How much oil does a 1998 Toyota Celica take?

Most 1998 Toyota Celicas take about 4.5 quarts (approximately 4.3 liters) of engine oil for a full oil change, including the filter. The exact amount varies by engine variant and market.

The Celica lineup from that year used more than one engine option, so the oil capacity isn’t identical across every car. The following outlines the typical capacities for the main engines used in 1998 models.

Engine variants and oil capacity

Note: capacities below are approximate and include the oil filter. Always verify with the owner's manual or the dipstick after filling.

• 1.8-liter engine (commonly the 1ZZ-FE in many markets): Approximately 4.4–4.8 quarts (4.2–4.5 liters) of engine oil with filter.


• 2.0-liter engine (commonly the 3S-GE in some markets): Approximately 4.7–5.0 quarts (4.4–4.7 liters) of engine oil with filter.

If you are unsure which engine is in your car or you’re seeing consumption issues, consult the service manual or a Toyota technician for the exact specification for your VIN.

Practical considerations for a safe change

Oil grade and change interval

Use the manufacturer’s recommended oil grade for your engine and climate, commonly 5W-30 or 10W-30. Check the dipstick after filling to reach the correct level, and change the oil filter at the same time as the oil.

To ensure accuracy, always start with the specific capacity listed in your owner’s manual and confirm by measuring on the dipstick after a complete change. If in doubt, err on the side of a slightly smaller fill and top up to the full mark rather than overfilling.

Summary

In brief, a 1998 Toyota Celica generally takes about 4.5 quarts of oil with a filter, but exact capacity depends on whether your car has the 1.8L (1ZZ-FE) or the 2.0L (3S-GE) engine. Always verify against your specific model and consult the manual for the correct grade and interval.

How many quarts of oil does a 1.8 L engine take?

A 1.8-liter engine typically takes between 3.5 and 4.5 quarts (about 3.3 to 4.3 liters) of oil, but this can vary significantly by make and model. The exact amount depends on the specific vehicle, and you should always check the owner's manual for the precise capacity, including whether a filter change requires a different amount. 

• Check your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source for the exact amount of oil needed for your specific car. 
• Consult online resources: Use your car's year, make, and model to search for specific oil capacities on automotive websites or forums. 
• Add and check: It's best to start by adding about 4 quarts (or 3.5 liters) and then check the dipstick to ensure it's at the correct level. You can add more oil gradually until the dipstick indicates it's full, but do not overfill. 
• Factor in the filter: If you are changing the oil filter at the same time, you will likely need the higher end of the capacity range. 
• Safety note: Always wait a few minutes after running the engine for the oil to settle before checking the dipstick, and never overfill the engine with oil. 

How many quarts of oil does a Toyota Celica take?

The Toyota Celica oil capacity varies by model year and engine, but generally ranges from about 4.1 to 4.6 quarts (4.1 to 4.4 liters) with a filter change. For example, a 2001 1ZZ-FE engine requires about 4.4 quarts (with filter), while a 1997 2.2L engine needs approximately 4.1 quarts (with filter). Always consult your owner's manual for the exact specifications for your specific vehicle. 

• 2001 (1ZZ-FE engine): Approximately 4.4 quarts with a filter change, though this can vary based on the dipstick installed. 
• 2000 (2ZZ-GE engine): 4.6 quarts with a filter change. 
• 1997 (2.2L engine): Approximately 4.1 quarts with a filter change. 
• 1990 (2.2L engine): Approximately 4.2 quarts with a filter change. 
• 1987 (2.0L engine): 4.2 quarts with a filter change. 

Important: Always check the oil level after refilling to ensure the correct amount was added.

How much oil does a 4.0 L v6 Toyota take?

The oil capacity for a Toyota 4.0L V6 engine is typically 5.5 quarts with a filter change, but can vary slightly depending on the specific model and year. For example, some RWD base models require less, while newer 4Runner models might require more. Always check your owner's manual and confirm the correct capacity for your specific vehicle, and add oil until it reaches the proper level on the dipstick. 

• Typical capacity: 5.5 quarts (with filter change) 
• For reference:
  • Some RWD base models may require about 4.8 to 5 quarts. 
  • More recent 4.0L engines, like in a 2022 4Runner, may require 6.6 quarts. 
• Important: Always verify the correct amount for your specific vehicle and add oil until the dipstick shows the proper level after refilling.
