Engine oil OEM Toyota or OEM BMW
Forgive me but I’m confused. The Tundra doesn’t have two separate oil reservoirs that I’m aware of and I change my own oil. Also, for what it’s worth mines been flawless since 2022 and almost 40,000 miles (not that that is a lot but just saying).
While I didn't own a 2018 (mine was 2013 hybrid -> 2022 prime), here's my short list:
Electric gives a huge increase in torque from 10-50mph
Mechanic told me the oil came out barely darker than it went in on the last change. ~80% electric miles
I’ll do the 15k oil change soon with Toyota OEM 0w-16, which is made by M1 but has a much higher moly content than the regular retail M1 oil.
My 2009 1.33 likes both 5w30 (or 0w30) and 0w20. Out of the factory they came with 5w30, but toyota later recommended the switch with the 1.33 engine. With normal use and lower speeds 0w20 is best, if you drive a lot at higher rpms than 5w30 would be better (at130kmu/3200rpm 5w30 is smoother).
bmw oem 5w30. n ai cum sa dai gres.
On 0w16 the engine is smoother, more responsive, quieter and consuming about 0.2L to 0.5L less fuel per 100 km.
Toyota OEM oil is very high quality stuff with lots of wonderful additives that are good for a long lasting engine.
I’ve been happy with the 0w20 in my 1.8l Corolla.
I check the oil a couple times a month, mostly because it's leaking oil a bit and needs a top-off every thousand miles or so.

Thing just guzzles oil. I believe the model I had was manufactured in England.
Had to top up the oil every 3000kms
