How often should you get an oil change?

• For a 1995 Toyota 4Runner with a 3.0L V6, a common recommendation is every 3,000–5,000 miles for conventional oil and every 5,000–10,000 miles for modern full synthetic—intervals depend on driving habits and conditions.
• Severe driving (towing, frequent short trips, dusty conditions) calls for more frequent service; our technicians will recommend the best schedule based on your daily use.
• Regular dealership maintenance helps detect early wear, preserves warranty coverage when applicable, and often reduces total ownership cost by preventing major repairs.

What type of oil does a 1995 Toyota 4Runner take?

• The 3.0L V6 commonly uses 5W-30 viscosity, and many owners upgrade to full synthetic 5W-30 for better high-temperature protection and longer change intervals.
• Choosing synthetic delivers improved cold-start flow and thermal stability for both daily driving and heavy-duty use; our technicians will advise the correct spec for your engine and driving habits.
• We use quality oils and genuine filters; warranty-covered work must be completed at a certified dealership to ensure coverage remains in effect.

How much oil does a 1995 Toyota 4Runner need?

• The 3.0L V6 typically requires approximately 4 to 5 quarts of oil including the oil filter—most commonly around 4.5 quarts. Exact capacity varies by engine code and should be confirmed in the owner’s manual.
• At Coggin Toyota at the Avenues we top up to the correct level and verify with a cold/oil-pressure check to avoid overfill or underfill conditions that can harm the engine.
• Bring your owner’s manual or let our technicians confirm the exact capacity and recommended viscosity during service.
