Determining Your Vehicle's Maintenance Needs 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. 5,000-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-Mile 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 below, you may need to perform specific services at 5,000-mile intervals. See the 5,000-mile maintenance charts for details. Special Operating Conditions In addition to standard maintenance items, the scheduled maintenance log indicates services that should be performed on vehicles that are driven under especially demanding conditions. Specific conditions require specific services, as indicated on the following page. The scheduled maintenance log indicates at which mileage/time intervals each service should be performed. You should perform these additional maintenance services if you drive primarily under any of the conditions noted. If you drive only occasionally under these conditions, it is not necessary to perform the additional services. 16 General Maintenance Information
