•Differential oil
•Drive shaft bearings (Land Cruiser)
•Engine air filter
•Steering linkage and boots
•Transfercase oil
•Transmission fluid or oil
•Wheel bearings (Land Cruiser)
For all four-wheel drive vehicles except RAV4, you should also lubricate the
propeller shafts daily.

General Maintenance Information22
Explanation of Maintenance Items
Fuel Tank Cap Gasket
Visually inspect for cracks, deterioration and damage and replace if necessary.
Nuts and Bolts on Chassis and Body
Re-tighten the seat-mounting bolts and front/rear suspension member retaining
bolts to specified torque.
Propeller Shaft
Lubricate the propeller shaft spiders and slide yokes with lithium-base chassis grease
and the double cardan joint with molybdenum-disulfide lithium-base chassis grease,
and re-torque the bolt. Only a qualified technician should re-torque the bolt.
Spark Plugs
Replace at specified intervals. Install newplugs of the same type as originally
equipped. A qualified technician should perform this operation.
Steering Gear Box
Inspect for signs of leakage. If you discover any leakage, have it repaired imme-
diately by a qualified technician.
Steering Linkage and Boots
With the vehicle stopped, check for excessive freeplay in the steering wheel.
Inspect the linkage for bending and damage and the dust boots for deterioration,
cracks and damage. Replace any damaged parts. A qualified technician should
perform these operations.
Timing Belt
Replace every 90,000 miles. A qualified technician should perform this operation.
Tire Rotation
Tires should be rotated according to the instructions in the Owner’s Manual.
When rotating tires, check for damage and uneven wear. Replace if necessary.
TransferCase Oil
Replace at specified intervals. When performing inspections, check for signs of
leakage. If you discoverany leakage, have it repaired by a qualified technician
immediately.
Wheel Bearing and Drive Shaft Bearing Grease
Repack the wheel bearings with wheel bearing grease and the front drive shaft
bearings with molybdenum-disulfide lithium-base chassis grease. A qualified
technician should perform these operations.
