How often should you get an oil change?
- Follow the owner’s manual for the definitive interval; general guidance is every 3,000–5,000 miles for conventional oil and 7,500–10,000 miles for full synthetic under normal driving.

- We offer conventional, synthetic blend and full synthetic options; our technicians select OEM‑approved oils to meet Toyota specifications and maximize protection.
- Full synthetic oils provide better high‑temperature stability and longer intervals, delivering both immediate performance and long‑term savings by reducing engine wear.
- If your vehicle is under warranty, any required warranty repairs involving oil must be handled at a certified dealership to ensure continued coverage.
How much oil does an 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser need?
- The 4.0L V6 in the 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser typically takes approximately 5–6 quarts of engine oil with a filter change (about 5.5 quarts is common).
- Exact capacity varies slightly by engine variant and filter type; our technicians top off and verify the level on the dipstick to manufacturer tolerance.
- We use OEM filters and measure oil levels precisely to avoid under‑ or over‑filling — both of which can harm engine performance.
