SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE LOGS18
Determining Your Vehicle’s Maintenance Needs
Special Operating Conditions
In addition to standard maintenance items, the Scheduled
Maintenance Log indicates services that should be performed
on vehicles that are driven under especially demanding condi-
tions. Specific conditions require specific services, as indicated
below. The Scheduled Maintenance Log indicates at which
mileage/time intervals each service should be performed.
You should perform these additional maintenance services if
you drive
primarilyunder any of the conditions noted. If you
drive only occasionally under these conditions, it is not neces-
sary to perform the additional services.
Driving on Rough, Muddy or Snow-Melted Roads
•Rotate tires
•Inspect ball joints and dust cover
•Inspect brake linings/drums and brake pads/discs
•Inspect drive shaft boots
•Inspect nuts and bolts on chassis and body
•Inspect steering linkage
•Re- torque drive shaft bolt*
•Lubricate propeller shaft and re- torque bolt*
Driving on Salt-Covered Roads
•Lubricate propeller shaft and re- torque bolt*
Driving on Unpaved or Dusty Roads
•Inspect brake linings/drums and brake pads/discs
•Inspect or change engine air filter
•Lubricate propeller shaft and re- torque bolt*
Extensive Idling or Low-Speed Driving
for Long Distances
•Inspect brake linings/drums and brake pads/discs
* Applies to selected models. See the Scheduled Maintenance Log for details.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE LOGS19 Towing a Trailer or Using a Camper
or Car-Top Carrier
•Inspect brake linings/drums and brake pads/discs
•Inspect nuts and bolts on chassis and body
•Replace differential oil
•Replace transmission fluid or oil
•Replace transfer oil *
•Lubricate propeller shaft and re- torque bolt*
Off-Road Maintenance
If you own a Land Cruiser or a four- wheel drive RAV4,
Tacoma, Tundra or 4Runner, you should check the following
items daily whenever you drive off- road through deep sand,
mud or water:
•Brake lines and hoses
•Brake linings/drums and brake pads/discs
•Engine air filter
•Differential oil
•Steering wheel, linkage and boots
•Transfer oil
•Transmission fluid or oil
•Wheel bearings
For all four- wheel drive vehicles except RAV4, you should
also lubricate the propeller shafts daily.
DeterminingYour Vehicle’s Maintenance Needs
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE LOGS21 Brake Linings/Drums and Brake Pads/Discs
Check the brake linings (shoes) and drums for scoring, burning,
fluid leakage, broken parts and excessive wear. Check the pads for
excessive wear and the discs for runout, excessive wear and fluid
leakage. A qualified technician should perform these inspections.
Charcoal Canister (CA, MA and NY vehicles)
Check for internal damage and clogging. If necessary, clean
with compressed air or replace. A qualified technician should
perform these operations.
Differential Oil
Inspect each component for signs of leakage. If you discover any
leakage, have it repaired by a qualified technician immediately.
Drive Belts
Inspect for cracks, excessive wear and oiliness. Check the belt ten-
sion and adjust if necessary. Replace the belts if they are damaged.
Drive Shaft Boots
Check the drive shaft boots and clamps for cracks, deteriora-
tion and damage. Replace any damaged parts and, if necessary,
repack the grease. Selected models also require periodic inspec-
tion of the drive shaft bolt for proper torque. A qualified
technician should perform these operations.
Engine Air Filter
Check for damage, excessive wear and oiliness. Replace if necessary.
Engine Coolant
Drain and flush the cooling system and refill with an ethylene-
glycol type coolant. A qualified technician should perform
this operation.
Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Change the oil filter and replace the engine oil with API SJ,
Energy- Conserving II multigrade or ILSAC multigrade oil.
For recommended viscosity, refer to your
Owner’s Manual.
Explanation of Maintenance Items
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE LOGS22Engine Valves
Inspect for excessive lifter noise and engine vibration and adjust if
necessary. A qualified technician should perform this operation.
Exhaust Pipes and Mountings
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler and hangers for
cracks, deterioration and damage. Start the engine and listen
carefully for any exhaust gas leakage. Tighten connections or
replace parts as necessary.
Fuel Lines and Connections, Fuel Tank Band
and Fuel Tank Vapor Vent System Hoses
Visually inspect for corrosion, damage, cracks and loose or leaking
connections. Tighten connections or replace parts as necessary.
Fuel Tank Cap Gasket
Visually inspect for cracks, deterioration and damage and
replace if necessary.
Nuts and Bolts on Chassis and Body
Re- tighten the seat mounting bolts and front/rear suspension
member retaining bolts to specified torque.
Propeller Shaft
Lubricate the propeller shaft spiders and slide yokes with
lithium- base chassis grease and the double cardan joint with
molybdenum- disulfide lithium- base chassis grease, and re-
torque the bolt. Only a qualified technician should re- torque
the bolt.
Spark Plugs
Install new plugs of the same type as originally equipped. A
qualified technician should perform this operation.
Steering Gear Box
Inspect for signs of leakage. If you discover any leakage, have it
repaired immediately by a qualified technician.
