"Doubt in maintenance"

Hi, my name is Hector from Puerto Rico and my question is, I buy a Tacoma 2005 4wd in a Toyota dealer as a used car, I need to know if is good practice to change the (dif and transfer fluid) and the (trans fluid), the mileage is 59,000. My question is because I don’t know if the previous owner do that and I want to keep my truck in good shape. I change the motor oil and filter, spark, brake pads, only lacks (dif and transfer fluid, trans fluid, motor air filter, gas filter) thanks for you help

 

Hector, the diffs are supposed to be changed around 25k to 30k miles. If the truck was serviced by the dealer, they've hopefully been changed at least once.

I'd say now is the perfect time for you to be sure you have some good oil in them.
Rear diff, transfer case and front diff. The transmission (if you have an automatic) is a sealed unit and is not (easily) user serviceable. The oil is supposedly good until 100k miles.

 

Welcome, Hector

i would go ahead and change the differentials and tranfer case oil just to be sure. peace of mind is priceless. also...there is not a fuel filter to change...it is inside the fuel tank.

spend some time looking around the site...lots of good information about your truck.

 

Thanks everybody for the responce,I appreciate that.
