N-Mir Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Hello, just wondering if we have a section where it tells us when to service and what to use and I don't mean just engine oil and the grade you use but also other things like brake fluid, steering fluid, all filters, timing belt any other parts that people might not consider but could save ??? if replaced early before failure. Sorry in advance if this has already been posted and answered a million times but I had a long look and could not find anything (if you can direct me to the right place you can delete this section) . Also could the items be listed like what make part to use as people have personal preference. Am looking to get work done to it before I tax in april so comments and advice would be much appreciated before i get ripped off paying extra money for something that did not need doing or for a branded part that is supposedly better than stock.

listy Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 The service schedules vary on a member to member basis. I service mine every 6 month (full service) or every 3000 miles. That includes all fluids drained and replaced. Some service them annually. Some after a certain mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N-Mir Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Thanks guys, I only did around 1000 miles last year and was serviced the year before when I did around the same so have not serviced for 2 years, oil is still cleanish but I know that over time oil will lose it's quality. Just wanted to ask because I know some people pay extra for parts that are suppose to be better but I mean would a branded oil filter be better than standard one you get from toyota? I know some things are worth the extra £'s but not all. Ill have a look at the two links. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
