The 2012 Toyota Tacoma comes equipped with a timing chain. It is recommended to change the coolant approximately every 60,000 miles. Your air filter should be replaced every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. If your spark plugs are not copper, they should be changed every 100,000 miles, but copper spark plugs should be replaced every 30,000 miles. Engine issues may arise, such as loose gaskets needing tightening, spark plugs falling out causing problems, and oil leaks that should be promptly fixed. Overheating is a serious concern as it could lead to fires or even the vehicle exploding. Additionally, if there is excessive oil consumption, the oil may need to be changed sooner than expected.
