Toyota

Your exact schedule depends on year, engine and how you drive. Toyota's owner site has the official one.

Toyota owner site

From Toyota's own published schedule

Each line links to the page it came from. Model years differ — your owner's manual or maintenance booklet is the final word.

All Toyota models

Engine oil (synthetic)

Every 10,000 miles for Toyotas that use synthetic oil with a 10,000-mile interval

Toyota still recommends a visit every 5,000 miles or 6 months for other items. Your Warranty & Maintenance Guide lists your car's interval.

Typical maintenance

General ranges across many cars, not Toyota's schedule for your model.

Engine oil and filter

Often every 5,000–10,000 miles or 6–12 months

Newer cars with synthetic oil usually go longer; short trips and towing count as severe use.

Tire rotation

Often every 5,000–7,500 miles

Check pressure monthly when tires are cold — the right number is on the driver's door jamb.

Engine air filter

Often every 15,000–30,000 miles

Dusty roads and wildfire smoke mean checking it sooner.

Cabin air filter

Often every 15,000–25,000 miles or yearly

A musty smell from the vents is a common sign it's due.

Wiper blades

Often every 6–12 months

Streaking or chattering means it's time.

Brake fluid

Often every 2–3 years

Fluid absorbs moisture over time, even if the car sits.

Brake pads and rotors

Inspect at each tire rotation

Squealing or grinding means get them looked at soon.

Coolant

Varies widely — often 5–10 years for long-life coolant

Only check the level when the engine is cold.

Battery (12-volt)

Often lasts 3–5 years

Heat shortens battery life; slow starts are an early warning.

Transmission fluid

Varies by model — some are 'lifetime', some 30,000–60,000 miles

This one depends heavily on the maker's schedule.

Spark plugs

Often 60,000–100,000 miles

Most modern cars use long-life plugs.

Registration and insurance

Yearly or as your state and policy set

Saving the renewal dates in GoodKeap puts them in your Upkeap list.
