Maintaining proper engine oil levels and using the correct type of oil is critical for engine performance and longevity - especially with the turbocharged T24A-FTS engine found in the 2025 4Runner. There will always be people who swear by different methods, different products, specific brands and the list goes on.

Recommended Oil Type​

Toyota recommends Toyota Genuine Motor Oil or an equivalent that meets the following criteria:
  • Oil Grade: ILSAC GF-6A
  • Viscosity: SAE 0W-20
  • SAE 0W-20 offers ideal performance for fuel economy, engine protection, and cold-start reliability
If 0W-20 is unavailable in a pinch, SAE 5W-20 may be used temporarily but must be replaced with 0W-20 at the next oil change.

Oil Capacity​

Oil capacity depends on whether or not the oil filter is replaced during the change:
  • With Filter: 5.9 qt. (5.6 L)
  • Without Filter: 5.6 qt. (5.3 L)
Always warm up the engine and wait about 8 minutes before checking the dipstick. Oil level should fall between the low and upper refill marks.

Oil Change Notes​

  • After changing the oil, reset the maintenance data in the multi-information display
  • Overfilling or using the wrong viscosity can damage the engine
  • If you frequently tow, idle for long periods, or drive short distances in cold weather, check your oil more often
