Breaking Down Your Maintenance Schedule

Before we start, it’s important to know how your maintenance schedule is structured. Below, you’ll see a list of mileages that correspond with a list of services. Every time you hit that mileage, those are the services that you’ll need to have performed, and you’ll need to repeat those services each time you add that mileage to your vehicle. It’s important to regularly check your odometer to see the next time your vehicle needs to be serviced.

Your Toyota Tacoma Maintenance Schedule

• 10,000 miles: Once you reach 10,000 miles, you’ll need a few important services performed, like an engine oil and oil filter replacement, as well as a tire rotation to evenly distribute the wear. During this interval, you’ll also need a few things inspected, including your fluid levels, brake linings, drums, pads, and wiper blades. If you drive under severe conditions, e.g., excessive towing, you’ll need to have these services performed at 5,000 miles.
• 15,000 miles: At this particular interval, you’ll need to lubricate your propeller shaft (4WD) and re-torque the propeller shaft. In terms of inspections, you’ll need to have your engine coolant, ball joints, exhaust pipes and mountings, differential oil, radiator, and steering linkage all checked.
• 20,000 miles: On top of the repeated services during this mileage, you’ll need to have your cabin air filter replaced.
• 30,000 miles: After you’ve had all the standard services performed, this interval adds an engine air filter replacement to the list.
• 60,000 miles: This interval simply adds a spark plug replacement to the growing list of services. Of course, you’ll have new items to be inspected, like your fuel lines and connections, transmission, and drive belts.
• 120,000 miles: This visit will have a lot of different services and inspections. Most notably, you’ll have to have your spark plugs replaced again, as well as a thorough inspection of all your vehicle components.
