Toyota Maintenance
Timely maintenance of Toyota cars allows you to prevent serious breakdowns and insure against road accidents. You will reduce fuel and oil costs, and also identify all defects at the initial stage. Maintenance is performed as a preventative measure to increase your safety while driving and significantly increase the service life of the vehicle. All internal components gradually wear out, so it is recommended to perform maintenance every 10,000 kilometers. Many factors have a destructive effect on nodes:

• Low quality fuel.
• Vibrations and shocks when driving on uneven road surfaces.
• Low temperatures in the winter season.
• Storage in an open parking lot without protection from rain and snow.
• Violation of the operating instructions.
• Aggressive driving style.

Gradually, the parts change shape and become thinner because they fray during driving. Therefore, even when operating in ideal conditions with high-quality fuel, a favorable climate and smooth roads, wear of internal components is observed. Therefore, there are 4 types of maintenance: seasonal, primary, secondary, daily.

What needs to be changed during service life

There are several elements and consumables on Japanese Toyota RAV4 crossovers that are not clearly tied to a specific mileage, unless you take into account some exceptions.

Here it is worth focusing on the following spare parts:

• Spark plug. According to regulations, these elements of the ignition system on Toyota RAV4 vehicles are required to be changed at intervals of 100 thousand kilometers. But as part of each maintenance, it is recommended to check their condition. It is possible that the spark plugs will use up their lifespan before TO-10. That's why it's always a good idea to keep a set of spare spark plugs in your glove compartment.
• Gearbox oil. There is no clear link to a specific age or mileage. But the manufacturer states in the operating manual that the condition and level of oil in gearboxes must be checked every 15 thousand km. Lubricant is added as needed.
• Drive belt. Changes as needed. You need to check the technical condition and degree of wear according to the manual every 20 thousand kilometers traveled. The average service life of a drive belt ranges from 80 to 140 thousand km. This depends on operating conditions, driving style and other factors.
• Valve train chain. As conceived by the Japanese automaker, the chains on the gas distribution mechanisms of the latest generations of Toyota RAV4 crossovers are installed for the entire service life of the vehicle. There are a number of examples where, even after 200-250 thousand km, there was not the slightest sign on the car that the timing chain needed to be changed. But there are also drivers who had to buy a new chain with all the additional components (shoe, tensioner, damper) after 100-120 thousand km. Here act according to the situation.

The regulations prescribed for Toyota RAV4 crossovers are quite clear and have a clear cycle.

TO-4

For many cars, TO-4 occurs after 4 years or 60,000 km. mileage But not in the case of the Toyota Corolla. This scheduled maintenance is carried out after 40 thousand km, that is, 20 thousand km. earlier.

As part of this maintenance, it will be necessary to repeat the operations relevant for TO-1 and TO-2. But plus there are several additional mandatory substitutions.

It is necessary to change after 40 thousand km:

• engine cooling system air filter;
• brake fluid;
• clutch hydraulic fluid (if there is a manual transmission);
• spark plug.

Diagnostic measures are also similar to TO-2, but there are a couple of additional checks. They relate to the level and possible addition of oil from an automatic transmission, manual transmission or robotic gearbox.

TO-1

The first maintenance of a Toyota Corolla model 2008, 2011 or 2014, as well as more modern versions, will need to be done after a year or as the first 10 thousand kilometers pass.

The subsequent schedule provides for an interval of 10 thousand km. or 1 year. Keep in mind that each maintenance will include a certain list of work related to replacing spare parts, consumables, and checking the condition of components and systems.

During the first maintenance, as well as during each subsequent scheduled maintenance, you must check:

• cooling system;
• fuel system;
• CV joint covers;
• hydraulic clutch (if the gearbox is mechanical);
• front suspension;
• rear suspension;
• body;
• paintwork;
• tires and wheels;
• hydraulic drive of the brake unit;
• braking system;
• battery;
• headlights;
• sound alarm;
• light alarm;
• headlight washers;
• glass washers;
• air filter;
• air conditioning or climate control;
• seat belts;
• drainage holes;
• locks, hinges and latches on the doors, hood and trunk.

Regardless of the maintenance number, all of the listed activities will be carried out without fail.

Features of the regulations

The current regulations for maintenance of Toyota Corolla vehicles provide for cyclic repetition of maintenance procedures.

Therefore, motorists mainly need to know about the nuances of maintenance from TO-1 to TO-4. Then they are simply repeated. That is, TO-5 will be similar to TO-1, TO-6 will be a repetition of TO-2, and so on.

As for frequency, here Corolla differs from many competitors. The Japanese automaker recommends visiting a car service center at intervals of not 15 thousand km, but 10 thousand kilometers traveled. The age interval is similar and is 1 year.

Toyota RAV 4 maintenance schedule, table

When the car is taken to the service center in due time, technical problems are noticed and corrected.

At TO-1 they change the oil in a 2021 Toyota engine. If it has a volume of 2.0 liters (gasoline), then 4.2 liters of lubricant are used. For modification with a 2.2-liter power plant (diesel), 5.9 liters of working fluid are required. Change the oil and cabin filters at the same time.

The following nodes are diagnosed:

• Coolant, hoses and connections that serve it.
• All accessory belts, fuel lines.
• Angular velocity joints.
• Front and rear suspension.
• Crankcase ventilation.
• Threads at the junction of the chassis and body.
• Braking system, including handbrake.
• Steering wheel - check for play.
• Wheel alignment.
• Condition of the battery and spark plugs.
• Optics.
• How the hood is locked (latches and hinges).
• Clean the drainage holes.

At TO-2, when the car has covered 20,000 km, and TO-3 with a mileage of 30,000 km, they act as during the first technical inspection.

At a mileage of 40 thousand km, the regulations remain the same. But they add maintenance to the brake system - they change the brake fluid. The air filter, oil in the transfer case and rear axle gearbox must be replaced. The car is already 3-4 years old; the driver himself can ask for additional inspection of suspicious parts or systems.

At TO-5, as at the first service, the engine oil and filters are changed - cabin and oil. In 2021, such maintenance regulations correspond to the 2014 Toyota Rav 4.

When the car has reached 60,000 km and 70,000 km, repeat the first maintenance procedures.

Maintenance of Toyota RAV4 at 80 thousand kilometers is carried out as if for the fourth time. That is, with the replacement of brake fluid and filters. A clutch check is added to the list of maintenance works for a Toyota RAV 4 with a mileage of 80,000 km on “mechanics”.

For a Toyota RAV mileage of 4,100,000 km, maintenance includes the following list of works: changing the oil in the power unit, spark plugs and interior filter. Belts, fasteners, electrical networks, and other systems and components are checked. Every 100 thousand the fuel system is cleaned.

At 120,000 kilometers, the units in the automatic transmission are checked, spark plugs are changed, and the suspension and air conditioning system are diagnosed.

What happens if you don’t pass MOT on time?

The inspection certificate proves that the vehicle is in working order. Traffic police officers do not require maintenance certificates, and there is no punishment from road inspectors in Russia.

But if you ignore the procedure, the new car will be removed from the warranty. Another nuisance is that they do not issue a compulsory motor liability insurance policy without maintenance. You cannot drive without insurance, the fine will be 5 thousand rubles. And in the event of an accident, the car owner himself will pay for the repair of his and other people’s vehicles.

Drivers are given 10 days to undergo a technical inspection when the old one has expired. Further, the owners assume all responsibility.
