How much oil does the 5.7 Tundra take?

8.5 quarts (8.0 L) of 0W-20 with a filter change, 7.9 quarts without, per Toyota's owner's manual. The 4.6L V8 takes 7.9 quarts with filter. Both use a cartridge filter element, not a spin-on.

How much oil does the 2022+ i-FORCE twin-turbo take?

7.7 quarts (7.3 L) of 0W-20 with a filter change per the 2023 manual. The i-FORCE MAX hybrid uses the same V35A engine and Toyota publishes the same 7.7-quart fill — confirm against your hybrid manual, which is a separate book.

What changed in 2022?

Everything that touches a wrench: the V8s and 6-speed died, replaced by a 3.4L twin-turbo V6 (i-FORCE, or i-FORCE MAX hybrid) with a 10-speed; the intercooler got its own coolant circuit and reservoir; the transfer case switched from 75W gear oil to ATF WS; rear leaf springs became coils; the fuel tank shrank (22.5/32.2 gal vs 26.4/38.0); and tire pressure rose to 35 psi. Specs from the old truck do not carry over.

Was the 2022–2023 Tundra recalled for engine failure?

Yes — NHTSA recall 24V-381 (May 2024) covers about 102,000 2022–2023 Tundras and Lexus LX600s for machining debris that can destroy the main bearings. The remedy is a free replacement engine. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls; on a used truck, ask for proof the work was done.

What's the Tundra lug nut torque?

97 lb-ft (131 N·m) for aluminum wheels and 154 lb-ft (209 N·m) for steel wheels — both generations, straight from Toyota's manuals. Note that's a bigger split than most trucks, and the steel spare takes the higher number. Toyota says recheck within 100 miles.

What transmission fluid does the Tundra use?

Toyota Genuine ATF WS in every year and both generations — about 11.7 quarts total in the 5.7's 6-speed (12.3 with tow package) and 11.7 quarts in the 2022+ 10-speed. Toyota warns that any other fluid can damage the transmission. There's no normal-schedule change interval, but towing falls under the severe schedule.

2016–2024 Toyota Tundra Oil Capacity & Fluid Specs

Quick answer

Tundra oil capacity depends on the generation and engine: the 2016–2021 5.7L V8 takes 8.5 quarts of 0W-20 with a new filter (the 4.6L V8 takes 7.9); the 2022–2024 3.4L twin-turbo V6 — i-FORCE and i-FORCE MAX hybrid — takes 7.7 quarts of 0W-20. All use a cartridge-style filter.

This page covers two completely different trucks that share a name. Through 2021 the Tundra (XK50) ran Toyota's 4.6L and 5.7L V8s with a 6-speed automatic, hydraulic power steering, and a single radiator circuit. From 2022 (XK70) it's a 3.4L twin-turbo V6 — badged i-FORCE, or i-FORCE MAX with the hybrid motor — with a 10-speed, electric steering, and a separate intercooler coolant circuit with its own reservoir. Specs below are verified against Toyota's own owner's manuals (2016, 2020 and 2023 editions). Two traps worth flagging up front: the lug torque is 97 lb-ft on aluminum wheels but 154 lb-ft on steel (including the steel spare), and the 2022+ truck has TWO coolant reservoirs — topping the wrong one helps nothing. The i-FORCE MAX hybrid has its own manual; where we couldn't verify a hybrid-specific figure we say so instead of guessing.

DIY oil change — quick steps

1 Set up

Park level and get the engine warm, not hot. 2022+ trucks have a resin under-cover with service access; the V8s are open underneath. Crack the filler cap up top so the crankcase vents while draining.
2 Drain

Pull the drain plug (14mm on the V8s) and let it run 5+ minutes — the 5.7 dumps 8.5 quarts, so use a big pan. Fit a fresh gasket on the plug and snug it to about 30 lb-ft.
3 Cartridge filter

All these engines use a cartridge filter in a threaded housing, not a spin-on. Use the 64.5mm 14-flute cap wrench, swap the element AND both O-rings (the kit includes them), lube the new O-rings with fresh oil, and torque the cap to about 18 lb-ft. Cranking it tight cracks housings.
4 Refill, verify, reset

Refill to your engine's capacity from the table, start it for a minute, check for drips at the plug and housing, then recheck the dipstick after it settles. Reset the maintenance reminder: on 2016–2021, hold the ODO/TRIP button with Trip A showing while switching the ignition on until the display zeroes; on 2022+, it's in the gauge-cluster menu under Settings → Vehicle/Maintenance.

Common problems on this vehicle

Engine-replacement recall, 2022–2023 (NHTSA 24V-381)

Toyota recalled about 102,000 2022–2023 Tundras (plus Lexus LX600s) built roughly November 2021–February 2023 because machining debris left inside some V35A engines during production can take out the main bearings — symptoms run from knocking and rough running to a stall or no-start. The remedy is a free engine replacement, not a patch. If you're shopping or own one, run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls and ask for the recall work order history.

Turbo wastegate noise and early driveability updates (2022–2023)

Plenty of 2022–2023 owners reported a flutter or rattle from the turbos — much of it is normal wastegate actuation noise, but real complaints got real fixes: TSB 0110-22 reprograms the transmission module for a pop/clunk on startup, and TSB 0111-22 addresses hesitation from a stop and surging in high gears. A smaller number of early trucks had turbo or wastegate actuator hardware replaced under warranty. If yours hesitates or clunks, ask the dealer to check for open software updates before chasing parts.

Rear axle nut recall, 2022 (NHTSA 22V-445)

About 46,000 2022 Tundras (including some hybrids) built November 2021–June 2022 were recalled because rear axle flange nuts were torqued too low at the factory and can loosen — worst case, the axle shaft separates. The fix is a free inspection, retorque, and replacement of any damaged parts. Another one to check by VIN on a used 2022.

Cam tower oil seep (5.7L V8)

The 3UR-FE seals its cam towers with RTV instead of a gasket, and the joint can weep oil at the back of the heads — it shows up as a smell or a film above the exhaust manifolds, rarely a puddle. It's best documented on 2007–2013 trucks but keeps appearing on 2014–2017 and later 5.7s. The repair is labor-heavy (commonly $2,500–4,000) because the front of the engine comes apart, so have a shop confirm it's the cam towers and an actual drip — a slow weep on a high-mile truck is often a watch item, not an emergency.

Secondary air injection — mostly the PREVIOUS generation's problem

The Tundra's famous secondary-air-injection pump and valve failures belong overwhelmingly to 2007–2013 trucks; Toyota redesigned the system for 2014 to purge moisture at shutdown, and 2016–2021 trucks fail far less often. If a high-mileage XK50 throws air-injection codes (P0418 or the P2440 family), it's the same diagnosis — stuck valves or a dead pump — just much rarer. Don't let an earlier generation's reputation scare you off; do budget for it if the codes are actually present.
