    My first Toyota Tacoma, 2004 2.4L L4 DOHC Automatic. The most basic model.

    I didn't receive an Owners Manual and it has 135K miles and I am about to bring it up to date on things that didn't appear in the Carfax report. I don't want to make uninformed decisions so I'm hoping someone can give me some advice on the following.

    Is there a free Owners manual on line that I could view?

    Oil to use, Castrol Synthetic?
    Spark plug types:
    Transmission fluid:
    Antifreeze:
    Brake fluid:
    Front Brake Pads:
    Fuel filter:
    Oil filter:

    Is there anything else I should be addressing?
    Thanks
    HH

    Welcome bud...not trying to sound like a smart ass here but if search using those key words or in the tutorial sections on oils and coolants you will find many conversations on what type of fluids everyone prefers. It really is a personal preference but it also helps to hear others opinions. I use pennzoil full synthetic oil myself and royal purple for my differentials and transfer fluids. Plugs, brake fluid, transmission fluid, antifreeze and oil filters I use toyota oem. Havent thought about the fuel filter yet. Brake pads and rotors I am on the fence about right now as I am needing new brakes. Hope this helps.
