Full specifications by generation
The oil on a Tesla Model Y is set by its generation, not its model year, so each generation has one page carrying the complete figures, part numbers and fitment notes for every year it covers.
Tesla Model Y oil: common questions
Does the Tesla Model Y need engine oil?
- No. The Tesla Model Y is fully electric. There is no combustion engine, no oil pan, and no oil filter, so there is no oil change interval to keep. The gearbox uses a sealed lubricant that is not part of routine maintenance.
