The 2009 Toyota Tundra'S5.7 V8 engine is equipped with 7.9 US quarts of 5W-30 with a filter. Oil and filter changes should be scheduled every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months if usng fully synthetic lubricants, or every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months, if filling with conventional oil. The advantages of using synthetic vs conventional products include better lubrication among moving parts, a longer interval between service appointments and enhanced effectiveness under adverse weather conditions. A motor oil with a thinner viscosity moves more easily in colder temperatures, coating engine components efficiently and providing better protection against friction and corrosion. Cost for a lube and filter job ranges between $170-$190 in materials and labor.
