Toyota Sequoia Oil Change Interval & Oil Type
Compiled & reviewed by Nikolai Tsyrenov · Updated 2026-06-25
When to change the oil on a 2023-2025 (3rd gen, i-FORCE MAX) Toyota Sequoia, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | 10,000 mi / 12 mo; special operating (severe/towing) 5,000 mi / 6 mo |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 3.5L twin-turbo V6 (V35A-FTS) i-FORCE MAX hybrid; 0W-20 full synthetic; 10-speed auto |
| Oil filter | Replace with every oil change |
Toyota Sequoia note: This generation replaced the old 5.7L V8 with a twin-turbo hybrid that runs hotter — keep 0W-20 on schedule and do earlier trans/diff service if you tow. The hybrid adds a separate inverter-coolant loop and an HV-battery cooling intake to keep clear.
