Toyota recommends having your 2012 Toyota Tundra’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Tundra may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Toyota recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Toyota Tundra. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
