Maintenance Log53

Drive Shaft Boots
Check the drive shaft boots and clamps
for cracks, deterioration and damage.
Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts
and, if necessary, repack the grease. A
qualified technician should perform these
operations.
Engine Air Filter
Inspect or replace at specified intervals.
When performing inspections, check for
damage, excessive wear and oiliness, and
replace if necessary.
Engine Coolant
Drain the cooling system and refill with an
ethylene-glycol type coolant. Inspect hoses
and connections for corrosion and leaks.
Tighten connections and replace parts
when necessary. A qualified technician
should perform these operations. (For
further details, refer toRadiator,
Condenser and Hosesin theVehicle
Maintenance and Caresection of the
Owner’s Manual).
Your Toyota is equipped with Genuine
Toyota Super Long-Life Coolant. The
replacement intervals for engine
coolant recommended in this booklet
are based on replacement with
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). If another type of
ethylene-glycol coolant is used,
replacement intervals may be different.
Engine Oil and Filter
Replace the oil filter and drain and refill
the engine oil at specified intervals. For
recommended oil grade and viscosity,
refer to the
Owner’s Manual.
Engine Valve Clearance
Inspect for tappet noise and engine
vibration and adjust if necessary. A
qualified technician should perform this
operation.
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 gas leakage.
Tighten connections or replace parts as
necessary.
