1998 toyota tacoma has 165000 miles, what services would help it

on the 98 toyota camry check that the gas cap is on tight or look at my fix on the toyota sienna that could be it or a vacumm hose could be split or leaking i would have these checked before you get into very expensive repairs look for the obvious first

their job is to sell work.however its a good idea to have the brake fluid flushed and the fuel system cleaned.the power steering fluid you don`t have to have flushed,you can if you choose to.you don`t have to have it done at a dealership and it will not void any warranty,if you have extended.

Hello. Welcome to FixYa. Please allow me to assist you.

The best service you can give your transmission is as follows: Drain and refill the transmission at 30,000 miles. Flush the transmission at 60,000 miles, drain and refill at 90,000, and flush it again at 120,000 miles. That is the same recommendation that I give my customers in our Toyota service department. Following that maintenance schedule, we do not have any transmission failures.

Thanks for choosing FixYa today. I hope that my assistance proves truly useful to you. If so, a 4 thumbs rating for my input would be very nice of you.

It depends on the filter and oil you use. My last Crown Vic had 165000 miles with no problems.

I use the Ford Lube services when there's a sale or Valvoline blended synthetic. Around 4000 mile intervals has been good for me. Never went longer than 5000 miles on anything I have owned. I have owned over 50 vehicles, never had lube failure.

The maintenance interval for all Toyota timing belts is as follows:

2000 and up: Replace every 90,000 miles

1999 and back: Replace every 60,000 miles.

We hope that this helps.

IT COULD DO WITH ONE NOW.

Yes.
My dealership charges about $325.00 for a 30K. Please describe what services that they are providing that would justify $500.00. That is out of line, IMHO.

If you had the 30,000 mile maintenance done, nothing of any real importance, just oil change, tire rotation, check air filter, check all fluids, tire pressures, etc. 30-60-90 K miles are important.

Is it you maintenance light(service eng ) or is it your require oil chance light? If it is your change oil now light look in our manual it should tell you how to reset it. Let me know which light it is.

Cheers

You said like tune up fuel filter was done, wires.
