30,000 CHECK UP

What did yours cost? Assuming you had it done and didn't do it yourself.

 

There’s not much to the 30k nowadays. Oil change/tire rotation/cabin filter/air filter maybe.

 

It depends are you 4 or 6 cylinder? 6 cylinder is due for plugs at 30k

 

Differential change oil change

 

6

 

I was around $320. Oil change/filter/new spark plugs/tire rotation...don't remember if anything else was needed.

 

Almost all the fluids are long life, including the diff fluid. Let me confirm the diff fluid

 

just because they are long life, doesn't mean they shouldn't get replaced.

 

Maintenance guide will tell you specifics.

I did front and rear differential , transfer case, plugs, and oil/filter.

 

Correct long life doesn’t mean not change. It definitely depends on driving conditions. Owners manual has the full maintenance schedule.

 

Nothing. Did it all myself. Had the fluids on hand.

 

They didn’t do anything; changed the oil. They said they looked/checked at things.

I changed the fluid in the F&R diffs, transfer case. Also changed spark plugs & PCV valve.

 

Remember if you take it to dealer make sure the engine is cold when changing the spark plugs (at least that is what I been told to do).

Dealer did the following at 30K:
-Oil & Filter
--rear diff
--rotate & balance, alignment
--air filters engine & cabin
-plugs

I believe dealer charged Toyota about $500.

When I did it myself at home @ 60k miles for same above I spent about $150 for plugs, fluid, and filters.
Plus about 1 hour of my time and beers for my uncle supervising.

 

abso-fucking-lutly not. Trans is every 60k, rear diff should be changed after the first 5k (to get rid of all the break in shavings) then again at 30k, and every 30k after that.

Front diff and tcase every 60k.


If you think your diff fluids are lifetime, you will be replacing pinion bearings, ring and pinion around the 100-120k mile mark.
