Complete Oil Specifications

Toyota’s owner’s manual for the 2023 Sequoia (V35A-FTS) calls for Toyota Genuine Motor Oil or an equivalent ILSAC GF-6A multigrade engine oil, with a recommended viscosity of SAE 0W-20. Oil capacity is 7.7 qt (7.3 L) with the filter and 7.4 qt (7.0 L) without.

Can I Use 5W-20?

Only as a stopgap. Toyota calls SAE 0W-20 the best choice for fuel economy and cold starting. If it isn’t available, SAE 5W-20 may be used, but it must be replaced with 0W-20 at the next oil change.

Checking the Level After a Change

Toyota’s capacity figures are a reference for a drain and refill. After refilling, warm up the engine, turn off the hybrid system, wait more than 8 minutes, then check the level on the dipstick.

What We Couldn’t Confirm

  • Oil change interval. Toyota publishes it in the separate Warranty & Maintenance Guide rather than this owner’s manual section.
  • OEM oil filter part number and drain plug torque. Neither appears in the owner’s manual section used here.
