The 2008 Toyota Tundra comes equipped with a timing chain. It is recommended to replace the coolant every 60,000 miles, while the air filter should be replaced between 15,000 to 30,000 miles. Spark plugs typically need to be changed every 100,000 miles, except for copper ones, which should be replaced every 30,000 miles. Engine issues can arise, such as loose gaskets needing tightening, spark plug malfunctions, oil leaks that require immediate repair, and increased oil consumption, necessitating more frequent oil changes. One critical issue to watch out for is engine overheating, as it can escalate to fires and potential car explosions.
