    Spark plugs Manual mentions every 60,000 miles. With todays fuel prices? Maybe more often?
    If you notice up to 30% lost of mpg? One solution mentions replace the spark plugs.

    My 2002 Exterra (engine failure) sold it. I was surprised the spark plugs were rated to be replaced at 100,000 miles. Factory plugs. I really like this Exterra, was built for going to the top of Mauna Kea mountain elevation 13,000 ft. Limited slip unit. RAS suspension. Nice riding. I do missed it.

    Thank you for your research and putting things in a more simple approach for maintenance. I printed it out and placed in my owners manual. Great work! and thanks again.

    thank you for putting this together! agreed the owners manual was way too vague, and my dealer would have me doing complete full services every 10k if i'd let them.

    Coolant is every 50K after the initial 100K change.

    Would changing the coolant in a 2020 at.25k miles be a waste of money? I've been on the fence about doing it pre emptively? My primary driver would be that it could potentially prolong the life of that damned coolant bypass pipe based on anecdotal evidence.

    Where in the manual does it say I have to do maintenance?

    Thanks to Ryan and other contributors. Saved copies for quick reference. I just finished 60K service except brake fluid change. Wish I had seen this before it would have made things simpler.

    I have a motive products power bleeder. I just got the adapter for my truck. Has anyone used one on a 3rd gen. I’ve searched the inter webs but haven’t found anything helpful.

    Just came across this thread. Lots of great info. What about adding the serpentine belt to the list?
