MAINTENANCE
MAINTAINING YOUR WARRANTY
IMPORTANT MAINTENANCE  
INFORMATION
It is especially important to both  
routinely check your vehicle’s engine  
oil level (once a month) and regularly  
replace the engine oil and oil filter  
(see the Maintenance Log section of  
this booklet to determine how often  
you should change your vehicle’s oil  
and filter). Failure to do so can cause  
oil starvation and/or oil gelling, which  
can result in severe damage to your  
vehicle and require costly repairs that  
are not covered by the New Vehicle  
Limited Warranty.
Maintenance Records
Maintaining your vehicle according to  
the recommendations in this booklet is  
required to ensure that your warranty 
coverage remains intact. You should keep 
detailed records of vehicle maintenance, 
including date of service, mileage at time  
of service and a description of service  
and/or parts installation performed. The 
scheduled maintenance log in this booklet  
can help you document this information. If 
you sell your vehicle, be sure to give your 
maintenance records to the new owner. 
Toyota will not deny a warranty claim  
solely because you do not have records  
to show that you maintained your vehicle.  
However, damage or failure caused by lack  
of proper maintenance is not covered  
under warranty.
  
 
Maintenance Providers 
Maintenance and repair services may be  
performed by you or by any automotive 
service provider you choose. Toyota will  
not deny a warranty claim solely because  
you used a service provider other than a 
Toyota dealership for maintenance and 
repairs. However, damage or failure  
caused by improper maintenance or  
repairs is not covered under warranty.
Dealer-Recommended  
Maintenance
Your dealer may recommend more  
frequent maintenance intervals or more  
maintenance services than those listed in  
the scheduled maintenance log. These 
additional services are not required to 
maintain your warranty coverage. Ask  
your dealer to explain any recommended 
maintenance not included in the scheduled 
maintenance log.
For a complete description of Toyota 
warranty coverages, see the Warranty 
Information portion of this booklet.
