Every how many miles do you guys change fluids?

Hello,

I have a 14 tacoma at 25k miles, right now doing the last oil service at the dealer.

I have only done oil changes..
Every how many miles should I change, transmission fluid, differential fluid, etc.. All fluids u guys can think off..

Thanks a lot!

 

ha

but yeah, maintenance intervals are all in there.

 

I don't see anything on transmission and differential fluids

 

differential ive done very 30k...tranny every 60-65k. done the diff about 6 times and transmission twice already.
toyota says 100k on the transmission but i wouldnt wait that long
but theres a bunch of threads that say this info!!

 

clearly you didn't read it.

 

start with page 36

 

and read until you're on pg 41

 

Everyone seems to have their own take on maintenance intervals, manual present or not. For me I do the following on my Tacoma:

Every 5k- Oil and filter, tire rotation
Every 10k- Air Filter change, grease driveline
Every 35k- Spark plugs
Every 40K- Front & Rear diff fluids
Every 50K- Manual Transmission oil change (maybe different if you have auto)
Every 50K- Transfer-case oil change
Every 100k- Coolant flush & possibly ps fluid/brake fluid flush

Im sure some do more, some do less. This is only what I do.

 

Do not wait till 100,000 miles for power steering flush
Buildup starts around 50,000

 

I used to do oil about every 4 to 5k miles using synthetic on all my cars till this year. Now I am retired and just had 6 month Toyota Care oil change with synthetic oil I paid additional for. Truck only has 1280 miles on it. It is one of three cars at house with 2 drivers I will be doing a yearly instead of miles by the looks of it. When I doing 15k a year at least 3 oil changes with synthetic. Transmissions/ Rears/clutch/brake I have never changed with exception of performance vehicles at irregular intervals subject to how hard I was on it. I have recently had a dealer tell me it was time to change steering fluid and brake fluid as I had 58k on car it was a Honda CRV never abused driven by my wife. I declined for three reasons. One was I was trading CRV in on Tacoma following week two I looked at and smelled fluids and they appeared full and fine. The third reason was they tried to tell me cabin filter was dirty and I had just changed it one month prior so trust in anything they said was not there. As far as transmissions steering brake fluids on a non abused car I have taken the approach if not broke or leaking leave it alone. Over the years I had countless friends change transmission fluid when all was good only to find them putting transmission in car within year. Just an old guys opinion.

 

Diffs every 30k. Transmission... before 5 years/60k, this way if problems develop after the fluid change, you can take it in under warranty.
______________________

My daily commute is just 30 miles round trip (stop-and-go rush-hour grind on the highway), so I do all my fluids based on calendar time. Changed the rear diff oil after 1 yr (for break-in). Changed the front diff and t-case oil after 3 yrs. Changed the rear diff oil again after 4 yrs.

 

Great thx!
