What kind of oil does a 2017 Toyota take?
Most 2017 Toyota engines use 0W-20 synthetic oil. The exact grade can vary by model and climate, so consult your owner's manual or the oil filler cap to confirm the specification for your specific vehicle.
Oil type by engine category
Below are the typical oil guidelines for common 2017 Toyota engine families. Use this as a quick reference, but always verify for your exact model.
- 2.5L 4-cylinder gas engines (for example, Camry and RAV4): 0W-20 synthetic oil.
- 3.5L V6 engines (for example, Highlander, Sienna): 0W-20 synthetic oil.
- Hybrid powertrains (Prius, Camry Hybrid, RAV4 Hybrid, etc.): 0W-20 synthetic oil.
- Climates with extreme temperatures or high-mileage engines may require a different grade per the manual (most commonly 0W-20, but some regions use 5W-30); verify on the cap/manual.
Concluding note: Always confirm the exact grade and specification from the vehicle's owner's manual or the oil filler cap on your engine to ensure compatibility with your 2017 Toyota model.
Summary
The standard oil for most 2017 Toyota models is 0W-20 synthetic. Check the manual for any exceptions, and follow the recommended API/ILSAC rating. Regular oil changes with the correct viscosity help maintain fuel efficiency and engine longevity.
