    My 2010 tacoma "Maint Reqd" light just came on at 48600 Miles. Beside the basic oil, air filter, microfilter change, is there anything I need to look for? Sorry I'm new so forgive me if I post in wrong place. I plan to do it myself. thanks.
    I forgot to mention mine is CPO. I haven't call them. should I bring it in or I better take care it myself. Thanks.

    It's just telling you it's time for the oil change since the last oil change and light reset. Change oil, filter, and check your cabin air filter. You can lube the various zerk fittings also and rotate your tires. As far as them or you doing it, it's just a matter of what you want to do.

    After your done doing it make sure you are reading your odometer miles and hold the trip button while the truck is off and turn the key to ON just don't start it, and you will see the trip turn to dash marks and it will reset your light and interval so it will sart a new schedule for you.

    YouTube has a few vids to reset.

    Maint Required light will FLASH on & off at 4500 miles and stay on constant at 5,000. It's an oil change reminder....

    How long have you had this truck? Do you have any past maintenance information on it? There is a lot of other maintenance that you should verify that its been done in the past..... like differential oils, lubricate drive shafts, spark plugs, etc.

    Don't forget to rotate tires every 5,000miles.

    I have it since May of this year. This is my first Maintenance. I looked up the service hist from Toyota website but it's unclear what has been done. None of that mentions anything regarding differential oil or spark plugs etc. Here is the portion of most recent services maybe someone can read it better than I do...
