Toyota Aurion Service Interval

[kenneth050881]

Hi Guys,

Apologies if this sounds stupid, im a toyota aurion newbie!

I serviced my car with Toyota in January for the first time, I think this was the 67500 service and it cost me $290. I just called them as I got a letter asking for me to go back as it had been 6 months and it was due for another service, 6 months sounds very soon to have another service?

Do you guys service your car every 6 months? Or can I wait a year?

Depends on how picky you are about your car and/or how much you travel.

You can be fine with your standard 15,000km/12 month services (whichever comes first), or you can choose to do the mid-major services in addition to that (every 7,500km/6 months). Some dealers tend to send out a letter/write on your service sticker to come back in 6 months/7,500km mainly just to sucker you in. An extra service for them is extra money for them.

Personally, I stick with the major services (as per the logbook) every 15,000km and do a mid-service oil and filter change every 7,500km. If you cover about 15,000km in a year, I'd personally consider changing your oil and filter at the half-way mark as well... but that's just a personal thing. Servicing every 15,000km/12 months isn't really going to cause any damage for a normally used Aurion.

To put things in perspective as well though, I still go by the 7,500km mid-service oil change even though I can cover 15,000km in as little as 3 months.

I usually take mine every 6 months/7500 km for the mid service along with major 15000 km service.

You should be fine with the normal 15000km/12 months service.

Im just a bit picky, that all.
