Complete Oil Specifications
Your 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser (2.4L Turbo) requires 0W-20 full synthetic oil engineered for turbocharged direct-injection engines. This is the all-new T24A-FTS engine that replaces decades of V6 and V8 powertrains in the Land Cruiser lineup.
Quick Reference
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Viscosity | 0W-20 |
| API Rating | SP |
| ILSAC Rating | GF-6A |
| Capacity (with filter) | 6.6 quarts |
| Oil Filter | Toyota 90915-YZZF2 |
| Normal Interval | 10000 miles |
Why 0W-20 is Critical for This Engine
The T24A-FTS is a high-output turbocharged direct-injection engine with a significantly higher power-to-displacement ratio than the V6 it replaces. The turbocharger bearing runs at extreme temperatures and depends entirely on oil pressure for cooling and lubrication. 0W-20 with GF-6A certification contains anti-Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI) additives that protect the direct-injection combustion chamber during low-rpm high-load conditions common to off-road and towing use.
Using incorrect oil will:
- ❌ Risk turbocharger bearing failure from inadequate high-temp viscosity
- ❌ Trigger Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI) engine knock in direct-injection events
- ❌ Reduce the oil change interval and accelerate deposits on injectors

Severe Service Check
You need the 5000-mile interval if you:

- Drive on steep mountain grades or high-altitude trails
- Operate in extreme dust or desert conditions
- Drive frequently at sustained highway speeds in very hot climates
Installation Details
Drain Plug Torque: 30 ft-lbs ⚠️ Replace the drain plug gasket at every oil change — the aluminum sump pan is vulnerable to leaks from a reused crush washer.

Pro Tip: After off-road use with water crossings or heavy mud exposure, inspect the drain plug area before and after the oil change for contamination. If oil appears milky or gray, stop driving and check for coolant intrusion.
FAQs
What oil does a 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser take? 0W-20 full synthetic oil meeting API SP and ILSAC GF-6A standards.
How many quarts does it need? 6.6 quarts with a new filter, 6.0 quarts without.
Can I use 5W-20 instead of 0W-20? Toyota specifies 0W-20 as the primary recommendation. 5W-20 may be used if 0W-20 is unavailable in very remote locations, but switch back at the next service.
Is synthetic oil required? Yes — full synthetic is required for the T24A-FTS turbocharged engine to maintain the 10,000-mile interval and protect the turbocharger.
How often should I change the oil? Every 10000 miles for normal driving, every 5000 miles for severe off-road or towing use.
