Capacity by engine option
As an all-electric vehicle, the 2023 Tesla Model Y does not have an internal combustion engine and therefore does not use oil. This applies to all trim levels including the Rear-Wheel Drive, Long Range, and Performance models.
Oil change interval
Since the 2023 Tesla Model Y is an electric vehicle, there is no engine oil to change. Owners should consult their owner's manual for recommended service intervals for other components such as brake fluid, cabin air filters, and tire rotations.
Drain plug torque
There is no engine oil drain plug on the 2023 Tesla Model Y as it is an electric vehicle.
How to change the oil
Due to the absence of an internal combustion engine, an oil change procedure is not applicable for the 2023 Tesla Model Y.
Common issues / tips
As a fully electric vehicle, the Tesla Model Y presents a different maintenance profile compared to gasoline-powered cars. Owners should focus on maintaining other critical systems:
- Tire Rotation and Alignment: Essential for maximizing tire life and maintaining efficiency. Check your owner's manual for recommended intervals.
- Brake System Maintenance: While regenerative braking reduces wear on friction brakes, it's still important to regularly inspect brake fluid levels and pad wear. Tesla recommends checking brake fluid every 2 years and replacing it as needed.
- Cabin Air Filter Replacement: Crucial for maintaining air quality inside the vehicle. Tesla recommends replacing the cabin air filter every 2 years or 20,000 miles (whichever comes first).
- Coolant System: The Model Y utilizes a thermal management system for its battery and powertrain. While typically a sealed system, it's important to follow Tesla's recommendations for inspection and service of the coolant.
- Software Updates: Regularly installing over-the-air software updates ensures your Model Y has the latest features, performance enhancements, and bug fixes.
