My 98 4Runner manual says to check the service manual for maintenance intervals, I don't have a service manual. Is there anything online that shows a suggested maintenance plan?

Also, I looked around some but didn't see anything right away (atleast for an auto).

I want to do the normal tranny/diff/transfer etc fluid changes and am wondering if there is a good link on recommended fluids and how to do them.

Any service manuals out there?

98 4Runner Limited Auto 4WD

I found a bunch of articles online, I'm not sure I can do a good job at the Auto tranny flush but I'm gonna do the rest.

Just do everything every day and you'll be fine.

A tranny flush would probably be best done at a shop with the proper equipment, but you could probably drop the pan and just replace the filter, and what gets drained. One of my friends drained his tranny pan, refilled it then shifted through all the gears and drove it for a mile or two. He then repeated this 3 more times, and on the final time he dropped the whole pan and changed the filter. His tranny fluid looks brand new, but not everyone has as much free time as some of my friends.
