Toyota Tundra Maintenance Schedule
Regular maintenance and inspections are essential for the Toyota Tundra. Toyota has developed a maintenance schedule to keep the vehicle in peak condition and ensure safety. It includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacements, and filter changes, among other essential tasks. Maintaining a routine service schedule will keep your Tundra running smoothly, prevent expensive repairs, and increase your vehicle’s resale value.
A standard Toyota Tundra maintenance plan involves changing the oil filter every 5,000 miles and performing front differential and drive shaft boot checks every 50,000 miles. Additionally, you should re-torque the bolt on the propeller shaft every 30,000 miles. Your Tundra should continue to receive this routine maintenance throughout the life of your vehicle, and you can contact the dealer to schedule service appointments. In addition to performing regular maintenance, Toyota recommends that you bring your vehicle to a dealership for a checkup or a repair.
Your Toyota Tundra’s steering system is an integral part of your vehicle, so it’s essential to service yours regularly. A professional can inspect the components and perform suspension services, including strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, and ball joint lubrication. If you notice any signs of improper steering system wear, make an appointment with a Toyota dealer as soon as possible. To ensure a smooth and safe ride, have regular Toyota Tundra maintenance performed at an authorized Toyota dealership.
FAQ – Tundra Maintenance Service
Toyota recommends changing the gearbox fluid in the new Tundra every 30,000 miles. It may use about 10 quarts of automatic transmission fluid, and Dexron III/Mercon ATF is suggested.
The stuck-open secondary air valve is the cause of the Toyota Tundra P2440 error code. Once experience any issues, you’ll need the vehicle serviced by an expert. This will allow him to give you the correct assessment of your problem and how much it will cost to fix it.
So there you go, that’s how it works. I hope it helps some of you in the future and let me know if have any questions. Thanks for your time and have a great day my friend.
