The Toyota Tundra maintenance schedule for 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 covers one of the most significant redesigns in pickup truck history — and one of the most debated. When Toyota replaced the beloved naturally aspirated 5.7L V8 with a twin-turbocharged 3.5L V6 for the 3rd generation Tundra, owners who’d trusted the old engine for 200,000+ miles were understandably skeptical. Years later, the V35A-FTS has built its own reputation — but it’s a more complex engine that rewards careful, consistent maintenance more than the old V8 ever did. Get it right and the reliability data from owners now approaching 100,000+ miles is genuinely encouraging. Get it wrong — wrong oil interval, wrong viscosity, skipped spark plugs — and you’ll find out why turbocharged engines are less forgiving than the truck they replaced.

The Toyota Tundra maintenance schedule for the 3rd generation covers one of the most significant redesigns in pickup truck history — and one of the most debated. When Toyota replaced the beloved naturally aspirated 5.7L V8 with a twin-turbocharged 3.5L V6 for 2022, owners who'd trusted the old engine for 200,000+ miles were understandably skeptical. Years later, the V35A-FTS has built its own reputation — but it's a more complex engine that rewards careful, consistent maintenance more than the old V8 ever did.

This guide covers every interval, every OEM part number, and the i-Force Max hybrid's unique service items — so you can maintain your 3rd gen Tundra with the same confidence that made the previous generation legendary.

One Engine Code, Two Powertrains

Both the standard i-Force and the i-Force Max hybrid share the same V35A-FTS 3.5L twin-turbo V6 block. The i-Force Max adds a 48V integrated starter-generator (eAxle motor) and a larger battery pack for hybrid assist. Core maintenance items — oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, spark plugs — use the same OEM part numbers for both powertrains. The hybrid adds additional service items on top of the standard schedule.

Tundra 3rd Gen Oil Change Guide by Powertrain

One of the simplest things about maintaining the 3rd gen Tundra: both powertrains use identical oil specs, identical oil filters, and identical oil capacity. The standard i-Force and the i-Force Max hybrid share the V35A-FTS engine block — the Max just adds the electric motor system. There's no filter mix-up to worry about between powertrain variants, unlike some other trucks in this segment.

10,000 Miles — But Consider Your Driving

Toyota's 10,000-mile interval applies to normal driving conditions with full synthetic 0W-20. However, the V35A-FTS is a twin-turbocharged engine — turbos run hot and add combustion blowby that degrades oil faster than a naturally aspirated engine at the same mileage. If you tow regularly, make frequent short trips, live in extreme heat, or spend time on dusty roads, follow the 5,000-mile severe interval. Many experienced Tundra owners split the difference at 7,500 miles regardless of conditions. It's cheap insurance on an expensive truck.

Toyota Tundra Maintenance Schedule
Every 15,000–30,000 Miles

Engine Air Filter & Cabin Air Filter

Engine Air Filter — 17801-F4010

Replace every 30,000 miles under normal conditions. For TRD Pro and Capstone owners who take the Tundra off-road, or anyone driving in dusty, unpaved, or smoky environments, inspect at 15,000 miles and replace as needed. A clogged air filter on the twin-turbo V35A-FTS is particularly impactful — restricted airflow forces the turbos to work harder to hit boost targets, which accelerates wear.

OEM part 17801-F4010 fits all 2022–2025 Tundra models — both i-Force and i-Force Max. You may encounter 17801-YZZ17 in some parts lookups; this is an alternate part number for the same filter.

Cabin Air Filter — 87139-0C010

Replace every 15,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first. Located behind the glove box and installs without tools in about 5 minutes on the 3rd gen. Signs it's overdue: reduced HVAC airflow, musty smell with the AC running, or visible discoloration when removed.

OEM part 87139-0C010 fits all 2022–2025 Tundra models and also crosses to the same generation Sequoia. If you regularly drive in areas with heavy wildfire smoke, construction dust, or high pollen, consider replacing annually regardless of mileage.

40,000 Miles — And You Need 6

Spark Plugs: The Number That Surprises Everyone

Here's the detail that trips up nearly every 3rd gen Tundra owner ordering parts for the first time: your truck needs 6 spark plugs. Not 4 (that's a 4-cylinder assumption) and not 8 (that's a V8 assumption). The V35A-FTS is a V6 — six cylinders, one plug per cylinder, six total. Parts stores' online fitment guides sometimes pull up V8 results for Tundra searches because the previous generation used a V8 for so long. Always verify you're ordering 6.

Toyota recommends replacing the iridium spark plugs every 40,000 miles on the 3rd gen Tundra. This is a shorter interval than what you'd see on a naturally aspirated engine because the twin-turbo V35A-FTS runs at higher cylinder pressures and temperatures that are harder on plugs. Don't attempt to re-gap iridium plugs — they are factory pre-gapped.

Toyota has used multiple OEM spark plug part numbers across 3rd gen Tundra production runs. Rather than risk an incorrect part, confirm your specific plug via Toyota's parts lookup at toyota.com using your VIN, or ask your dealer's parts counter. The plug spec is the same for both i-Force and i-Force Max. Always order 6.

i-Force Max — Available on Limited, Platinum, 1794, TRD Pro, Capstone

i-Force Max Hybrid Maintenance

The i-Force Max pairs the 3.5L twin-turbo V6 with a 48V electric motor integrated into the transmission (eAxle system) and a nickel-metal hydride battery pack. The combination adds 130+ lb-ft of torque and 56 extra horsepower over the standard i-Force, making it the most capable Tundra ever built for towing. But it also adds hybrid-specific service items that don't exist on the standard powertrain.

i-Force Max — Additional Service Items

Beyond the Standard Tundra Schedule

These items apply to the i-Force Max only, in addition to all standard oil, filter, spark plug, and tire service.

HV Battery Inspection
At each major service — check state of health and cooling function
Inverter Coolant Inspect
Every 60,000 miles
Inverter Coolant Replace
Every 100,000 miles
12V Aux Battery
Inspect annually; replace every 3–5 years
Brake Fluid
Every 2 years — regen braking accelerates moisture absorption
eAxle System Check
Inspect at each major service for fluid leaks or error codes

i-Force Max brake pads typically last significantly longer than those on the standard i-Force because regenerative braking handles most light deceleration. However, because friction brakes engage less frequently, rotor rust can develop faster. Inspect rotors for deep pitting or scoring at each service even if pads are still within spec.

i-Force Max and Oil Changes — Don't Skip Based on Low Mileage

The i-Force Max uses its electric motor heavily at low speeds, which means the combustion engine runs less in city driving. Some owners are tempted to skip oil changes when mileage accumulates slowly. Don't. Engine oil degrades on a calendar basis even when the engine runs infrequently — moisture absorption and oxidation occur regardless of how often you've pushed the throttle. Follow the 12-month calendar interval as a minimum, and track actual engine-on hours rather than just odometer miles if you want to be precise about it.

Tundra Severe Condition Maintenance Schedule

Toyota defines severe driving conditions as: frequent towing or payload near max capacity, frequent trips under 5 miles, dusty or off-road environments, extreme cold below 0°F or hot climates above 110°F, and prolonged idling. Most Tundra owners — especially those using the truck as a truck — fall into at least one of these categories. The standard 10,000-mile schedule was designed for typical passenger-car-style commuting, not real truck use.

Transfer Case Fluid (4WD)30,000 mi15,000–20,000 mi for off-road use
Tire Rotation5,000 mi5,000 mi — maintain this regardless
TRD Pro & Off-Road Owners

If you run the Tundra on unpaved roads, trails, or through water crossings regularly, treat every service interval as severe. Differential and transfer case fluid contamination from water intrusion is the biggest maintenance risk for off-road Tundras — inspect both for milky discoloration at every oil change and replace immediately if you see it, regardless of mileage.

The Question Every 3rd Gen Owner Asks

Twin-Turbo V6 vs the Old 5.7L V8: Maintenance Reality Check

The 5.7L 3UR-FE V8 that powered Tundras from 2007 through 2021 earned a near-mythical reputation for longevity — 300,000-mile engines weren't unusual, and it was widely considered one of the most reliable truck engines ever made. When Toyota replaced it with the twin-turbo 3.5L V6, the forums lit up with concern. Here's what the maintenance data actually shows:

Where the V6 Demands More

The V35A-FTS is fundamentally more complex than the old V8. Two turbochargers mean two sets of turbo bearings that rely entirely on clean, properly viscous oil for lubrication. High cylinder pressures from turbo boost mean accelerated spark plug wear — hence the 40,000-mile plug interval versus the 120,000-mile interval the old V8 iridium plugs managed. Variable valve timing solenoids in the V6 are also sensitive to oil contamination in ways the simpler V8 VVT-i system never was.

Where the V6 Makes Maintenance Simpler

Eight cylinders versus six means the old V8 needed 8 spark plugs and had a larger oil capacity. The new V35A-FTS holds 7.7 quarts — less than the 5.7L's 8.0 quarts — and the single oil filter location is more accessible on the 3rd gen than it was on the 2nd gen Tundra. The 10,000-mile oil change interval (versus 5,000 miles commonly recommended for the old V8 under most conditions) also means less frequent service overall, offsetting some of the added complexity.

The Bottom Line

The V35A-FTS rewards consistent maintenance more than the old V8 did. The 5.7L was famously forgiving of extended intervals and occasional neglect. The twin-turbo V6 is not — skipped oil changes or running the wrong oil viscosity will damage turbo bearings and VVT solenoids faster than any comparable failure mode on the old engine. Maintain it properly and the reliability data from owners now approaching 100,000+ miles is encouraging.

Frequently Asked Questions

Toyota Tundra Maintenance Schedule — FAQ

The questions 2022–2026 Tundra owners search most — answered directly, for both powertrains.

Toyota recommends every 10,000 miles or 12 months under normal conditions using 0W-20 full synthetic. Under severe conditions — regular towing, short trips, extreme temperatures, or dusty environments — shorten to 5,000 miles or 6 months. Both the i-Force and i-Force Max hybrid use the same spec and interval. Many experienced Tundra owners follow a 7,500-mile interval as a conservative middle ground given the twin-turbo engine's added complexity vs. the old naturally aspirated V8.
Six spark plugs — not 4 and not 8. The V35A-FTS is a twin-turbo V6 engine. Six cylinders, one plug per cylinder, six total. This trips up many owners and even some online parts stores whose databases still expect 8 plugs from the old V8 Tundra. Always confirm you're ordering 6 before checkout. Toyota recommends replacing every 40,000 miles. Confirm the exact OEM part number via your VIN at toyota.com — multiple production variants exist.
All 2022–2026 Toyota Tundra models use OEM oil filter 90915-YZZN3. This applies to both the standard i-Force and the i-Force Max hybrid — they share the same V35A-FTS engine and the same filter. On later production runs the part number was updated to 90915-10010; this is the same Denso-manufactured filter and either is correct for your truck.
Engine air filter for all 2022–2025 Tundra: 17801-F4010 (also listed as 17801-YZZ17 in some databases — same filter). Replace every 30,000 miles. Cabin air filter for all 2022–2025 Tundra: 87139-0C010. Replace every 15,000 miles or annually. Both part numbers fit the i-Force and i-Force Max. One part number for each — no powertrain variants to worry about.
It shares all core intervals with the standard i-Force. Additional hybrid-specific items include: HV battery system inspection at each major service, inverter coolant inspection at 60,000 miles (replacement at 100,000), 12V auxiliary battery inspection annually, and brake fluid replacement every 2 years (vs. 3 years for the standard model). Brake pads last significantly longer on the i-Force Max due to regenerative braking handling most light deceleration.
The 5.7L 3UR-FE earned a legendary reputation and is a high bar to clear. The V35A-FTS has now accumulated meaningful real-world data through multiple years of ownership and the picture is generally positive when the engine is properly maintained. The key difference is that the V35A-FTS is less forgiving of maintenance neglect than the old V8 was. Consistent oil changes at the right interval, the correct 0W-20 viscosity, and timely spark plug replacement at 40,000 miles are more important on the turbocharged V6 than they ever were on the naturally aspirated V8. Maintain it properly and the reliability data is encouraging.
