Determining the Proper Maintenance Interval

Determining the Proper Maintenance Interval
Depending on your circumstances, you should obtain maintenance for your Toyota every 5,000 miles or every 7,500 miles. Follow these guidelines to determine which interval to use.


5,OOO Mile Intervals
Use 5,000 mile intervals if you primarily operate your vehicle under any of the following conditions:

^ Driving on unpaved or dusty roads.
^ Towing a trailer or using a car-top carrier.
^ Repeated trips of less than five miles in temperatures below freezing.


7,500-MiIe Intervals
Use 7,500-mile intervals if you primarily operate your vehicle under conditions other than those listed above.

Note: If you drive your vehicle under any of the special operating conditions noted in "Maintenance For Special Operating Conditions", you may need to perform specific services at 5,000-mile intervals. See the 5,000-mile maintenance charts for details.
