2016 Toyota Sequoia oil — questions before buying
- Can I use 5W-20 or 5W-30 instead of 0W-20 in my 2016 Toyota Sequoia?

- Did the Toyota Sequoia change its recommended oil viscosity across model years?
- Yes. Checked records show the Toyota Sequoia has specified more than one viscosity grade across model years. 2005–2009: 5W-30; 2010–2014, 2016–2025: 0W-20. Confirm the viscosity shown on this page matches your exact year before buying oil.
