Preserving Toyota Venza Hybrids for the Long Term
Is the Toyota Venza hybrid more challenging to maintain? Not at all. Hybrids follow the same maintenance schedule as non-hybrids and, under certain circumstances. Their design can help them deliver less wear and tear than non-hybrids and fewer replacement parts. This is because of unique hybrid components like the electric motor, which works alongside the gasoline engine to produce a shared pool of power, and the electronic braking systems, which can decelerate the vehicle without using the brakes, helping to extend the life of the brake pads and rotors.
Plus, the hybrid battery is designed to last the vehicle’s life. So even though it’s a pretty major component, it’s no more prone to replacement than any other major component designed to last the life of the vehicle, like an engine or transmission.
The Toyota Venza also comes with more extended, hybrid-specific warranties, Toyota’s reputation for quality, durability, and reliability, and its unrivaled experience designing world-class hybrids. Simply put, these vehicles help deliver peace of mind year after year.
FAQ – Toyota Venza Oil Maintenance
There are various engine oil available now, and you need to choose one that works with your 2014 Toyota Venza. The good news is that your owner’s handbook has you covered, suggesting an SAE 0W-20 full synthetic engine oil though you may also use 5W-20 in a pinch.
The 2013 Toyota Venza is offered in five distinct trim levels: LE, LE V6, XLE, XLE V6, and Limited V6. The smaller 2.7L 1AR-FE engine used in the base trim levels requires 4.6 quarts of oil, while the larger 3.5L 2GR-FE engine calls for 6.4 quarts.
The price per bottle will likely be between $4.16 and $17.50. A professional automotive service technician or mechanic will add $40 to $90 to the total cost if you have them do the change for you.

What about the 2012 version?
Thanks Nick!, maintenance light is reset, spent 5 minutes looking in owners manual before giving up. Wrote it down in maintenence log this time. And 2015 Venza with 2.7 L 4-cylinder engine takes 4.6 quarts plus 0.4 quarts for oil filter, so I just add 5 quarts when changing the oil and filter and that puts oil level at the top mark on the dipstick. Can get a 5 quart jug of synthetic oil at Walmart for $26-28.
