Toyota Tundra (USA / CAN)

Power steering fluid capacity & service interval

Toyota Tundra (USA / CAN) requires 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 power steering fluid capacity across all listed Toyota Tundra configurations — covering the 4.0 V6 24V and 4.6 V8 32V 2WD in both Canadian and US markets — is uniformly 1 liter. A 1-liter figure for a power steering system typically reflects the reservoir and line volume rather than a full hydraulic pump overhaul fill, making it a standard service-level capacity.
  • All specifications apply under normal use conditions, meaning the check intervals listed represent routine maintenance cadence rather than the shortened intervals associated with severe-duty or off-road operating conditions.
  • Canadian-market Tundra variants across both the 4.0 V6 and 4.6 V8 2WD configurations carry a check interval of every 8,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first. The dual trigger — distance and time — ensures the fluid is inspected even during low-mileage periods where time-related degradation may still occur.
  • US-market Tundra variants for the same 4.0 V6 and 4.6 V8 2WD configurations use a check interval of every 5,000 miles or 6 months. At standard conversion, 5,000 miles is approximately 8,047 km, placing the US mileage-based interval very close to the Canadian 8,000 km threshold despite being expressed in different units.
  • The 4.0 V6 24V in the Canadian market (GSK50/51) carries identical capacity and interval specifications across the 2007-2009 and 2010 model years, with no variation between those two entry groupings.
  • The 4.6 V8 32V 2WD Canadian-market entries (UPK50/51/52) are split between a 2010 entry and a 2011-2013 range, yet both share the same 1-liter capacity and 8,000 km/6-month check interval, indicating no specification change across that span.
  • The US-market 4.6 V8 32V 2WD (UPK50/51/52) covers 2010-2013 as a single unified entry, while the Canadian-market equivalent is divided into separate 2010 and 2011-2013 rows despite carrying identical specifications throughout.
