For the 2000 Toyota 4Runner equipped with the 2.7 L 4-cylinder engine, the oil capacity is 5.7 quarts with a filter, while for the 3.4 L V6 engine, it's 5.5 quarts with a filter. The recommended oil type for the 4Runner is 5W-30 Synthetic, and the torque for the drain plug should be at 27 ft/lbs. Synthetic oil is artificially made using chemical compounds, unlike conventional oil. It's essential to change the oil and filter every 7,500 to 10,000 miles as oil doesn't last indefinitely. An oil change typically takes between 5 to 20 minutes, depending on your level of experience. Some tools required for the oil change include a drain pan, gloves, ratchet, socket, and socket extensions.
In the 2000 Toyota 4Runner, the 3.4-liter engine and the 2.7-liter engine both require 5.5 quarts of oil.
