So my new to me 2007 Tundra just turned 80k miles. What kind of preventive maintenance....

would you do due to age? I know plugs are good for 120k but should I take age into consideration? The truck seems to run perfectly?

Thank you. Great info but really looking for the concensus on what owners would change on a 15 year old car that has low miles. Versus what you would change at certain mileages.

 

Most answers will be all the fluids due to age - oil, transmission, diffs, transfer case, brake fluid. All can be done easily at home with regular tools and for just the cost of the fluids. Just don’t get the Toyota transfer case fluid, it’s over priced. Get ravenol.

 

My '07 crewmax, 5.7L, 4X4, clocked 70K few years ago (now has 75K). I had all the driveline fluids changed, belts, hoses and coolant. Recently, New tires (third set). New battery (third one). Might take me 10 years to put another 50K on, then I'll do it again. I don't agonize over preemptive mechanical repairs,(water pump, injectors, bearings, etc) I haven't a mechanical failure in 15 years, and if and when I do, I'll just get it fixed. It always starts and runs today as well as the day I drove it home.

 

Good info and 2wd so even less to do. Thanks

 

SO I shouldnt be concerned that the spark plugs are most liley 17 years old. Just go by the 120k? Again it seems to run perfectly

 

IMO - Nope! My 15 year old spark plugs work just fine (75K), mileage is the same today as it was five years ago (terrible). Having said that, You won't likely get a consensus here, so, If your if you are looking for parts to change, spark plugs will "eventually" need changing, either now or later - your dough, your call.

 

If you take the time to remove and inspect - just replace while they're out -----LOL
Ps - seized threaded parts could apply to half the nuts and bolts on the truck

 

I bought an 08 with 84k. I changed every fluid in it, cleaned the throttle body, battery terminals, replaced the air and cabin filters, and greased it up. I did plugs at 100k.

 

I have an 08 with about 90k miles. When I researched this, I found the general guideline was that you should replace the plugs at 10 years because they get brittle and can crack upon eventual removal (potentially dropping chips into the cylinder which could become a big problem).

So I replaced them just to be safe. But they were absolutely fine.

 

I changed my plugs and coils around 80. They were pretty rusty. Lives in a tropical climate all the trucks life though if that would make a difference

 

It may be worth putting a wrench on the plugs anyhow. I changed my plugs (2007) at 100K because I was bored, and half of them were pretty loose in the head. Probably less than 5ft/lb. and a couple were tight. I'd inspect the serpentine belt too.

 

fuckin' send it, doesn't need anything but oil & gas
