Service intervals: Key checkpoints for a healthier Toyota

Toyota cars, trucks and SUVs are consistently ranked among the most reliable vehicles on earth. To keep your Toyota performing at its best for you, it's important to schedule regular maintenance at New Holland Toyota in New Holland, PA. When you allow us to take care of vital factory-recommended services like an oil change and regular tire rotation, you lengthen the life of your Toyota. Here are examples of some significant service intervals.

At the first 5,000 miles or six months

Bringing your Toyota RAV4, Camry or Corolla to us for regular inspections allows us to keep an eye on your Toyota's wear-and-tear items, as well as your critical fluid levels like brake fluid and power steering fluid.

• Check and top off fluid levels
• Examine wiper blades
• Rotate your tires
• Inspect your brake pads and discs
• Inspect your brake linings and drums

At 10,000 miles or 12 months

If your Toyota is almost brand-new, this might be the first time you give it an oil and filter change. In the past, Toyota recommended an oil change about every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. But with today's more advanced synthetic motor oils, your Toyota can go longer between oil changes as you drive around Lancaster and Reading PA.

• Same services as the 5,000-mile checkpoint
• Provide an engine oil and filter change
• Replace your cabin air filter

At 15,000 miles or 18 months

The 15,000-mile mark is a more significant maintenance event that gives us a chance to examine a variety of important components on your Toyota 4Runner. When we can spot and fix trouble spots early, we help keep them from getting expensive for our customers from Ephrata and Lititz, PA.

• Same services as the 5,000-mile checkpoint
• Examine your ball joints and dust covers
• Inspect your drive shaft boots
• Inspect your exhaust pipes and mountings
• Inspect your engine coolant
• Inspect your steering gear
• Inspect your radiator and condenser
• Inspect your steering linkage and boots
• Inspect your rear differential oil and transfer case oil

At 20,000 miles or 24 months

This is basically a repeat of the 10,000-mile service interval. It's another opportunity to flush out the old engine oil in your Toyota Tacoma, Tundra or Highlander and fill it with fresh new lubrication.

• Same services as the 5,000-mile checkpoint
• Engine oil and filter change
• Replace your cabin air filter

At 25,000 miles or 30 months

This is the time for our customers in nearby Thorndale, PA to schedule the same services you received at the 5,000-mile checkpoint. It's the most basic level of factory-recommended maintenance for your Toyota Sienna or Prius.

At 30,000 miles or 36 months

This appointment includes the same services you received at the 15,000-mile maintenance stop and more, so it's a particularly significant service interval. Your Toyota Land Cruiser or Sequoia will benefit from fresh new engine oil, inspection of key functions and replacement of important components.

• Same services as the 15-mile checkpoint
• Replacement of your cabin's air filter
• Replacement of your engine oil and filter
• Inspection of your transmission
• Inspection of your fuel lines
