Capacity by Engine Option
| Engine | Oil Capacity (with filter) | Recommended Oil Viscosity |
|---|---|---|
| 4.6L V8 (1UR-FE) | 7.9 qts / 7.5 L | 0W-20 |
| 5.7L V8 (3UR-FE) | 8.5 qts / 8.0 L | 0W-20 |
Oil Change Interval
Toyota recommends using 0W-20 synthetic oil for the 2015 Tundra, which allows for extended oil change intervals.
- Normal Service: 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.
- Severe Duty: 5,000 miles or 6 months. Severe duty conditions include frequent towing, heavy loads, driving on dirt/dusty roads, or extensive idling and low-speed driving.
Drain Plug Torque
- Drain Plug Torque: 30 ft-lbs (foot-pounds)
- Crush Washer: Always use a new drain plug gasket (Toyota Part No. 90430-12031) to prevent leaks.
How to Change the Oil
Changing the oil in a 2015 Tundra requires a few specific steps due to the cartridge-style filter.
- Warm up the engine to operating temperature.
- Remove the access panel or skid plate to reach the oil filter housing and drain plug.
- Position a drain pan and remove the 14mm drain plug to drain the engine oil.
- While the oil drains, use a special oil filter wrench (64mm with notches) to loosen the plastic filter housing. A small drain valve on the housing allows you to drain the filter before removal, minimizing mess.
- Remove the old filter cartridge and the two O-rings (one large, one small) from the housing.
- Lubricate the new O-rings with fresh oil and install them on the housing in their correct grooves.
- Install the new filter cartridge into the housing and screw the assembly back onto the engine. Torque the filter housing to 18 ft-lbs.
- Reinstall the oil drain plug with a new crush washer and torque to 30 ft-lbs.
- Refill the engine with the correct amount of fresh 0W-20 synthetic oil.
- Start the engine, let it run for a minute to circulate the oil, then turn it off. Wait a few minutes and re-check the oil level on the dipstick, adding more if necessary to reach the full mark.
- Reset the maintenance light.
Common Issues / Tips
- Cracked Filter Housing: The plastic oil filter housing can become brittle over time and may crack if over-tightened. Always use a torque wrench and consider having a spare housing on hand. An aluminum housing upgrade is a popular aftermarket solution (e.g., from Motivx Tools or similar brands) that is more durable.
- Leaking O-Rings: Ensure the O-rings are seated correctly in their grooves on the filter housing. Forgetting the small O-ring at the tip or pinching the large one during installation is a common cause of leaks.
- Stuck Filter Housing Wrench: Some universal oil filter wrenches may not fit the Tundra's housing correctly. It is highly recommended to use the specific 64mm notched wrench designed for Toyota/Lexus cartridge filters to avoid damaging the housing.
