My PiP 2013 is getting close to 30K. What is expected off this service? I prefer to avoid going to the dealer. Am I really required to go to the Dealer?
no, it's simple service almost anyone can do. oil and filter change, rotate tyres, check fluid levels, inspect brakes and etc., check/clean/replace cabin and air filters. it's all in your o/m, and it doesn't get anymore complicated until 100k, when you replace all the fluids. btw, some people like to replace the tranny fluid, toyota calls it 'lifetime', your call.
Many thanks for the details. I've checked the filters, those are new(looks like the dealer got them changed before selling). An Oil change is scheduled around now anyways. I guess I will get the tires rotated beyond that. I will follow the master for the rest .. )
An option is come to the next meetup and we can help you out: Possible Monthly install meets. Bay Area-Fremont Keep us posted.
hmmm... why didn't i think of that? we had one of our 6 annual perfect cali days today. best july fourth weather in boston history. clear, dry, 81 degrees.
At least it takes you 2 hands to count the days on. Our challenge out here is to keep the days not ideal to be on one hand.

That's a generic dealership schedule. That said it's not bad. But I mean: it's talking about checking the differential fluid, that's 4WD stuff. It's all in the Toyota booklet Warranty and Maintenance Guide. If you're missing it you can download from Toyota Techininfo. Google that, go to the hit, and click on the "manuals" tab. Fill in your car info and search: you can download pdf. I cobbled together a spreadsheet of 3rd gen US schedule, sometime back. As far as I know the PIP is the same schedule. My motivation: the service interval by service interval format of the US schedule is horrible: impossible to determine patterns/frequencies. Besides what's in the schedule, there's a few extras that are worth considering: brake fluid change and transaxle fluid change. Don't infer all of this stuff is necessary, this is just a summary of the official guide. A lot of it is, but some of the "inspections" I breeze by.
Update: Printed the recommended service items, along with the last serviced items to my local preferred mechanic. Found that the air filters were changed recently 5K miles back. So, Toy full synthetic oil change and other fluids top off totaled $65.
Thanks for the guide, this helps. My 2013 is at 158k and I'm still on the original brake pads (!). Looks like I'll need to do a couple things like change the inverter coolant. Do you happen to have an extended guide or should one just loop back around to the beginning for cars >120k?
I'm not sure, but suspect there's a loop proviso in there, as you describe. A lot of its repeating regularly.
