What Is the Toyota Tacoma Maintenance Schedule?

For your everyday driving and off-road adventures alike, the Toyota Tacoma is an excellent vehicle you should consider the next time you're in the market for something new. If you've recently invested in a Tacoma, you might be wondering what kind of checks and maintenance it needs moving forward. An appropriate maintenance schedule can not only keep your vehicle running smoothly but can protect your investment for many years to come. The maintenance intervals that are discussed below are based on our professional experience. You can also look at the owner's manual that came with your Toyota Tacoma if you're interested in comparing this information with what the manufacturer of your automobile recommends. Specifics may vary based on the specific trim model that you have and the year it was made.

15,000-Mile Service

Upon bringing your Toyota Tacoma in for a 15,000-mile service appointment, you can expect an oil change to be performed. This will protect your engine and potentially improve your fuel efficiency rating. An inspection of your brakes and tires is also important during this appointment. This will confirm the overall safety of your vehicle, in addition to a check of your headlights and windshield wipers.

30,000-Mile Service

Expect your tires, brakes, and oil to be serviced again at this appointment. In addition to these items, your Toyota Tacoma's fuel filter and air filter may need to be cleaned or replaced. While they may still be in very good shape, driving conditions can have a big impact on their condition. Dusty locations can result in more frequent replacements.

60,000-Mile Service

Upon your Toyota Tacoma hitting 60,000 miles, you should expect that some additional maintenance will be added to your appointment. This is a time when your brake fluid and brakes may need to be replaced if they haven't already. An inspection will determine if this is necessary. Also, your transmission fluid and coolant will likely have a life span of about 60,000 to 75,000 miles, so it may be time for a changeover. A routine inspection of your battery will determine if you can rely on an easy startup in the morning. Technicians check the current charge of your battery, in addition to its ability to be charged and whether or not it can hold a charge.

90,000-Mile Service

Expect a repeat inspection of things like spark plugs, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, and oil at your 90,000-mile appointment. You may also need to have hoses, or your timing belt serviced, depending on their condition.
