Toyota Tundra oil type and capacity by engine
Toyota Tundra oil depends on the engine. The 5.7L V8 takes SAE 0W-20 and holds 7.9 quarts with the filter on 2010–2017 trucks and 8.5 quarts on 2018–2021 trucks (7.4 quarts on 2008–2009). The 4.6L V8 takes 0W-20 and holds 7.9 or 8.5 quarts. The 2022–2025 3.4L twin-turbo V6, gas or hybrid, takes 0W-20 and holds 7.7 quarts. Toyota’s 2024 guide calls for an oil change every 10,000 miles or 12 months.

Most Tundra owners know their truck by the engine, so start there. The engine size is on the window sticker, on a badge on many trucks, and on the emissions label under the hood.

Tundra oil type and capacity by year
The amounts are for an oil and filter change, as the manuals print them. On a big V8, fill about a quart short, run the engine, wait, and top up to the full mark on the dipstick.

For the 2010 4.0L V6, Toyota’s two 2010 manuals give different capacities (4.8 and 5.5 quarts), so we don’t list one: fill to the dipstick.
Why the grade changed
When the 2nd-generation Tundra came out, the 4.0L V6 and the 4.7L V8 took SAE 5W-30, and the new 5.7L V8 took 5W-20 or 0W-20, with 0W-20 as Toyota’s first choice. From 2011, every Tundra engine is listed for 0W-20 only. The 2018 V8s hold more oil than the 2017 ones (8.5 quarts instead of 7.9), so use the capacity for your year.
The first number in 0W-20 (with the W, for winter) is the cold rating; the second is the thickness at running temperature. A thinner oil reaches the engine’s parts faster on a cold start.
Synthetic or conventional?
Toyota’s manuals name the grade and the ILSAC spec (GF-5 in the 2014–2021 manuals, GF-6A in the 2022–2025 manuals), not synthetic by name. Many 0W-20 oils are full synthetic or a synthetic blend; the label says which. A truck that tows, idles, or works in heat gets the most from a synthetic, and the twin-turbo V6’s turbochargers are lubricated by the engine oil.
How often to change Tundra oil
For 2022 and later Tundras, Toyota’s 2024 guide says to change the oil and filter every 10,000 miles or 12 months, and every 5,000 miles or 6 months if you drive mostly on dirt or dusty roads or if the last oil was not the recommended grade. Toyota’s guides for 2008–2021 trucks were not available for this page; use the guide for your year. The “MAINT REQD” light or “Oil Maintenance Required” message is reset after each 5,000-mile visit, so it marks visits, not only oil changes.

FAQ
How much oil does a 5.7 Tundra take?
8.5 quarts with the filter on 2018–2021 trucks, 7.9 quarts on 2010–2017 trucks, and 7.4 quarts on 2008–2009 trucks, according to Toyota’s owner’s manuals.
What oil does a Tundra take?
SAE 0W-20 for every engine from 2011 on. The 2008–2009 4.7L V8 and the 2008–2010 4.0L V6 took 5W-30.
How much oil does the 3.4L twin-turbo Tundra take?
7.7 quarts with the filter, for both the gas i-FORCE and the i-FORCE MAX hybrid, in Toyota’s 2022 and 2025 manuals.
Can I use 5W-30 in a 5.7 Tundra?
Toyota lists 0W-20 for the 5.7L from 2011 (and 5W-20 or 0W-20 before that), not 5W-30. Use the grade in your owner’s manual and on the oil filler cap.
