maintenance TOYOTA TUNDRA 2018 Warranties & Maintenance Guides (in English)

R
egular maintenance is essential to
obtaining the highest level of
performance from your Toyota. It
can also increase your vehicle’s resale
value. This booklet presents Toyota’s
maintenance recommendations in
convenient checklists, so you can easily
see what type of maintenance your vehicle
needs and document that the work was
performed.
To ensure that your vehicle receives
first-quality service and parts, Toyota
recommends having maintenance
performed by an authorized Toyota
dealership. Toyota dealership technicians
are experts on Toyota vehicles, and they
use Genuine Toyota Parts designed to your
vehicle’s exact specifications. When you
go to a Toyota dealership, you can be
confident that they will use Genuine Toyota
parts and have Toyota-trained technicians.
Miles or Months?
Toyota recommends obtaining scheduled
maintenance for your vehicle every
5,000 miles or six months, whichever
comes first.
For example:
•If you drive 5,000 miles in less than six
months, you should obtain maintenance
at5,000 miles- don’t wait until six
months.
•If at six months you have driven less
than 5,000 miles, you should obtain
maintenance atsix months- don’t wait
until 5,000 miles.
Be sure to keep an eye on your mileage so
that you obtain maintenance when
recommended. If you are a low-mileage
driver, mark your calendar to remind
yourself to obtain maintenance every six
months.
Documenting Your Investment
To help you verify that you’ve invested in
proper maintenance, each maintenance
checklist includes space for your Toyota
dealership to certify that you obtained
Genuine Toyota Service for your vehicle.
The dealership may mark the dealer
service verification area with the following
stamp (which may be customized with the
dealership’s name):

MAINTENANCE

Special Operating Conditions
In addition to standard maintenance items,
the maintenance log indicates services that
should be performed on vehicles that are
driven under especially demanding
conditions. These “special operating
conditions” and their required maintenance
items are clearly indicated in each chart.
NOTE:
You should perform these additional
maintenance services only if the
majorityof your driving is done under
the special operating conditions
indicated. If you onlyoccasionallydrive
under these circumstances, it is not
necessary to perform the additional
services.
Engine Oil Selection
Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for
the specific oil viscosity rating
recommended for your vehicle/engine
type.
Flex Fuel Vehicles (Use of E85)
When using E85 fuel, your engine oil and
oil filter may need to be replaced more
often. If using E85 fuel more than 50% of
the time, change the engine oil and oil
filter every 2,500 miles or 3 months. If
using E85 fuel less than 50% of the time,
follow the normal engine oil and oil filter
change schedule (5,000 miles or 6
months).
Additional Maintenance
In addition to scheduled maintenance,
your Toyota requires ongoing general
maintenance such as fluid checks and
visual inspections. These procedures are
explained in the “Maintenance and Care”
section of the
Owner’s Manual. Be sure to
perform these procedures regularly to
ensure the most trouble-free operation of
your vehicle.
SuperChrome and Alloy Wheel
Care
If you purchased genuine Toyota
accessory Aluminum Alloy Wheels, follow
these cleaning guidelines to maintain the
appearance of your alloy wheels:
•If wheels are hot, wait for them to cool
before washing.
•Use a soft sponge or cotton cloth to
apply the same mild car-wash soap as
used for the vehicle body. Quickly rinse
off with water. Use a soft cloth to apply
the same car wax as used for the
vehicle body.
•DO NOT USE: Any kind of chemical
based cleaners, alcohol, solvents,
gasoline, steam cleaners, scouring
pads, wire brushes, or coarse abrasives
to clean your wheels.
