Toyota Tundra Transmission Fluid

Which transmission fluid the Toyota Tundra uses by model year and transmission, and how to check the level.

Quick answer

Toyota Genuine ATF WS (2007 and 2022 non-hybrid owner's manuals). Other years and the hybrid: confirm in your owner's manual. Dipstick: Not confirmed for every year — see your owner's manual. The 2022 owner's manual still lists ATF WS for the non-hybrid 10-speed automatic. Fill capacity and change interval depend on your exact year, engine and transmission, so they are not listed here — use your owner's manual.

Confirm your exact version. The Toyota Tundra was sold across several model years and more than one transmission. What is shown here is general guidance and has not been verified for every individual configuration. Before buying fluid or servicing, confirm the fluid spec, capacity, and check procedure for your exact model year and transmission using the owner's manual or a dealer parts lookup for your VIN.
