2016 Toyota Tacoma Oil Type and Capacities

Toyota recommends that for all oil changes in the 2016 Toyota Tacoma, genuine Toyota motor oil is used.

I have done the work for you and found genuine oil and filter products on Amazon to make it that much easier for you.

The 2016 Toyota Tacoma requires 6.1 q or 6.2 q of 0W-20 engine oil depending on your engine type. See the chart below for recommendations.

Engine	Oil Type	Capacity	Filter
2.7 L (2TR-FE)	0W-20	6.2 q (5.9 L)	Toyota Oil Filter 90915-YZZG2
3.5 L (2GR-FKS) without towing package	0W-20	6.1 q (5.8 L)	Toyota Oil Filter 04152-YZZA1
3.5 L (2GR-FKS) with towing package	0W-20	6.2 q (5.9 L)	Toyota Oil Filter 04152-YZZA1

If Toyota engine oil is not available, an oil that meets the ILSAC-GF-5 multigrade oil specifications can be used.

Additionally, Toyota states that if SAE 0W-20 is not available, 5W-20 can be used in its place, but should only be used one change in a row.

The information provided in this article was taken from the 2016 Toyota Tacoma owner’s manual unless otherwise stated. It is your responsibility to make sure you use the appropriate oil in your truck.

The 2016 Toyota Tacoma 2.7 L engine requires 6.2 q of 0W-20 engine oil.

3.5 L 2GR-FKS Engine

The 2016 Toyota Tacoma 3.5 L engine requires 6.1 q or 6.2 q (with towing package) of 0W-20 engine oil.

It also requires the 04152-YZZA1 Toyota Engine Oil Filter.

The 2GR-FKS engine is a 6 cylinder V type engine.

Because the filter type wasn’t mentioned in the owner’s manual, I came across this video below of a guy going through an oil change on a 2016 Toyota Tacoma and he used the oil filter listed above, so I feel pretty confident in making a recommendation to use this filter.
