2010 Toyota Land Cruiser

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2010 Land Cruiser.

Body SUVTransmission Automatic (S6)

The 2010 Toyota Land Cruiser is an SUV that calls for 7.4 quarts of 0W-20 or 5W-20 API oil, uses a six-speed automatic transmission, and carries EPA ratings of 13/18/15 mpg. Measured against the model’s 1990–2025 complaint history—a span that runs from a low of one owner report to a high of 29—the 2010 model generated just three total complaints, with top concerns concentrated in the Electrical System, Service Brakes, and Engine, alongside six recalls. That low complaint volume places it near the bottom of that historical range, making it one of the lower-complaint model years in the Land Cruiser’s long-term record.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 5,000 mi; spark plugs at 120,000 mi; coolant every 50,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 50,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2010 model year is notably absent as a discrete entry in the provided year-by-year federal record, which jumps from 2001 directly to 2015; however, the 2010-specific data supplied shows an exceptionally clean profile with just three complaint filings distributed across electrical, service brakes, engine, and structure concerns, a single crash-related complaint, and zero fire complaints. This positioning places the 2010 model at the leading edge of a low-complaint era for the generation, as every subsequent year shown in the record (2015–2021) registers between zero and four complaints annually—a marked decline from the 1990s and early 2000s, which routinely produced 8 to 24 complaints per year. Recall activity, however, intensifies later in the generation, peaking at four campaigns in 2015 and remaining at 1–3 per year through 2019, which suggests the 2010 model itself sits before this recall wave but may still be subject to some of those campaigns that span model years. TSB volume follows a similar upward arc, climbing from 26 in 1990 to a high of 246 in 2015, but the 2010 model's position at the cusp of that escalation—combined with its minimal complaint footprint—implies it likely avoided the bulk of the more involved service actions. Concrete takeaway: the 2010 Land Cruiser is one of the more favorable used candidates in its generation according to this federal record, though a buyer should still verify open recall status against the 2015–2019 campaigns and confirm any 2010-specific service history, since the underlying root causes of the few reported complaints are not specified in the data.
