Maint for 2006 4Runner 4x4 SR5

[nasdaqer]

I can't seem to find my owner's manual, and have a question about maintenance. Just hit 5k or so and changed the oil/filter and reset the maint light, but is there anything else to do at this point? Would someone be so kind as to post a maintenace schedule for me?

Many thanks

You can browse through Toyota's official maintenance schedule on their Web site. Go to the "Owners" button in the upper right corner, and then click "Scheduled Maintenance" on the line across the top of the window that pops up.

thanks --

do you know what pattern the tires are to be rotated in? just like an X ? Again, I wouldn't be asking such rudimentary questions, but my owner's manual has gone missing.

thanks

how often should you rotate tires?

The maintenance schedule says to do it with every oil change - 5,000 miles.
For soft tires, that's necessary to try to make them last longer. Soft tires have better dry traction (making them "performance tires"), but they only last 20,000 to 30,000 miles.
Personally, I think that's overkill for harder tires. The Michelin CT's are rated at 65,000 miles. For something like that, I'd say 7,500 miles is often enough.
It certainly doesn't hurt anything to rotate them more often. If you have your oil changed at a dealer and they throw in a rotation for free or a couple of bucks, you might as well do it while you're there and they've got the truck on the lift.
