Maintenance Tips for High-Mileage Cars in Frankfort, KY
If you aren’t one to consistently lease your Toyota vehicles and prefer to keep them through thick and thin, the following pointers on how to maintain your high-mileage model should be one you can reference for a long while. We at Frankfort Toyota hope to learn useful information below, though if you ever have any questions that are within this scope or are related to something else, you can always reach out to us!
Oil Changes
It’s essential that your high-mileage Corolla or Camry, which is generally considered to be in the approximate range of over 80,000 miles, receives timely oil changes to keep its internal components healthy. While this means that you should still follow the intervals printed on your Owner’s Manual, it’s important to not let them lapse too long. This is because the metal parts that make up the engine bay are prone to seal leaks, corrosion, and other symptoms of natural wear and tear. Pivoting to an oil type that is specifically geared toward cars with high odometer readings is also helpful, they’re infused with additives that are beneficial for parts that are more susceptible to breaking down.
Transmission and Brake Fluid
Along with oil, your high-mileage Sienna’s transmission and brake fluid should also be regularly checked. Many vehicles with an automatic gearbox can typically go longer between assessments for the former fluid, with the general recommendation being around the 60,000-mile marker. After you’ve driven your model throughout Frankfort for many years, it may become filled with debris. A consequence of this poor fuel economy and even the occasional stalling between gear shifts while driving through the West Frankfort Connector. Brake fluid will also lose effectiveness over time because of the invitation of moisture to its reservoir. Though it’s typically encouraged that you get it evaluated around every 20,000 miles, give us a call if you’d like to know when it’s needed for your specific Toyota car.
Exterior Care
Similar to a home, a vehicle requires frequent polishing and cleaning to not only maintain a pristine appearance, but also to prevent the formation of build up that could damage its exterior. Taking your RAV4 to the local car wash on a regular basis helps keep the clear coat intact, which is one of the most effective ways to remove corrosion. Bird droppings that sometimes accumulate while your model is situated at Capitol View Park are laden with acid that could also eat away at the paint, which is why it’s important to keep spray and wash cloths handy in your trunk to remove them as promptly as possible. A thorough waxing and polishing every few months can strengthen the coating to make it more resistant to stains and sun damage as well as prolong its lustrous finish. Our team would be happy to give you more tips if you need them!
