5VZFE MASTER MAINTENANCE LIST
(1996-2002 4runner, 1995-2004 Tacoma, 2000-04 Tundra)
​
Over the years, while tackling maintenance items on my own Toyotas, I've compiled a Master Maintenance List/Cheat Sheet for myself.
I have a great passion for these cars and I want my truck to run as many miles as possible.
To do so, I try to use as many OEM (Original Engine Manufacturer) parts as possible and stick to the factory recommendations as close as I can.
​
This list aims to cover a large portion of 'General Maintenance' parts and provide links to reputable replacements or brands known to the community. While OEM parts are the ideal route for these trucks, they are approaching the end of their time in production as we approach the 30 year mark for these classic SUV's. Thus, the need for reliable and equivalent part replacements for standard maintenance are becoming a growing concern. I hope to keep this list updated with reliable parts and alternatives as years go by while ALWAYS favoring OEM as much as possible.
​
This list has helped me keep my maintenance strait and my Toyota running like a top. This list is provided free for the community. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you. I hope this helps most of you and proves to be a valuable resource.
Let's Go Places!
