Why is an oil change important for a 2017 Toyota Tundra?

• Keeps the 5.7L V8 lubricated to reduce friction and wear on pistons, bearings and valve trains, extending engine life.
• Removes contaminants and sludge that build up over time, protecting internal components and preserving horsepower and torque.
• Helps maintain fuel efficiency and performance — especially important for a truck used for towing or heavy loads.
• Supports cooling and prevents overheating of critical parts under heavy-duty conditions, like towing up to the truck's rated capacity.

How often should you get an oil change?

• Intervals depend on oil type and driving conditions: conventional oil typically calls for more frequent changes, while synthetic allows longer intervals.
