EXPLANATION OF MAINTENANCE ITEMS
MAINTENANCE
Scheduled Maintenance Log67
Brake Pads/Rotors and
Parking Brake Linings/Drums
Check brake pads and rotors for
excessive wear; check brake rotors
for runout. Check brake calipers for
fluid leakage. Check the parking
brake linings (shoes) and drums for
scoring, burning, fluid leakage, broken
parts and excessive wear. Some mod-
els are equipped with directional
rotors. When servicing these rotors,
reinstall at same location. A qualified
technician should perform these
operations. See inside front cover
for additional brake information.
Drive Belt
Inspect for cracks, excessive wear
and oiliness. Check the belt tension
and adjust if necessary. Replace the
belt if it is damaged.
Engine Air Filter
Check for damage, excessive wear
and oiliness. Replace if necessary.
Engine Coolant
When inspecting, visually check
the engine coolant level on the see-
through reservoir. Add coolant as necessary. When replacing, drain
and flush the cooling system and refill
with coolant. Always use Genuine
Toyota Super Long-Life Coolant or
similar high-quality non-silicate, non-
amine, non-borate ethylene-glycol
coolant with long-life hybrid organic
acid technology (i.e., a combination
of low phosphates and organic acids).
A qualified technician should per-
form these operations.
Note:
Initial replacement is at 120
months/100,000 miles. Replace
every 60 months/50,000 miles
thereafter.
Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Replace the oil filter and drain and
refill the engine oil at specified inter-
vals. For recommended oil grade
and viscosity, refer to your Owner’s
Manual . Some models are equipped
with a replaceable oil-filter element
and oil-filter cap O-ring; replace both
at each oil change. For instructions on
how to reset the reminder light, refer
to your Owner’s Manual .

Engine Valve Clearance (SC)
Inspect for excessive lifter noise and
engine vibration and adjust if neces-
sary. (All other models are equipped
with hydraulic valve lash adjusters that
require no periodic clearance inspec-
tion or adjustment.)
Exhaust Pipes and Mountings
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes,
muffler and hangers for cracks,
deterioration and damage. Start
the engine and listen carefully for
any exhaust leakage. Tighten connec-
tions and replace parts as necessary.
Fuel Lines and Connections, Fuel
Tank Band and Fuel Tank Vapor
Vent System Hoses
Visually inspect for corrosion, dam-
age, cracks, and loose or leaking
connections. Tighten connections
and replace parts as necessary.
Fuel Tank Cap Gasket
Visually inspect for cracks, deterio-
ration and damage and replace if
necessary.
Nuts and Bolts on Chassis
Check that tightness of the seat-
mounting bolts and front/rear suspen- sion-member retaining bolts matches
torque measurements specified in the
Repair Manual
.
Power Steering Fluid
When inspecting, visually check the
power steering fluid level on the see-
through reservoir. Add fluid as neces-
sary. For fluid specifications, refer to
your Owner's Manual .
Rack and Pinion Assembly
Inspect the rack and pinion assembly
for signs of leakage, damage and
loose electrical connections. Tighten
connections and if you discover any
leakage or damage, have it repaired
immediately by a qualified technician.
Road Test
While driving the vehicle, check for
proper operation of engine, transmis-
sion, brakes and steering. Also check
for abnormal noise or vibration from
any part of the vehicle.
Spark Plugs
Replace at specified interval. A quali-
fied technician should perform this
operation. To ensure optimum engine
performance on ES 350, replace only
with Denso FK20HR11 plugs or
equivalent.
