Whoever owns a 2uzfe post what oil your running. I run Quaker state 5w30 but might switch to Quaker state 5w40 euro. Let’s see how long we can make this thread, whoever owns this amazing engine make some comments!
Toyota 4.7L 2UZ-FE engine oil thread
- Thread starter LexusToyotanut
- Start date
I have experience with its basis - the 4.0L 1UZ-FE and its sportier sister, the 4.3L 3UZ-FE. They are one of Toyota’s best engines, and they aren’t picky about oil. Any good 5W-30/10W-30 changed regularly is fine for these. I took one to 300K with nothing more than 5W-30, mostly PP/M1 and Chevron Supreme.
My go-to's are QS 5w-30, 5w-40 Euro, and M1 0w-40. So literally whatever jug(s) I have on hand when its due, is what it gets. I dont know which one I used last time, that was more than a year or two ago, probably M1 if I had to guess. It only gets driven about 1,000 miles a year, in snow or if I have to haul a few 2x4's from Home Depot or whatever and other than checking for mice and making sure the battery has water in it and keeping the battery tender plugged in, I dont pay much attention to it. I get in, it starts and runs like the day we got it two decades ago...... 2001 Sequoia, waaaay past due for an oil change.
Is that what you want or are you looking for technical responses for which one is the best oil?
My recollection from UOAs years ago on those engines was they were extremely easy on oil and pretty much agnostic as to weight. Pick the 30weight of your preference, change at reasonable intervals, and don’t worry. If it were mine, I agree with swampdodo, Mobil 1 , Toyota filter, and I would do 7,500 mile intervals or one year.

Just whatever they run and why if they want to.
First one I saw in person was the other day. He was broken down in the McDonald's parking lot. I stopped to ask if he needed a boost. I attempted but it didn't even click. Then I found out it shut off out on the road and someone towed him off to the parking lot.
Some kind of bad ground issue or something I guess. Only thing I knew about it was it was a 2007 Tundra with a 4.7. I really wish I could have helped him. A snowstorm was coming in as I left him there.

After all, the self-proclaimed point of this is “Let’s see how long we can make this thread.”
03 4runner 2UZFE non VVTI. M1 5w30 High Mileage since I purchased it at 140k miles in 2012. M1 209 oil filter. Currently at 271k miles. Oil changes approx every 7500 miles, now just once a year since my commute is much shorter and I now have a weekend toy. The oil did do some cleaning when i first started using it. Been thinking of switching to 10w30 now that I live n the AZ desert and the coldest temps are in the 20's.

Considering that their gas consumption is equally, or more, amazing, I would stick with lighter stuff bcs. it will be fine.

I’m also a big Quaker state fan myself… idk why but I just like it
This isn’t a picky motor. Never had any issues with any oils. I just usually run shell products. I’ve run platinum and now QS 5-30. Good motor.
