Toyota maintenance schedule by mileage
Toyota publishes a Warranty & Maintenance Guide for every model and year. This is how the schedule works, using the 2022 RAV4 Hybrid guide as the example. Your model's guide may differ in the details.
Every 5,000 miles or 6 months
- Rotate tires.
- Visually inspect brake pads and discs.
- Inspect wiper blades and fluid levels.
- On hybrids, check the hybrid battery cooling intake filter for dirt or dust. Toyota schedules a cleaning every 20,000 miles.
Every 10,000 miles or 12 months
Replace engine oil and oil filter, on top of the 5,000-mile items. Toyota sets this interval when the engine uses 0W-16 oil; with 0W-20 mineral oil, the change is every 5,000 miles or 6 months.
15,000, 30,000 and 60,000 miles
- 15,000 miles: inspect the cabin air filter, brake lines and hoses, ball joints, steering and exhaust.
- 30,000 miles: replace the cabin and engine air filters, plus a full inspection of brakes, suspension and drive shaft boots.
- 60,000 miles: the 30,000-mile service again.
Taxi and rideshare driving
Toyota lists "extensive idling and/or low speed driving for a long distance such as police, taxi or door-to-door delivery use" as a special operating condition. Under it, the guide adds an oil and filter change at the 5,000-mile services. Toyota names police, taxi and door-to-door delivery. If most of your app driving is long stop-and-go city traffic, ask your advisor whether it applies: Toyota says to do these extra services only if most of your driving is under these conditions.
