Maintenance

Hey guys, Fell free to move this or title this as it should be mods.

Bought my 2014 with 20k on it, not about to hit 70k. My Toyota care which covers oil changes and such is about to run out and I am just curious what I should be doing when I do my oil change and such.

I know:
Air filters
Oil
Diff oil every 30k
Spark plugs? When?
Trans oil? when?


Just was wondering if people can point me to threads showing when to do certain maintenance so I can keep the truck in tip top shape.

Separate issue is, breaks. I plan to upgrade rotors but not to the $2,000 kits. Just something decent, but what about rear? Any way to upgrade drum breaks other than disc swap?

Thanks in advance and hopefully this can help people in similar boats. Link threads like crazy!

P.S. Should have yall add what fluid you use for what when youre doing your oil or trans and such

The stock 1gr-fe calls to have the spark plugs changed every 30,000 miles.
Transmission oil is a touchy subject. Most say if you are over 100,000 miles to never flush your trans fluid, at most maybe just drain the pan and refill. For me I flushed my tranny at 50,000 miles and will do so every 50,000.

 

Okay perfect! Ill look into trans and spark plugs. Hopefully I can do both

 

At 70,000 miles I think you would be fine to do so. Maybe if @gearcruncher is around he can chime in.

Edit: Also I would flush my cooling system. I believe the owners manual says every 100,000 miles. I did mine at 50,000 just because why not.
