The recommended engine oil on the 2012 Toyota Tundra5.7L is SAE 0W-20. If by any chance You can't find any 0W-20 oil around then You can also use SAE 5W-20. Just remember to change Your oil back to SAE 0W-20 when You have Your next oil change. The purpose of engine oil is to not only keep Your motor lubricated but its components as well. It's a very useful fluid since it also cleans, prevents rust and overheating, and reduces friction. If You want to take good care of Your motor, You'll make sure to check the oil level at least once a week. This is to make sure that You never run Your car on low fluid and put Your motor at risk.
