The 2018 Toyota Sequoia ran a single engine across all four trims, the naturally aspirated 5.7L V8 (3UR-FBE and 3UR-FE). This is the service and repair manual Toyota published for that year of the Sequoia, so the values and procedures are the ones written for this vehicle rather than carried over from a neighboring year of the platform.

Known issues on the 2018 Sequoia. Three recalls sit on the federal record for this vehicle, and two of them land on the hydraulic power assist steering system. The first covers JTEKT power steering gear assembly service parts for 2007-2021 Tundra and 2008-2022 Sequoia; the second covers 2008-2022 Sequoia and 2007-2021 Tundra vehicles whose power steering gear assembly may have been manufactured incorrectly. Both carry the same consequence: an oil leak may cause a sudden loss of power steering assist, increasing the risk of a crash. The third is on the gasoline fuel system at the fuel pump — if the fuel pump fails, the engine can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 36 complaints on this year of the Sequoia, and 119 technical service bulletins have been issued.
Chasing a power steering oil leak, tracing a stall back to the fuel pump, or working through scheduled maintenance on the 5.7L V8 — each job goes by Toyota's own procedure and the figure specified for the 2018 Sequoia.
