Conflicting maintenance schedules between physical manual vs online
Here's Toyota's online recommended maintenance schedule:
https://www.toyota.com/owners/parts-...nance-schedule One thing that is very interesting is the fact that the online version DOES NOT mention time intervals for normal driving. It's only the 7,500 mile interval. However, the physical maintenance guide that came with my car says 7,500 miles or 7.5 months, whichever comes first. So...which maintenance schedule should we really be looking at? Last edited by tzhu07; 04-22-2020 at 05:24 PM. |

how much extra money do you have to burn?
do you have a good lawyer if you follow the more lax version and something happens?

I'm going to contact Toyota about this and see if they give me a straight answer. I'll post the reply in this thread if I get one.

The schedule required to meet warranty conditions is 7,500 miles or 7.5 months, whichever comes first in the manual although the numbers are different for most Toyotas the website says the same. What is the recommended Toyota service schedule for your car, truck or SUV? In most cases, Toyota recommends that Toyota owners schedule a service appointment every six months or 5000 miles, whichever comes first.

The implication was that if they used the lesser of the services and the engine failed then warranty would be denied and the services of a lawyer would be required.

It's both. Back in the day the rule of thumb was "Change your oil every 3 months or 3K miles, which ever comes first.
