The 2023 Tesla Model S does not use engine oil, as it is a fully electric vehicle.
While traditional internal combustion engine vehicles require regular oil changes to lubricate and cool their moving parts, the Tesla Model S operates solely on electric power. This means there's no engine, no combustion, and consequently, no engine oil or oil filter to change.

Common issues / tips
- No Engine Oil: The most important tip for Tesla Model S owners, especially those new to electric vehicles, is to understand that routine engine oil changes are not part of their maintenance schedule.
- Other Fluids Still Exist: While engine oil is absent, other fluids still require attention. These include brake fluid, coolant (for battery and motor thermal management), and windshield washer fluid. Consult your owner's manual for recommended inspection and replacement intervals for these fluids.
- Battery and Drivetrain Maintenance: Focus on battery health, tire rotations, and general inspection of the electric drivetrain components as per Tesla's recommended service schedule. These are the equivalent of "major" maintenance items for an EV.
- Consult Tesla Service: For any maintenance concerns or questions regarding your 2023 Tesla Model S, always refer to your owner's manual or contact a certified Tesla service center.
