The capacity is a reference. Warm the engine, shut it off, wait more than 5 minutes, and read the dipstick.

The lubrication table splits the 2TR-FE from the 2GR-FKS, and the V6 with-filter row splits again on the towing package.
Both engines use Toyota Genuine Motor Oil or an equivalent ILSAC GF-5 oil. Recommended viscosity is SAE 0W-20.
With a filter, the 2TR-FE is 6.2 qt. The 2GR-FKS is 6.1 qt without the towing package and 6.2 qt with it. Without a filter, the 2TR-FE is 5.8 qt and the 2GR-FKS is 5.9 qt.
Publication OM04013U lists the quarts as a reference. Warm the engine, shut it off, wait more than 5 minutes, and check the dipstick. No drain-plug torque is in the lubrication table.
Outbound links only. BaySheet does not sell parts. Confirm fitment on the retailer page. Amazon links are searches for a real part name plus this vehicle. Tool rows do not get a product search. The search is not a part number.

Same repair, different model year. Use the page that matches the truck or car in the driveway. A figure on one year is not a figure for the next.
