Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Toyota Tacoma
Jones Toyota - Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Toyota Tacoma
At Jones Toyota, proudly serving truck owners in Bel Air, MD, we help keep every Toyota Tacoma ready for workdays, weekends, and the long haul. A consistent maintenance plan not only preserves performance and fuel economy, but it also protects critical systems like 4WD components, cooling, and advanced driver assistance such as Toyota Safety Sense™. Our Toyota-trained technicians use Genuine Toyota parts, follow model-year specific procedures, and tailor service to how you drive—daily commuting, heavy towing, or frequent off-road use. We make it simple with convenient online scheduling, transparent multi-point inspections, and service records you can reference at any time. Whether your Tacoma is a recent model or a well-loved classic, our team can advise on interval adjustments for severe use, help you understand which fluids and filters matter most, and confirm when items like spark plugs, driveline fluids, and coolant should be replaced. While the Owner’s Manual is the final word for your exact model year and powertrain, the general guidelines below are a smart starting point. Always consult the manufacturer or contact our service advisors for details specific to your vehicle, including any updates, campaigns, or coverage you may have through ToyotaCare.
- Every 5,000 miles or 6 months: Engine oil and filter, tire rotation, brake inspection, fluid top-off, tire pressure.
- Every 15,000 miles or 12 months: Cabin air filter check, steering and suspension inspection, battery test, and terminals cleaning.
- Every 30,000 miles or 24 months: Engine air filter replacement, brake fluid inspection, cooling system and hoses check, alignment check.
- Every 60,000 miles or 48 months: Spark plug service per engine spec, transmission and driveline inspection, differential and transfer case fluids as needed.
- Every 90,000 miles or 72 months: Coolant service per specification, thorough brake system service, inspect belts and pulleys for wear.
- After off-road, towing, or deep-water use: Inspect underbody, skid plates, wheel bearings, and driveline seals; recheck alignment and tires.
- After windshield or front-end repairs: Calibrate Toyota Safety Sense™ cameras and sensors to restore proper operation.
- Every visit: Multi-point inspection, software updates where applicable, road test to confirm performance.
Our service center pairs factory diagnostics with model-specific know-how, so your Tacoma’s 4WD system, brakes, and cooling components are cared for the right way the first time. We stock Genuine Toyota parts for reliable fit and finish, offer tire rotations and replacements matched to your driving needs, and provide clear next-step timelines so you can plan ahead. If your Tacoma sees dusty trails, short-trip driving, or frequent towing, ask our advisors to set a severe-service plan—shorter intervals can prevent premature wear and keep driveline fluids fresh. Remember, intervals may vary by model year, engine, and equipment; always follow your Owner’s Manual or contact the manufacturer for official guidance.
