Hi all - New to Forum - ? reference manual

Hello,

I have a 2002 Toyota 4Runner 4WD SR5 3.4L (3rd Generation).
Her name is Grace.
I have had this awesome vehicle for 15 years now.

My life situation will be changing and want to know how to best maintain my 4runner so I can keep it for ever.
Okay, this may sound wacky but I hope to never buy another vehicle again.

I am curious and wanting to learn how to keep my ride going strong and how to maintain it myself. I have no knowledge of mechanics unfortunately. I first want to know how to change the oil myself. I have never done this myself.

I too want to know... is there a manual anyone would recommend that has a how to maintain, service and has a list of Toyota factory part numbers?

Any recommendations for learning a new skill and gain new knowledge in caring and maintaining my 2002 4Runner would be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Sara
