2018 Tacoma Maintenance Schedule 60k Miles ????

PS - Looks like this is the injection service process.

Doubt it's necessary. Also how can you facilitate that the solution runs through the direct injectors too?

I've always been under the impression that the only true way to service fuel injectors is to remove them, have them flow tested and, if they fail, use some kind of solution with some kind of agitation process to remove carbon build up (injector servicers call this an "ultrasonic cleaning process").

I should add that I've watched A LOT of engine break down videos, and 9/10 engines with port injection showed VERY clean intake valves. Drive it hard every now and again - the Italian Tune-Up is a real thing...

 

I think dirty fuel injectors is a bit of an overstated issue. Seeing early 1980's FI injectors with 150k miles on them and they usually run clean makes me think it's hardly an issue on newer cleaner vehicles.

 

OP, here is a good maintenance schedule for our trucks…

I would for sure pass on the fuel injector service. Not only does the engine itself run its own injector cleaning cycle often (those times when the engine sounds like a diesel for a few moments here and there is when it’s cleaning the injectors), but also because it’s not necessary at that mileage. If you really wanted to, you could buy a bottle of seafoam for $10 and follow the instructions for the same effect as what Toyota wants over $200 for.

Pass on the coolant, they’re trying to get you 30K early on that one (Toyota recommends changing their super long life coolant at 100K/10 years). In fact, I’d show your service writer the owner’s manual and ask why they are recommending this $250 service at only 2/3 of its recommended interval. Of course he’s going to feed you some bullshit, but at least he will then know you aren’t a fool and probably won’t try to up sell you on anything else that isn’t necessary yet.

Ideally, the oil should be changed in both diffs at 30K, and the T-case at 60K (or 30K severe), so if those haven’t been done yet, its definitely time. You can do it all yourself for about $150 for top shelf synthetic gear oil, if you want to save some cash.

I would go for the tranny, power steering and brake fluid exchanges, but you’ll pay about half at a regular mechanic compared to Toyota. If it were me, I wouldn’t give that dealership any business since they have already proven to be shady trying to sell you on the coolant early and the injector BS. BTW, you don’t have to get your services done at the dealer to retain your warranty, you just need to keep your receipts whether you buy the oil/parts yourself or have an independent shop do it.
