Generally with my Yaris i service the brake hardware once a year, make sure its all moving freely and not caked up with crap and check the state of the pads and discs. Adjust the drum brakes, handbrake cable.
Change the oil every 7000-10,000 miles and the filter. Keep the brake fluid topped up. Once a year i change the air filter and the cabin air filter. Every 2 years 20k-30k miles i change the brake/clutch fluid in the reservoir and bleed the brakes/clutch and i also do the spark plugs at that interval as well. When i change the oil and service the brakes when its on the jack stands i do a full check of the steering and suspension that there's no play in the wheels or bearing noise. Check for any obvious damage to the steering and suspension and take a look underneath for any signs of rust or leaks. All I've had in 110K is exhaust, water pump and an alternator. Oh and a battery. And 8 tyres besides servicing. My trailing arm bushes and front control arm bushes are a little perished but not bad yet. The Toyota coolant is like... 100,000 miles/10 years. Mine is a 5 speed manual still on its original clutch. I think the chains last easily for the life of the engine as long as the oil is kept topped up. |
