Hi, I've hit 100,000 miles on my toyota re-certified 2013 Corolla S purchased in 2015 with 30,000 miles on it.
I have always changed the oil at 10,000 miles (and had blackstone oil labs do a baseline test on it when I purchased it and just had another test done and all looks good with the engine oil tests).
The cabin and air filters are changed every 30,000 miles.
Tires have always had their 5000 mile rotate and balance.
The local Toyota dealer will do the maintenance; they generally don't bullshit me since I've been taking toyota's there for 30 years; but any advice would be helpful.
I know I need a new battery as it is testing low now; any recommendations on a battery I can purchase with good cold cracking amps for cold Colorado winters? This I can replace myself.
Is it necessary to do a radiator flush?
Has a timing chain, not belt, so I think I'm good there.
What about serpentine belt replacement, or in general all belt replacement? I'm generally in a lot of remote areas where I don't want to mess with a belt breaking. Visually belts look snug and OK right now.
Has automatic transmission; am I wrong that they should just leave this alone?
Front brake rotors & pads replaced at 50,000 miles (not resurfaced, new). Nothing else done with front or rear brakes.
I keep my vehicles forever; so want to do necessary maintenance to keep it running smooth; but don't want the repair shop ripping me off.
Thanks for any thoughts!
