    Was just looking on toyotas website about the scheduled maintenance for our trucks, doesn't say anything about changing diff fluid, tcase fluid and transmission fluid.

    Anyone know when we're supposed to do them?

    You should have 2 manuals in your truck.

    I just went out to my Truck and checked. I can't find the info either. Looks like the Canadian version has that info not included.

    @Herniator I'm thinking 45 000km for diff and t case
    90 000km for auto trans fluid
    did find 48 000km schedule for brake fluid and 160k for coolant.

    96k for spark plugs

    yep just talked to the dealer too, interesting the service advisor I talked to couldn't find any info on it either, wonder if it falls under the visual inspection thing here. For ours it always says inspect and adjust for all the fluids.

    But when I mentioned those numbers he said that sounds about right for what they do for other toyotas.

    Usually there will be a chart and also a side note for heavy usage for things like towing.

    Nobody pays any attention to Toyota fluid intervals anyway right? I read all the time here "I changed my oil at 500 miles. Interval is at 10K but those Toyota engineers don't know anything!" Like they know more lol. Diffs at 1K.... I truly think Toyota did not include the transmission dip stick just to give some guys that big giant middle finger and cause their blood pressure to rise to 300 bar...
