I put a Yotashop reman 5vz-fe dressed Longblock and New Magnuson Supercharger in my 4Runner. I have been combing through the forums trying to piece together a maintenance schedule for my particular vehicle. I thought I’d share it with y’all to see if anyone has anything they would do differently in my situation. It should be running next week! I'll share some pictures when it's done.

I have a different DD, so this rig will sees only see 3-5k miles a year, so I kind of had to use my imagination with timing intervals as opposed to mileage intervals for some things.

My truck:
1999 T4R
5 speed trans
4wd
245,000 miles
New Longblock (motor/ water pump/ oil pump)
New timing belt
New spark plugs/ wires
New oil
New radiator/coolant
New injectors
New MTF
New gear oil
New transfer case oil
New 2nd Gen Supercharger
New cats/O2 sensors
New rear drums/shoes
Brakes flushed


500 miles
-Change break in oil

Every 4k miles or 1 year
-oil change (opinions on full synthetic or conventional in a reman?)


Every 30k miles or 36 months
-air filter
-spark plugs
-coolant change
-differentials
-transfer case
-transmission fluid

Every 60k or what time interval?
-spark plugs?
-supercharger oil?

90k or what time interval?
-timing belt?
-s/c belt?
-s/c oil?
-spark plug wires?

160k
S/c rebuild

All seems fine. Can't think of why conventional oil would be better on a reman so I'd stick with full synth.

I'd add brake flushes and power steering baster fills....

Oh and since not driven much, I'd recommend a quality fuel treatment, check out Startron: Amazon.com: Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment - Concentrated Gas Formula 16 oz - Treats 256 Gallons: Sports & Outdoors

Luck and enjoy....

Looking into power steering and brake flush intervals now. Thanks buddy.

Why not just follow the owners manual recommendations? (for severe duty, of course...) I personally do 5k mile OCI's with Rotella T6 and an OEM filter. All else pretty much follows the factory schedule.

There are a few other things to add in there as the miles pile up, but those are closer to repairs than regular maintenance.
