Toyota Tundra Transmission Fluid: Change Interval
Compiled & reviewed by Nikolai Tsyrenov · Updated 2026-07-02
When to change the transmission fluid on a 2022-2024 (3.5L twin-turbo i-FORCE / hybrid) Toyota Tundra.
In short: Toyota Tundra transmission fluid: 10-speed auto long-life; drain-and-fill ~60,000 mi if towing.
| Transmission Fluid interval | 10-speed auto long-life; drain-and-fill ~60,000 mi if towing |
|---|---|
| Engine / drivetrain | 3.5L twin-turbo V6 (V35A) or i-FORCE MAX hybrid; 0W-20 synthetic; 10-speed auto |
| Model years | 2022-2024 (3.5L twin-turbo i-FORCE / hybrid) |
Why it matters: Transmission fluid lubricates and cools the gearbox. "Lifetime fill" really means "lifetime of the warranty" — heat from towing, hills and stop-and-go traffic ages it much faster.
A drain-and-fill (not a flush) is the safe approach, especially on higher-mileage cars. Use ONLY the exact fluid spec for your transmission — the wrong fluid can ruin a CVT or automatic.
Toyota Tundra note: The 2022+ Tundra dropped the old 5.7 V8 for a twin-turbo V6 — turbos run hot, so a 5,000-mi oil discipline and earlier trans/diff service pay off if you tow heavy.
FAQ
How often should you change the transmission fluid in a Toyota Tundra?
10-speed auto long-life; drain-and-fill ~60,000 mi if towing.
Should I flush or drain-and-fill the transmission on a Toyota Tundra?
Prefer a drain-and-fill. A pressure flush on an old, never-serviced transmission can dislodge debris; a simple drain-and-fill (repeated if needed) is the gentler, widely recommended option.
