Expected mileage 5.7 tundra

Hi all what is the expected mileage for a 5.7 tundra oil change every 6000miles with synthetic oil 5w20

has anyone had an engine fail? What was the mileage? And what was the cause??thanks

 

Base 5.7 or super charged?

 

Base non supercharge

 

Sounds like it was well taken care of, how many miles currently? Other PMs as well, depending on mileage swap out the other drivetrain fluids- transmission (drain/fill only), front/rear differential, transfer case, etc. A well maintained tundra can last as many miles as you're willing to put into it.

 

On a recent trip to NH. from Pa. I got 16.6 on the highway set at 65 on cruise control. I thought that was pretty good. I get about 15.5 around town, but I'm easy on the pedal and stay within the speed limit whatever that might be. When it gets cold I usually see the 14 mile/gal range and way less if I use 4x4. 238K+ right now.

 

Current truck 2015 needed timing chains done at 150000 miles
Was only one tensioner but deco to do the lot and new water pump too
My mates in USA say 300,000 miles is not an issue for the 3ur 5.7?

 

Did I gauge his question wrong. number of miles or mpg?

 

Life expectancy of engine??
Based on people’s experience

 

MY bad didn't read the question properly. I don't think 300k will be a problem with regular maintenance. Sorry about the previous response.

 

300K miles with good maintenance is readily achievable. Heck, 400k has been done often enough that I'd say it's not purely anecdotal.

 

Rarely, they throw a valve spring or have timing chain tensioner issues. Overwhelmingly, it is a low-stress engine that will keep noisily humming along for FAR longer than most people are willing to find out.

 

Change the oil every 5-7k, diffs every 30-40k and air filter every 10-15k.

If you’re the drive it til the wheels fall off type (like me), you’ll have other stuff to worry about for a decade or two

 

With how stiff CAFE standards are getting, we'd better hope for 1 million miles. Trucks are going to cost as much as houses in 5 years.

 

Bump the oil to 5w-30 and it'll go longer. If it sits very much, add a prelube prior to start system such as Masterlube and you can expect even longer.

 

Most people say mine is just getting broken in. I haven’t had any engine problems yet.

 

has anyone used any liqui moly https://runautoparts.com.au/liqui-m...PZxTL53jh8CVxzibM2nFdNy_lIZv_r-BoC8G8QAvD_BwE


Oil additives???!
Some say they keep a film on all moving parts????? Stops wear? But I guess a good quality oil should have all that in it???

look at my L/100 km on this trip…. It’s using Fuchs oil 5w20. After new timing chains

 

I have a 2014 with 612,000 miles or 984,000 Km

 

Awesome. I'm waaaay behind you at only 230K.

How is your driver's seat holding up, if I may ask?

 

Not too bad. Has a wear spot from going in and out.

 

I thought 105 k on my 2014 was getting up there. Looks like I’ll have mine for a long time.

 

I am about to turn 300k on my 2013. Has seen 10-11k oci on toyota bulk oil for most of its life

 

Wow that’s truly amazing!
What if any parts have you had to replace or re- build?
Thanks

 

Not a whole lot. Usual up keep stuff. Original motor and drive train

 

Have a 2018 and shot past 113K with zero problems - hoping to make it to 500K
