Maintenance Question

[yarismaris]

I have 18,000 miles on my Yaris. I have read the manual's maintenance schedule, but most of them are just inspections, etc., except certain mileage points. I am DIY. So far I have been doing oil changes, I changes my manual transmission oil to Red Line synthetic, been changing air filter, cabin filter, and I know it is a bit obsessive, but I did a radiator flush and fill. At 18,000 miles, is tere anything I should do at this point? I am thinking a brake cleaning/inspection, but anything else you guys recommend? Thanks.

If you are going to be that excessive, then check whatever you want, you have already covered like 100k miles worth of checks and flushes, LOL

at 18k miles, the brakes should be fine, but if you feel like you need to check them, then go for it, I just changed my factory pads at 55k miles.

I was thinking more of dust collected in the brake drums. Is that an issue?

not really until you change the drum pads (shoes, whatever), then you just have to be careful about inhaling it while changing. No issues with mine.
