Any useful maintenance thread? With common torque specs, fluids, etc.

Just picked up a 2022 4Runner TRD Pro. I know I can read the old boring manual, but I would rather there be a thread I can find here like for forums of my other vehicles with all the common maintenance info like common torque specs, fluids, etc. I am coming up short on my search.

 

Welcome. I use the info from trail4runner.com. Here’s a couple of links to their maintenance guides.

Engine oil change:

Driveline fluid change: https://trail4runner.com/2018/12/24/4runner-driveline-fluids-how-and-when-to-change-them/

Hope that helps. Enjoy the truck!

 

Rotors/Calipers/ Breaks-
12mm
17mm
19mm

Front brakes - every 5k or 6 mo for visual; every 30k or 36 mo for measurements

Torque specs:
Brake caliper mounting bolts - 91 lb-ft (19mm)

Tips:
1) Measure runout 10 mm from outer edge of rotor; rotor should be installed with all 6 lug nuts torqued to 82 lb-ft when checking
2) If runout > max, check bearing play and axle hub runout normal before replacing rotors
3) If rotor stuck on hub, use an M8-1.25 bolt in holes on rotors to break it free
4) Install new rotors in position with least amount of runout


Rear brakes - every 5k or 6 mo for visual; every 30k or 36 mo for measurements

Torque specs:
Brake caliper mounting bolts: 74 lb-ft (17mm)
Brake caliper slide pins: 65 lb-ft (17mm)

Tips:
1) Measure runout 10 mm from outer edge of rotor; rotor should be installed with all 6 lug nuts torqued to 82 lb-ft when checking
2) If runout > max, check rear axle shaft before adusting/replacing rotors
3) If rotor stuck on hub, use an M8-1.25 bolt in holes on rotors to break it free
4) Install new rotors in position with least amount of runout

Breaklines
10mm

Torque specs:
Bleeder valve - 11 N-m/8 lb-ft (Front - 10mm deep; Rear - 10mm short)

Tools:
I like

$26 Allstar Performance ALL11017 Bleeder Bottle with Magnet and Check Valve , White

this bottle, but don't rely on the magnet, set it on something

Tips:
1) Make note of initial brake fluid level
2) Don't let reservoir get low which would let air in system
3) Sequence is FR, FL, RR, RL
4) Ignition switch has to be in ON for both front and rear
5) Fronts require cycling the brakes repeatedly to flush fluid (depress/loosen/tighten/release/repeat)
6) Press and hold brake on rears and allow pump to push fluid continuously
7) If bleeding air (and not just replacing), the FSM states that Techstream is required
8) Leave brake fluid level same as initial level
9) Will want a 10mm open-end wrench or 10mm offset wrench for the fronts due to the angle

 

You are fine. I still know guys using impacts to tighten that shit.

No thread lock.

Also I use anti seize on the back of the pads and the grooves they slide in to prevent squeaking. Not sure if it does but thats how I was taught so I keep doing it.

 

Also add this link for the complete? list of 5th Gen 4Runner Torque Specs

 

my 2016 runner in july 2016 ..in nov 2016 I changed the eng oil ...then inspect the drive train fluids ..
the rear diff is a gray color and the oil is some particles in it ..so changed it ...well the drive trains fluids 40K miles the fluid did very clear good ....
when in NOV 2018 I changed the engine oil sn plus ... MPG previously 17 MPG .. changed SN PLUS 20 MPG......

 

Hi guys,
Can I safely assume these numbers would apply to a 2018 Off-Road Premium?
Thx
