 2016-2023 (3.5L V6) / 2024+ (2.4L turbo) Toyota Tacoma, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | 10,000 mi / 12 mo synthetic (normal); 5,000 mi / 6 mo severe (off-road/dusty) |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 3.5L V6 (2GR-FKS) or 2.4L turbo (i-FORCE); 0W-20 synthetic |
| Oil filter | Replace with every oil change |
Toyota Tacoma note: As a truck, the defining items are gear oils: change front/rear differential and transfer-case fluid ~every 30,000-60,000 mi if you off-road or tow — more than the engine needs.
