My 2000 4Runner is currently at around 118,000 Miles and I was wondering what sort of tune up should I do for it? I bought my 4Runner in May 2007 at 111,000 miles, and I haven't had anything major done to it. The shop I go to recommends a Differential Fluid service. I had my belts changed recently (except the timing belt) and my battery replaced. I don't even know if the timing belt has been changed or not, there were no records available from the dealership. Or of the previous owner.

Any information would be great.
appy New Year everyone!

-change Tbelt, water pump and thermostat-- inspect coolant hoses very well.
- change plugs- ngk or denso dual electrode plugs
- change pcv valve
- seafoam and or other fuel treatment (remember to change the oil and plugs AFTER you do this)

- thoroughly check your cv boots and etc for cracks and or leaks
- grease drive shafts and remember to get ALL of the zerks (M1 works well)
- drain and fill tranny (approx 4-5 qts needed) and do this every 15k miles or sooner
- replace all diff and T-case fluids
- flush coolant system or drain and fill.
- change air filter every 10k miles, our filtration sucks bad and remember not to exceed 5-6k miles on oil changes no matter what oil you use..

Look around on the timing cover, there may be a timing belt service sticker with the mileage and date.

Thanks mkgarrison5 for the extensive list, that's going to be a printout to my to do list.

mt_goat, I couldn't find any sticker, or what people say si the bolts holding the cover should show wear, but they don't...

Do you think the previous owner didn't change the pump?
Thanks.

one more thing, replace the fuel filter. the yota place will tell you its not necassary but it is and trust me you will notice a difference!

no problem, the reason why i listed it like that is bc thats what i am getting ready to do with my truck at 103k miles. be sure to write everything down and mileage. if you do all of this at one time its very easy to keep up with as far as time and maintenance goes

remember to change the plugs, pcv valve, diff and tcase oil every 30k miles. its cheap maintenance

Probably not if the timing belt wasn't replaced. The timing belt has to be removed to get the water pump out. The timing belt on these trucks drives the water pump. That's why its recommended to replace them together.

I strongly agree with that, mkgarrison5. This info is lots of help.
