Approximately 7 quarts (6.6 L) of engine oil with the oil filter replaced during an oil change, or about 6 quarts (5.7 L) if you do not replace the filter. This is the standard capacity for the 2008 Tundra’s 5.7 L V8.
Oil capacity refers to the total amount of oil the engine's sump can hold when at full capacity. The difference between these figures arises from whether the oil filter is replaced during the change, as the filter contributes to the total oil volume that the engine can hold. The 2008 Tundra’s 5.7 L V8 uses the same general capacity across the late-2000s model years.

Below are the standard figures for this engine, distinguishing between changing the filter and not changing it during an oil change.
- With filter change: 7.0 quarts (6.6 L)
- Without filter change: 6.0 quarts (5.7 L)
When performing oil changes, verify the exact capacity in the owner's manual or a service bulletin for your vehicle, and use the recommended oil grade (commonly 5W-30 for most climates). Always allow the oil to drain fully, replace the filter if advised, and recheck the level with the dipstick after adding oil to ensure the correct operating level.
