    Hi,

    Where can I find 2002 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner 4cyl "Maintenance Guide"? the person who used to do the maintenance passed away. The vehicle has 246,000 Miles and there is no maintenance log. At what milage do I replace transmission fluid and filter?

    I'm also wondering about what milage do I need to replace the rear & front differential fluids, radiator fluid, brake fluid as well as crankcase fluid if it has that. The lack of info is troublesome.

    what is the schedule of frequency to replace these fluids.


    thank you for your help

    Here you go - most of his engine videos are on the 3.4, but other than that, all the front suspension, steering, wheel bearing and transmission (assuming you have an auto) videos will apply even though he’s got a 4runner and you’ve got a Tacoma. For anything specific you can always start a thread in the first Gen section like you did with this, or make a build thread in the build thread area.

    1999 Prerunner single cab. With a BO7A rear end
    All kinds 3 inch body lift/2 1/2 suspension lift. 31/11 1/2/15 tires All work done by myself for years. The only work performed by mechanic was fuel pumps. I also have a 90 Mustang 350 hp and I can never understand how come my Tacoma gets more respect Just got a 99 Jeep TJ that I rebuilt, and painted in the garage
    It's easy to do, but with that many miles it may slip it up. I did my change on my trans every other year for years. 260K my tranny gave up.

    OP why don’t you look at the condition of the fluids? Transmission fluid should be bright red. If the different oils are dark they need changing
