Toyota Tundra Maintenance – Change Oil and Oil Filter

**How to Change the Oil in Your Toyota Tundra: A Step-by-Step Guide** If you're looking for a simple and cost-effective way to maintain your Toyota Tundra, changing the oil is one of the most important tasks you can do yourself. It's not only easy but also helps keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently. Here's a complete guide to help you through the process. Before you start, make sure you have everything you need: a clean workspace, a jack and jack stands (if needed), a wrench or socket set, a new oil filter, fresh motor oil, a funnel, and a container to collect the old oil. You’ll also want to check your owner’s manual for the correct oil type and capacity. 1. **Prepare the Vehicle**: Park your Tundra on a flat surface and engage the parking brake. If your truck has a skid plate under the engine, remove it if necessary. Some models don’t have one, so this step may be optional. 2. **Locate Key Components**: Find the oil filter — it usually has a white cap or is covered with a plastic housing. Also locate the oil drain plug underneath the engine. 3. **Drain the Old Oil**: Loosen the drain plug using a wrench, and let the old oil drain completely into your container. Be careful, as the oil might be hot. 4. **Replace the Drain Plug**: Once all the oil has drained, tighten the drain plug back in place securely. 5. **Remove the Old Oil Filter**: Use an oil filter wrench to loosen and remove the old filter. Before installing the new one, apply a small amount of oil to the gasket of the new filter. 6. **Install the New Oil Filter**: Screw the new filter on by hand until it's snug. Avoid over-tightening. 7. **Add New Oil**: Pour in the recommended amount of new oil using a funnel. Check your owner’s manual for the correct volume. 8. **Check for Leaks**: Start the engine and let it run for a minute or two. Then turn it off and check for any leaks around the drain plug and oil filter. 9. **Check Oil Level**: Use the dipstick to ensure the oil level is within the proper range. Add more oil if needed. 10. **Reinstall the Skid Plate**: If you removed it earlier, put the skid plate back in place. 11. **Dispose of Old Oil Properly**: Take the used oil and filter to a local recycling center or auto parts store that accepts them. That’s it! You’ve successfully changed the oil in your Toyota Tundra. This task not only saves you money but also gives you peace of mind knowing your vehicle is well-maintained. **Related Posts** - [Toyota FJ Cruiser Maintenance – Oil Change](http://bsg-i.nbxc.com/blog/a7fa6559f5cf3d86c985ef5e51bd8fff.jpg) - [Engine Oil Discoloration Guide – What Different Oil Colors Represent](http://bsg-i.nbxc.com/blog/910528bbac3640508ce9e34a8c00d87d.jpg) - [Toyota Genuine Oil Filter 90915-YZZD3 – Better Than Cheap Aftermarket](http://bsg-i.nbxc.com/blog/9706a165423d7f1de86ec2226dfa256c.jpg) - [Why Quick Oil Changes Suck](http://bsg-i.nbxc.com/blog/a9ed73eaf1cad83761ce683f69cad6b4.jpg) - [The Top Toyota Tundra Accessories](http://bsg-i.nbxc.com/blog/e9420e9f6c4e2a7c7e9c8d5deac338a1.jpg)
