How much coolant does a 2014 Toyota Tacoma v6 take?

The 2014 Toyota Tacoma with the 4.0L V6 typically needs about 9 quarts (roughly 8.5 liters) of coolant to fill the entire cooling system. If you’re doing a full coolant flush, plan for roughly 9–10 quarts (8.5–9.5 liters) to ensure a complete refill.

The exact amount can vary slightly depending on how much of the system you drain (full drain vs. radiator-only drain) and whether the heater core is included in the refill. Always verify with the vehicle’s service manual or a Toyota dealer for the most precise specification.

Estimated coolant capacity for the 2014 Tacoma V6

Below are typical figures used by technicians when filling the cooling system from empty. Use these as practical guidelines for maintenance tasks.

Before listing, note that the following figures reflect a full-system fill and may vary with draining methods.



• Total cooling system capacity (radiator, heater core, hoses, engine passages): approximately 8.5–9.5 quarts (8.0–9.0 liters).


• During a complete coolant flush, you may need about 9–10 quarts (8.5–9.5 liters) to fully refill and prime the system.

These numbers provide a practical range for planning coolant purchases and refills. For exact quantities tailored to your vehicle, consult the owner's manual or a certified Toyota service technician.

Bleeding and refilling the cooling system

Properly bleeding the cooling system helps prevent air pockets and overheating. Here are general steps to follow, in outline form:

1. Ensure the engine is cool before starting. Park on a level surface and set the parking brake.


2. Use the recommended coolant. If using concentrate, mix with distilled water to the 50/50 ratio unless your coolant is pre-diluted.


3. Pour coolant into the reservoir up to the Full mark with the engine cold. Do not overfill when cold.


4. Install the radiator cap only after the system is filled and the engine is cooled again if needed.


5. Start the engine and set the heater to HOT. Allow the engine to reach operating temperature to help bleed air from the system.


6. With the engine running, gently squeeze and release the upper radiator hoses, topping off the reservoir as air escapes until the level stabilizes.


7. Turn off the engine, wait a few minutes, then recheck the coolant level and top off as necessary.

Note: Some vehicles may require a specific bleeding procedure. If overheating recurs or coolant level continually drops, have the cooling system inspected for leaks or blockages.

Summary

For a 2014 Toyota Tacoma V6, plan on about 9 quarts (roughly 8.5 liters) to fill the cooling system, with a typical range of 8.5–9.5 quarts depending on drain method. A complete flush may require 9–10 quarts to fully refill. Use the recommended coolant type and follow proper bleeding procedures to ensure a reliable, leak-free fill.
