2014 PIP 100k Service

Hello,
I just did all of the above at 205k, I also included inverter coolant as well. Not sure it is really needed at 100k, it’s more a personal choice. I also changed the water pump and thermostat. Both we’re working fine.

 

Regarding:

1. Toyota says nothing about changing it. I would recommend around 10K miles or one year, then in maybe another 30K miles, and then really stretch it.

2. Toyota USA says nothing about changing; Toyota Canada says tri-yearly or 48K kms (30K miles).

3. Toyota USA says to change engine coolant at 100K or 10 years, and inverter coolant at 150K or 15 years. Then both thereafter every 50K miles or 5 years.

4. Toyota USA says every 10K miles or yearly.

5. Toyota says next to nothing; that it's fine till there's start-up issues and/or relevant warning lights and codes. My 2 cents: at 100K it's definitely time to clean, stem to stern. That entails the full EGR circuit plus the intake manifold, which has EGR passages.

 

Oil and filter changes, tire balance and rotations. If you are doing the work yourself it is affordable. I recommend coolants and transmission fluid at the same time and you only have to remove the under cover once which is probably the biggest inconvenience. Visual checks are important. Brake pads still had half or more left. What I did learn is check rotors before they warp and very important to grease the caliper pins. This will help with even wear. We have been blessed to have such great vehicles but my biggest fear was a water pump failure, over heating, blown head gasket and possible warped head. We travel 30k miles a year to and from work. I just felt it was time. I didn’t replace the water pump and thermostat on mine because it only has 180k with 90k being EV miles. Not a lot of engine miles. My wife’s had 150k on the engine and 50k EV. I do believe the egr cleaning should be done sooner than I did it. It makes it easier to clean and the car has more power. I did plugs at 100k, they still looked good.Hope this helps. I also agree with Mendel.
