Car Maintenance Schedule

Whether you drive a brand-new Toytota Crown or a trusty Camry sedan that’s a few years older, the best thing you can do for it is to follow your Toyota service schedule. All models and model years come with a manufacturer-suggested Toyota service schedule that’s expressly designed to keep your car in great shape and catch problems early.

So, what kind of services will your car maintenance schedule include? Basic items like oil changes and fuel filter replacements will take place at every visit, while others will occur at less frequent intervals. Although the services performed at each Toyota maintenance interval will vary slightly depending on the model and model year, most vehicles will follow a schedule that looks like the one we’ve outlined below.

Suggested Car Maintenance Schedule Intervals

Your car maintenance schedule will start off with an appointment around the 3-month mark. After that, you’ll continue to bring your car in for key services and inspections at regular intervals. You can expect your Toyota service schedule to look something like this:

Every 3 months / 3,000 miles:

• Automatic transmission, power steering, wiper fluid levels
• Engine oil and air filter
• Belts, exhaust, and hoses
• All lights inside and out
• Fuel filter
• Tire pressure, tire tread wear and tear check

Every 6 months / 6,000 miles:

• Car battery and cables
• Chassis lubrication
• Windshield wipers
• Polish your vehicle

Every 12 months o/r 12,000 miles:

• Brake system
• Coolant levels
• Transmission fluid levels
• Steering and suspension

DIY Toyota Maintenance Checks

You can do your part at home in Eatonton between the regular visits set out by your Toyota service schedule. This will help you to catch problems even earlier or to determine exactly when your car needs key services. We recommend these DIY Toyota maintenance checks for any driver, but especially those who frequently drive on gravel roads or go off-roading in and around Monticello:

• Check to see if the check engine light is on
• Clean the interior and exterior
