Toyota Corolla Maintenance Schedule

Did you know that keeping up with the factory-recommended maintenance can help keep your Toyota Corolla performing smoothly around the Laurinburg, Pembroke, and St. Pauls areas for many years? Following your vehicle’s maintenance schedule is very effective at not only increasing your vehicle’s lifespan, but also helping you detect any issues that could become major problems if left unchecked. To help you keep your Toyota Corolla in the best of shape, we’re going to let you know about your maintenance schedule.

Making Sense of Your Maintenance Schedule

Understanding your maintenance schedule isn’t too difficult, and you don’t have to be a certified technician to make sense of it. Your maintenance schedule will be broken down by mileage intervals. Time is also a good benchmark, but not everyone drives the same, so miles are an easier measurement. Each mileage interval will correspond with a list of services that you’ll need to have performed every time you add that mileage to your car.

Your Toyota Corolla Maintenance Schedule

• 5,000 miles: During this mileage interval, you’ll need to have your oil and oil filter changed. You’ll also need to have your brakes, pads, rotors, lines, and connections inspected, as well as having your tires checked and rotated.

• 15,000 miles: On top of the services listed above, you’ll need to have several components inspected. You’ll need to have your coolant level, ball joints, driveshaft boots, linkage, and your exhaust system all checked.

• 30,000 miles: At this particular visit, you’ll need to have your cabin air filter and your engine air filter replaced. You’ll also need to have your fuel system inspected, including the gasket, vent system, fuel lines, and hoses.

• 60,000 miles: Once you hit 60,000 miles in your Toyota Corolla, you’ll want to have your spark plugs replaced. It’s important to know that you’ll need to have your spark plugs replaced every 60,000 miles. You’ll also need your transmission fluid and drive belts checked. This is also a good time to have your battery checked to ensure that it’s charging properly.

• 100,000 miles: When you reach 100,000 miles, you’ll need to have a number of different services and inspections performed. Most notably, you’ll need have your engine coolant replaced. You’ll also need to have your drive belt inspected and replaced if it’s cracked, broken, or warped.
