Maintenance Every 5,000 Miles

Each time you drive 5,000 miles or six months, whichever comes first, there are a handful of maintenance items you’ll want to perform:

• Inspect all fluid levels, adjust if needed
• Inspect wiper blades
• Rotate tires
• Inspect brake system

Toyota Tundra Maintenance Schedule: 10,000-Mile Maintenance

In addition to the above maintenance, when you reach the 10,000-mile or 12-month marker, you’ll also need to replace your engine oil and oil filter.

Your engine oil is responsible for lubricating the moving parts under the hood, reducing friction, and preventing overheating. It’s also responsible for filtering out dirt, dust, and other debris that could otherwise cause corrosion and other damage to the engine of your Tundra.

30,000-Mile Maintenance

Each time you travel 30,000 miles, there’s additional maintenance needed on your Tundra. The extra maintenance at this milestone includes needing to re-torque the propeller shaft bolt.

You also need to inspect several components of your truck. Some parts that need inspection include:

• Engine coolant
• Brake lines and hoses
• Fuel lines
• Ball joints and dust covers

Continue with this maintenance plan throughout the lifespan of your Tundra.

Additional Maintenance Considerations

In addition to the above maintenance, you may need to perform additional upkeep depending on how and where you drive, also known as special driving conditions. You must perform this upkeep every 5,000 miles.

Off Roading on Dirt Roads

If you spend a lot of time off roading on dirt paths, additional maintenance may include:

• Inspecting engine air filter
• Replacing engine oil and oil filter
• Tightening nuts and bolts

Towing with Your Toyota Tundra

From camping and fishing to other outdoor activities that require towing, you’ll need to perform these additional maintenance steps:

• Re-torque propeller shaft bolt
• Replace engine oil and oil filter
• Tighten nuts and bolts

Short Commutes in Cold Weather

Do you find yourself taking short trips of less than five miles in frigid temperatures—below 32 degrees Fahrenheit? If so, every 5,000 miles you’ll need to replace your engine oil and oil filter.

Deliveries and Idling

Your Toyota Tundra is a versatile truck. Not only is it great for casual commutes and weekend trips, but it’s also great for getting work done. If you use your Tundra for long-distance trips, rideshares, extensive idling, door-to-door deliveries, and more, you’ll need to change your engine oil and oil filter every 5,000 miles.
