these inspections every day:
•Check ball joints and dust covers
•Check brake lines and hoses
•Check brake pads/disc
•Check differential oil
•Check drive shaft boots
•Check engine air filter
•Check nuts and bolts on chassis and
body
•Check steering linkage and boots
•Check transfer case oil (4WD models)
•Check transmission fluid or oil
•Lubricate propeller shaft (4WD models
and all Prerunners with 4 cylinder
engines)

Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Replace the oil filter and drain and refill
the engine oil at specified intervals. For
recommended oil grade and viscosity,
refer to the
Owner’s Manual.
NOTE:Your vehicle is certified with
Genuine Toyota 0W20 motor oil. For
VEHICLES CERTIFIED FOR 0W20 motor
oil, the oil change interval is 10,000 miles
or 12 months IF 0W20 MOTOR OIL IS
BEING USED. If 0W20 is not available,
5W20 mineral oil may be used. However,
it must be replaced at A 5,000 miles or
6 month INTERVAL with 0W20 motor oil.
For customers who primarily drive their
vehicle under any of the listedSpecial
Operating Conditions, the motor oil and
filter should be replaced at 5,000 miles or
6 months, REGARDLESS OF THE OIL
USED (OR CERTIFICATION OF THE
VEHICLE).
Engine Valve Clearance
Inspect for tappet noise and engine
vibration and adjust if necessary. A
qualified technician should perform this
operation.
Exhaust Pipes and Mountings
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler
and hangers for cracks, deterioration and
damage. Start the engine and listen
carefully for any exhaust gas leakage.
Tighten connections or replace parts as
necessary.
Front and Rear Differential Oil
Inspect or replace at specified intervals.
When performing inspections, check each
component for signs of leakage. If you
discover any leakage, have it repaired by a
qualified technician immediately.
Fuel Lines and Connections,
Fuel Tank Band and Fuel Tank
Vapor Vent System Hoses
Visually inspect for corrosion, damage,
cracks, and loose or leaking connections.
Tighten connections or replace parts as
necessary.
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 perform this
operation
Radiator and Condenser
Inspect for debris, corrosion and signs of
damage. Have any problem repaired
immediately by a qualified technician.
