The Toyota 3UR-FBE engine is known to experience higher-than-normal oil consumption. This can lead to low oil levels and potential engine damage if not monitored closely.

The V-shaped configuration of the engine can sometimes lead to oil leaks from the camshaft towers, which can result in oil pooling and potential damage to engine components.

Over time, the timing chain in the 3UR-FBE engine may experience wear, leading to engine performance issues and potentially costly repairs if the chain fails.

The port fuel injection system can sometimes cause issues with fuel injectors becoming clogged or failing, leading to poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.

The cooling system in this engine can be prone to failures, such as water pump leaks or radiator issues, which can cause the engine to overheat.

Due to the engine configuration and port fuel system, spark plugs may foul more frequently, leading to misfires and reduced engine performance.

The exhaust manifolds on this engine can sometimes develop cracks, leading to exhaust leaks and potentially triggering the check engine light.

Problems with the electronic throttle control system can lead to throttle response issues, including hesitation or surging during acceleration.

The Toyota Tundra with a 3UR-FE V8 engine is known for developing oil leaks, particularly from the valve cover gaskets and the timing chain cover.

Over time, the timing chain tensioner can wear out or fail, leading to a rattling noise on startup and potential engine damage if not addressed.

The exhaust manifolds on this engine can crack or warp, causing exhaust leaks that can lead to a ticking noise and reduced engine performance.

The fuel injectors may become clogged or fail, causing rough idling, poor fuel economy, and misfires.

The spark plugs can wear out prematurely, leading to misfires, reduced fuel efficiency, and difficulty starting the engine.

Radiator and water pump failures are not uncommon, which can lead to overheating and potential engine damage.

Carbon can build up in the throttle body, causing rough idling, hesitation, and reduced throttle response.

The knock sensors on this engine can fail, causing the engine to run improperly and potentially leading to engine damage if not replaced.

The camshaft towers can develop oil leaks, which can cause oil to drip onto the exhaust manifold and create a burning smell.
