How many liters of engine oil does the Prado 3.5 require?
1 Answers
Generally, add between 5.5 liters to 5.9 liters. Engine oil specification: The Prado uses 0W-20 fully synthetic engine oil, with a replacement interval of 5,000 kilometers. Refilling precautions: When adding engine oil, fill to between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. Do not go below the middle mark, as high-speed driving heats the engine, thinning the oil. Too little oil reduces lubrication. Overfilling saturates the engine block with oil, creating unnecessary resistance for the crankshaft, affecting power output and increasing fuel consumption. Excess oil entering the combustion chamber increases carbon deposits, raising piston movement resistance and reducing engine power. Model introduction: The Toyota Prado is a mid-to-large SUV with a length of 4840mm, width of 1885mm, height of 1890mm, and wheelbase of 2790mm. Power comes from a 3.5L V6 naturally aspirated engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering 280PS maximum horsepower, 206kW maximum power, and 365Nm maximum torque.
