I had a conversation with the parts man at my Toyota dealer today I asked the same question. I also own a 2008 5.7 Tundra.
First of all, if you found the oil filter you know how hard it is to get to. (Drop the skid plate.) then you discovered that there was no ordinary oil filter like you've ever seen before. And finally you got to the paper filter after removing the oil cover plate.
Well the parts man told me that you can't just purchase the tool to remove the filter it's a special tool that you can only get through MAC tools. You know the guys that drive the big white tool trucks, and it's expensive. NO ONE ELSE SELLS THE TOOL! NO ONE!
So I've decided to let Toyota do the oil changes. $80 and they rotate the tires too.
I'll bet you can't find the transmission dip stick either. Because there is NONE. Something else new to confuse you. They told me that the 5.7 tranny is designed to go 100,000 miles before an oil change in the tranny. The tranny must be brought up to a special temp and a special tool has to be used to check it and fill it. (Frustrating isn't it.) Something else that I decided to let Toyota do. I'll bet you looked in the owners manual to find out where the oil filter and tranny dipstick is, and could not really find anything. (Right) I also looked.
If you look in the manual to find how to change the "CABIN filter" (Bet you didn't know there was one) you won't really find anything either. It's easy, it behind the lower glove box. Open the Box, Remove the brace on the right side. Squeeze the sides of the box inward a little and pull it out. You will see a trap door. Open it and pull out the cabin air filter and replace it. Instructions come with it when you buy a new one at any auto store. (Cost about $25) Toyota charges $58 to do this same thing.
I've resigned myself to checking the air in the tires. Oh wait the 2008 also does that automatically. The reset tire button is under the dash by your right knee. (Sigh!)

Which oil filter is on 2008 Toyota Tundra?
Which engine? There are 3 different engine sizes and yes they have different filters. I highly suggest that if you have a 5.7L engine you let the dealer do it. ( talk to a service manager first before you try it, you will be shocked to find out what you have to go through to change that oil filter.) Also the transmission is the same way ( don't try to service it your self, add tranny oil) on the 5.7 engine there is NO tranny dip stick. It's designed to go 100,000 before servicing. I own a 2008 5.7 L Tundra I know! I also have a 2008 Tundra with the 5.7L iforce motor. Toyota dealer in Va. said you can buy the oil filter wrench from Snapon. Don't know how much it is haven't bought one yet. Also the engine id label plate that has your engine info will have the letters you'll need to match the right wrench with your motor. Not sure if yours is the same as but mine has 3URFE on the label plate. And if that is the case then the part number for Snapon is 09228-06501. Hope that helps. If you elect to do the oil change yourself. You have to drop the skidplate first. Then remove the 4 screws that hold in the oil filter. It's not a oil can but a paper filter. You will need the tool here. If you get it in wrong it will leak. The oil is not 30 weight but Toyota 0 weight. That's right ZERO weight. Now you know why I let Toyota do it.

I presume you are asking for the location of the engine oil filter as it is a fully submersible filter it is located on the rear of the lowest part of the engine (sump) LHS you will see a aluminium filter cap which you need to purchase the SST (specialised service tool) to remove of Toyota which is not expensive but to begin with I first used a chain wrench but i highly recommend purchasing the SST of Toyota to service your VDJ79R engine oil filter as I change my filter and oil every 5000 km
