Changing the oil on my 2006 Tundra turned out to be a major 2 hour project. And, as much as I like my Tundra Toyota could have a better design. Here's my findings:
A large oil pan is needed. My Tundra uses 6.5 quarts of oil.
The oil plug uses a standard 14mm wrench.
The location of the oil filter is somewhat hard-to-reach and can be accessed with only one hand. I used a pipe clamp on the filter and used leather gloves to protect my hands and get a better grip. Good luck if it is on too tight!
As suggested some times ago, I used a zip-lock bag over the oil filter as I removed it, but still oil spilled onto the shroud below and made a mess. That was very difficult to clean. I'll be removing this shroud at my next oil change. A roll of paper towels is a good idea. Also I use a large sheet of cardboard and a stack of newspapers.
The dip stick is very long, narrow and bends to the left. The dip stick tube becomes coated with oil, coats the stick, then getting a accurate reading from the stick is nearly impossible. I found that allowing the oil to settle out for a couple hours produces a good reading.
This was my first oil change for the Tundra. The break-in oil was a cleaner than expected. I have 920 miles on the truck and plan to change the oil again every 3000 miles. I decided to stick with Casterol. I'd appreciate any tips for changing the oil, particularly with a 2006 V8 Tundra.
