When using the 4.0-liter V6 engine in the 2011 Toyota Tundra, it requires 6.1 liters (6.4 quarts) of 5W-20 oil. The 4.6-liter and 5.7-liter V8 engines both need 7.5 liters (7.9 quarts) of the same viscosity. You can opt to replace the oil with 0W-20 in all three cases. Regularly changing the oil in your Tundra is crucial to prolonging your truck's lifespan as it minimizes friction, prevents corrosion, and helps with cooling. It is suggested to check the oil level and change it after allowing the engine to cool for at least 5 minutes. If you choose to have the maintenance done by a professional, it will cost you between $140 and $180, inclusive of labor.
