Vehicle identification
Vehicle identification number
The vehicle identification number (VIN) is the legally recognized identification number assigned to the Toyota Tacoma. It serves as the vehicle's primary identifying reference and is used for registration, ownership records, and other official vehicle documentation.
One location for the VIN is the front left section of the frame, where the number is permanently stamped into the vehicle structure.
The vehicle identification number can also be found at the upper left area of the instrument panel, providing another convenient location for verifying the VIN.
The same identification number is also printed on the vehicle Certification Label.
The engine has its own identifying number stamped directly on the engine block in the location illustrated below.

Oil capacity (Drain and refill [Reference*] )
*: The stated engine oil capacity is a reference quantity intended to assist when draining and refilling the engine oil. When adding oil to the Toyota Tacoma, do not rely solely on the reference capacity. Make sure the oil level remains between the low-level mark and the refill upper-limit mark and never exceeds the upper limit. For an accurate level check, warm up the engine, switch it off, wait approximately 8 minutes, and then inspect the oil level using the dipstick.
Engine oil selection
"Toyota Genuine Motor Oil" is used as the original engine lubricant in your Toyota vehicle. For service and replacement, use Toyota-approved "Toyota Genuine Motor Oil" or an equivalent engine oil that satisfies the specified grade and viscosity requirements.
Oil grade:
Use ILSAC GF-6A multigrade engine oil meeting the specified performance requirement.
Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-20
- Outside temperature range used when selecting the appropriate engine oil viscosity
SAE 0W-20 is the preferred viscosity because it provides a favorable combination of fuel economy and reliable engine starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 engine oil is temporarily unavailable, SAE 5W-20 may be used as an alternative.
However, SAE 5W-20 should not remain the long-term substitute. Replace it with SAE 0W-20 at the next scheduled engine oil change.
Oil viscosity can be understood by using 0W-20 as an example:
- The "0W" portion of 0W-20 describes the oil's low-temperature viscosity characteristics and its ability to support engine starting in cold conditions.
An oil with a lower number before the "W" generally flows more readily at low temperatures, which can make cold-weather engine starting easier.
- The "20" in 0W-20 represents the oil's viscosity characteristics after the lubricant reaches a higher operating temperature, indicating how it behaves once the engine and oil have warmed.
How to read the oil container label: Some engine oil containers display the International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee (ILSAC) Certification Mark. This marking helps identify oils that meet the applicable performance standards and can assist when selecting a suitable engine oil for the Toyota Tacoma.
Cooling system
*1: The listed fluid capacity is provided as a reference quantity.
If coolant replacement is required, contact your Toyota dealer for the appropriate service procedure.
*2: Applies to TZNA41L-PRZSTA, TZNA41L-CRZSTA, TZNA46L-PRZSTA and TZNA46L-CRZSTA models*4
*3: Applies to models other than TZNA41L-PRZSTA, TZNA41L-CRZSTA, TZNA46L-PRZSTA and TZNA46L-CRZSTA*4
*4: The applicable model code can be found on the Certification Label.
Ignition system (spark plug)
NOTICE
Iridium-tipped spark plugs
Use only the specified iridium-tipped spark plugs. Do not attempt to adjust the spark plug gap, as these plugs are intended to be installed and used with the specified gap.
Electrical system
Automatic transmission
*: The stated automatic transmission fluid capacity is a reference quantity and should not be treated as the sole guide when servicing the transmission.
If transmission fluid replacement becomes necessary, contact your Toyota dealer for the correct fluid and service procedure.
NOTICE
Automatic transmission fluid type
Use only the automatic transmission fluid type specified above. Filling the transmission with a different fluid may produce abnormal noise or vibration and can adversely affect operation or cause damage to the Toyota Tacoma transmission.
Manual transmission
NOTICE
Manual transmission gear oil
The characteristics of the gear oil used, together with vehicle operating conditions, can influence idle noise, shift feel, and fuel efficiency. For consistent transmission performance, Toyota recommends using "TOYOTA Genuine Manual Transmission Gear Oil" that meets the specified requirements.
Clutch
Transfer (4WD models)
*: Your Toyota vehicle is filled with "Toyota Genuine Transfer Gear Oil LF" at the factory.
For service or replacement, use Toyota-approved "Toyota Genuine Transfer Gear Oil LF" or an equivalent product of matching quality that satisfies the stated specification. Contact your Toyota dealer if additional information about the correct transfer gear oil is required.
Differential
Your Toyota vehicle leaves the factory filled with "Toyota Genuine Differential Gear Oil" selected for the differential system.
When differential oil is replaced, use Toyota-approved "Toyota Genuine Differential Gear Oil" or another oil of equivalent quality that meets the specification shown above.
Contact your Toyota dealer for further information if there is any uncertainty about the correct differential lubricant for your vehicle.
Brakes
*1: Minimum brake pedal clearance when the pedal is depressed with a force of 110 lbf (490 N, 50 kgf) while the engine is running.
*2: Confirm that the brake warning light (yellow) does not illuminate during the applicable check.
If the brake warning light illuminates, the condition should be checked rather than assuming that normal brake-system operation is available.
