What kind of oil does a 22re take?


As a seasoned auto service provider, I often get asked about the best oil for specific engines. One common inquiry is regarding the Toyota 22RE engine, a popular choice among enthusiasts and those who appreciate its reliability. In this article, we'll explore the recommended oil types for the 22RE, ensuring your engine runs smoothly and efficiently.


Understanding the 22RE Engine


The Toyota 22RE is a 2.4-liter inline-four engine known for its durability and performance, particularly in older Toyota trucks and SUVs. Proper lubrication is crucial for maintaining the engine's health, and choosing the right oil is a key part of that process.


Recommended Oil Types


For the 22RE engine, the following oil types are generally recommended:



  • SAE 10W-30: This is the most commonly recommended oil for the 22RE, providing good protection in a variety of temperatures.

  • SAE 5W-30: This oil can also be used, especially in colder climates, as it offers better flow at lower temperatures.

  • High Mileage Oil: If your 22RE has over 75,000 miles, consider using high mileage oil, which contains additives to help reduce oil consumption and engine wear.


Oil Change Intervals


Regular oil changes are essential for the longevity of your 22RE engine. It is generally recommended to change the oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, depending on your driving habits and the type of oil used. Always refer to your vehicle's owner manual for specific guidelines.


Conclusion


Choosing the right oil for your Toyota 22RE engine is vital for its performance and longevity. By using the recommended oil types and adhering to regular maintenance schedules, you can ensure that your engine remains in excellent condition for years to come.
