2022 Toyota Sequoia

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 Sequoia.

Transmission Automatic (S6)

The 2022 Toyota Sequoia relies on a 0W‑20 oil system that holds 8.5 quarts and is mated to an automatic six‑speed transmission, delivering EPA‑rated fuel economy of 13/17/15 mpg. In its first year of ownership it logged just a single complaint, the highest‑frequency issue being steering, while also being subject to two recalls. That complaint total marks the lowest point in the model’s history since 2001, a stark contrast to the 2002 peak of 692 complaints. Consequently, the 2022 model year represents the most reliable iteration of the Sequoia to date.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; spark plugs at 120,000 mi; coolant every 50,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 50,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2022 Toyota Sequoia sits at the end of a long, downward arc in federal complaints for the nameplate, registering just 1 complaint—the lowest figure anywhere in the 2001–2022 record—alongside 2 recalls, no investigations, and 84 technical service bulletins. That lone complaint falls in the steering category, with zero crash or fire reports filed for the model year, which is a notably clean safety signal even though the data does not specify the root cause. The generational trend is striking: complaints peaked at 692 in 2002 and have declined almost monotonically, with 2020, 2021, and 2022 each posting fewer than five, while recalls have similarly compressed from a high of 11 in 2005 to a steady 2 in each of the most recent three years. TSBs have likewise fallen from a 2013 peak of 363 to 84 in 2022, suggesting a maturing platform with fewer field-reported service issues as the model ages. One important caveat: the lower absolute numbers for 2022 partially reflect a shorter time on the road compared to older model years, not necessarily a defect-free vehicle, so early-life issues could still surface. On balance, the federal record presents 2022 as a strong used-buy candidate, provided a pre-purchase inspection pays specific attention to the steering system given the singular reported complaint.
