    2012 Tundra Crewmax Platinum 5.7L 4x4
    I just inherited my father's 2012 Toyota Tundra Crewmax Platinum edition 5.7L 4x4. It has 85,000 miles. I know my father kept the oil changed on a regular schedule. I don't think he has done anything outside of that other than new brakes. What preventative maintenance do I need to have done at this mileage? Plan on keeping the truck for a long time.

    Front and rear diffs fluid change. Transfer Case fluid change. Check your belts, Tension pulleys, belts (timing belt for sure and the pully for this. Mine blew and the only thing keeping it on was prayer. Ran it for about 500 miles before finding that one!) Air filters. If you want to go even more, do an engine clean, and then have your fuel injectors cleaned as well from carbon.

    Others, that know more can help better, but there is a lot of wisdom here. This would be my start list.

    Also check tires to see if needed to be rotated.

    If it’s a 5.7 it has a timing chain, not a belt. I would do the above, and add in new coolant, plugs either now or at
    100k, brake fluid, and a transmission drain and fill. Sorry about your dad…
