Hi there,

I have a 99 toyota corolla with about 102,000 miles. I did oil change at about 98,000 miles at a toyota dealer. Since now the car has passed 100k miles, I'm just wondering what service should be done on it except for the regular oil change. Thank you.

P.S. I don't have the repair manual.

you can probably download an owner's manual from somewhere online

you can for fords anyway.

found it:

i think that is supposed to say "80 Months"

My dad has a 99 Corolla, and honestly, he doesn't take care of it well and it still runs fine. It's got 145k on it. It has some minor oil leak, but the only thing that ever went wrong with it really was plugs and wires went bad causing a check engine light (b/c he didn't get them replaced on time) and a misfire. He still has the original water pump, timing chain, alternator, and starter, and A/C blows relatively cold.

So I'd just say get all the fluids serviced (coolant, oil, tranny if your service manager recommends that given your vehicle's history of transmission service) and change plugs and wires and you're good to go.

timing chain on my toyota should be replaced every 120k

it is a wear item, believe it or not

whoa. if it has to be replaced as often as a belt, why use a chain?
