Toyota Tundra (USA / CAN)

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

Toyota Tundra (USA / CAN) uses power steering fluid with a capacity of 1 liter. Service intervals include checks every 8000 km or 6 months and every 5000 miles or 6 months. The data covers 6 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Toyota Tundra power steering system holds 1 liter of fluid across all listed configurations, spanning the 4.0 V6 and 4.6 V8 engine variants. A 1-liter capacity is typical of a hydraulic power steering reservoir fill, representing the fluid volume held in the system rather than a full overhaul quantity.
  • Canadian-market Tundra models follow an 8,000 km or 6-month check interval, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions. The dual trigger of distance and time ensures the fluid condition is assessed even during low-mileage operation.
  • USA-market Tundra models carry a 5,000-mile or 6-month check interval under normal use conditions. The mileage figure differs from the Canadian specification due to the use of imperial rather than metric distance measurement, though both intervals reflect comparable real-world distances.
  • The 4.0 V6 24V GSK50/51 in the Canadian market maintains the same 1-liter capacity and 8,000 km/6-month check interval across the 2007-2009 and 2010 model years, indicating no change in power steering system specification between those periods.
  • The 4.6 V8 32V 2WD UPK50/51/52 shares the same 1-liter capacity as the 4.0 V6 in both Canadian and USA markets, showing that the larger displacement engine does not require a greater power steering fluid volume.
  • The time-based component of the check interval, set at 6 months across all listed configurations regardless of market, reflects the role of elapsed time in fluid degradation independent of vehicle use distance.
