    which fluids?

    Your owners manual should tell you the recommended intervals for all fluids.

    If this is a new truck to you, I would assume the fluids haven't been changed unless the previous owner supplied receipts.

    I can't find the official Toyota link for the maintenance schedule, but this should get you going too.

    Brake and clutch hydr. fluid should be flushed when it becomes darker than COORS light. A cold Yeungling sounds good after saying that.:anonymous: Power steering fluid at the same time . Coolant drain and fill with long life pink at 50k
