The 5.7 V8 engine in the 2009 Toyota Tundra requires 7.9 US quarts of 5W-30 oil along with a new filter. Regular oil changes should be done every 7,500-10,000 miles or once a year if using full synthetic oil, and every 3,000-5,000 miles or every 6 months if using conventional oil. Opting for synthetic oil offers advantages like improved lubrication, longer service intervals, and better performance in unfavorable weather. Thinner synthetic oil flows more smoothly in cold temperatures, providing thorough coverage to engine parts and better protection against wear and tear. The cost of an oil change and filter replacement typically falls between $170 and $190 for parts and labor.
