2025 Toyota Tundra Oil Capacity & Filter Specs

The 2025 Toyota Tundra requires 7.7 quarts (7.3 liters) of 0W-20 full synthetic oil when replacing the oil and the oil filter. Whether you are driving the standard i-FORCE or the hybridized i-FORCE MAX, keeping up with clean, high-quality oil is the single most important maintenance item to ensure the longevity of those twin turbochargers and the V35A-FTS engine block.

As an ASE-certified master technician, I always recommend sticking to the manufacturer’s exact specifications to keep your engine running smoothly and to maintain your factory warranty.

Quick Answer: 2025 Toyota Tundra Oil Specs

• Oil Capacity (with filter): 7.7 quarts (7.3 Liters)
• Recommended Oil Weight: 0W-20 Full Synthetic
• Oil Specification: ILSAC GF-6A / API SP
• OEM Oil Filter: Toyota 90915-10009 (or equivalent YZZ-series replacement)
• Aftermarket Filters: Fram XG10358, Mobil 1 M1-103A, WIX 51040 (Always verify exact fitment at the parts counter, as newer models can occasionally shift sub-part numbers).

Capacity by Engine Option

For the 2025 model year, Toyota utilizes the 3.4L Twin-Turbo V6 (internally known as the V35A-FTS) across the entire Tundra lineup. The hybrid system does not alter the internal combustion engine's fluid capacity.

Oil Change Interval

Toyota’s recommended intervals depend heavily on how you use your truck:

• Normal Duty: Every 10,000 miles or 12 months. This applies if you do mostly highway driving with light loads in moderate climates.
• Severe Duty: Every 5,000 miles or 6 months. You fall into this category if you frequently tow, haul heavy loads, idle extensively, take short trips under 5 miles in freezing temperatures, or drive on dusty, muddy, or salted roads. Given the twin-turbo setup on the 2025 Tundra, I strongly suggest the 5,000-mile interval to protect the turbo bearings from oil degradation.

Drain Plug Torque

• Torque Spec: 30 ft-lbs (40 Nm)
• Crush Washer: Do not reuse the old drain plug gasket. Always install a new OEM aluminum crush washer (Toyota Part # 90430-12031) to prevent slow leaks. Note: the flat side of the washer should face the oil pan.

How to Change the Oil

1. Warm up the engine: Run the truck for a few minutes so the oil is warm (but not scalding). This helps suspend contaminants and allows the oil to drain faster.
2. Access the underside: Securely lift and support the truck if needed, though stock Tundras usually have enough clearance. Remove the skid plate or access panel to reach the oil pan and filter.
3. Drain the oil: Using a 14mm socket, remove the drain plug. Have a drain pan ready that can hold at least 9 quarts. Let it drain completely.
4. Replace the filter: While the oil is draining, remove the old spin-on oil filter. Lubricate the rubber gasket of the new filter with a dab of fresh oil. Spin it on until the gasket makes contact, then hand-tighten another 3/4 of a turn.
5. Reinstall drain plug: Fit a new crush washer and torque the drain plug to 30 ft-lbs.
6. Refill and check: Pour exactly 7.7 quarts of 0W-20 into the engine. Replace the filler cap, start the engine, and let it idle for 30 seconds to fill the filter. Shut it off, wait a few minutes, and check the dipstick to ensure the level is at the top mark. Check underneath for leaks.
7. Reset the maintenance light: Use the steering wheel controls and gauge cluster menu to reset your oil life monitor.

Common Issues / Tips

• Turbo Protection: The V35A-FTS relies heavily on clean oil to cool and lubricate the twin turbochargers. Dirty or low oil can lead to premature turbo failure, which is a highly labor-intensive and expensive repair. Don't push your intervals too far.
• Skid Plate Bolts: If your Tundra is equipped with heavy-duty off-road skid plates (like on the TRD Pro), the bolts can easily cross-thread or seize. Apply a tiny amount of anti-seize to the skid plate bolts when reinstalling them.
• Dipstick Reading: The Tundra dipstick can sometimes smear oil on the tube when pulling it out. Wipe it clean, re-insert it fully, and pull it out swiftly for the most accurate reading.
