    Car dashboard

    The Toyota Hilux is a heavy-duty vehicle that’s made for work and play. It’s always been a fan favourite due to its rugged good looks, strength and versatility.

    This large pickup ute comes in a range of cab types. It’s part of Toyota’s current lineup, alongside hatchbacks, sedans and SUVs.

    The Hilux has been in production for more than 50 years. One popular variant is the D4D, which means Direct Injection 4 Cylinder Common Rail Diesel Engine. It’s more efficient than its petrol sibling but still packs the same power punch.

    You rely on your car to get you from A to B and beyond, so keeping up with regular Hilux services will be a priority. Regular oil changes are just the first step to maintaining this rugged 4WD.

    The benefits of an oil change — Toyota Hilux D4D

    Like all cars, the Hilux D4D needs engine oil to function properly. If the oil is dirty or running low, it can put pressure on vital components—including the engine.

    When you book your Hilux in for a service with mycar, it’ll come with an oil and filter change. We only use premium engine oil that’s compatible with your D4D, and high-quality filters to protect your engine. Depending on the service type, we can check your vehicle for mechanical issues and more.

    If your Hilux is between services but isn’t performing at its best, you can book a standalone oil change.

    How much is an oil change for a Toyota Hilux D4D?

    At mycar, an Essential Service costs $229, while an Essential Plus Service costs $289. Both come with up to 8 litres of premium oil, a high-quality replacement filter, and a detailed inspection of your Hilux. The Essential Plus Service includes 12 months free roadside assistance, and an engine management diagnosis scan.

    Alternatively, you can book a logbook service. The price will vary depending on the year of your vehicle and how many kilometres are on the clock.

    Chat with us before the day to get an upfront quote. We’ll always get the green light from you before going ahead with any work, and with flexible payment options like Afterpay and Zip Pay, you’ll never have to put off an oil change.

    What’s the Hilux D4D oil capacity?

    How much oil does a D4D Hilux take? The answer depends on the year of the vehicle. However, the average Hilux D4D engine oil capacity is around 6.9 litres. Remember, it isn’t as simple as topping up the existing oil. When the oil gets dirty you’ll need to drain it completely before replacing it.

    What’s the recommended Toyota Hilux oil change interval?

    With regular driving habits, you should aim for an engine oil change every 5,000km or 6-12 months. This can tie in with your logbook service schedule.

    For those who push their vehicle harder, more frequent oil changes may be recommended.

    There are other types of oil to consider too, but you won’t need to schedule these as often. For example, the Toyota Hilux gearbox oil change interval is every 40,000km. And, the Toyota Hilux D4D automatic transmission oil change interval is around 50,000km.

    Always check the user manual for the most accurate advice for the vehicle you drive, or ask our friendly team at mycar who are always happy to help.

    What kind of oil does a Toyota D4D Diesel take?

    If you’re wondering what oil to use in Hilux D4D, the most common recommendation is a premium, synthetic engine oil.

    Because it runs on diesel, the Hilux D4D oil type is different to petrol variants. It needs additional additives to stop blockages from occurring.

    Your user manual will give you the exact specifications, and your mycar technicians will always choose the best option for your 4WD.
