Congratulations! You and your Toyota 4Runner have likely been together for a full year. Once you’ve reached the 10,000-mile mark or the 12-month mark, whichever comes first, there are some routine services you’ll want to perform on your 4Runner.
These services include:
It’s important to regularly change your engine’s oil for several reasons. Most importantly, without clean oil, your engine can’t perform well. That’s because your engine filters out tiny pieces of dust and dirt that enters the engine’s system.
Over time, the oil combined with the debris forms a sludge, making your engine work harder. As a result, this could lead to health and longevity issues with your engine down the road.
You’ll want to perform these services each time you add 10,000 miles to your car.
Once your Toyota 4Runner reaches the 15,000-mile, or 18-month, mark, you’ll have some additional areas to inspect. This includes checking the condition of your wiper blades, lubricating the propeller shaft, and check things like your engine coolant and cabin air filter.
If you find yourself frequently driving in special operating conditions, like dusty roads, you’ll also want to change your oil and filter again. Additionally, now’s a good time to check your engine air filter.
We’re sure that over the years, you and your Toyota 4Runner have gone on countless memorable trips together. To keep the good times rolling, once you reach 30,000 miles or 36 months of driving, whichever comes first, you’ll want to run through a series of maintenance services in addition to those already listed.
These services include inspecting:
If you like stopping when you press the brake, you’ll want to check there are no leaks or damage, like rust, to your brake lines. That’s because when you press on your brake pedal, brake fluid will travel from the master cylinder to the calipers, which applies pressure to slow or stop your car.
If there are leaks to your line or any damage, the fluid will have a harder time traveling, forcing you to use more pressure when applying your brake.
It doesn’t matter if you and your Toyota 4Runner have been together for one year or 10 years, following this Toyota 4Runner maintenance guide is the easiest way to make sure you’ll be cruising near Danvers, Peabody, and Salem, MA, for years to come.
