150K Suggested Maintenence

As per the maintenance schedule what is the recommend service for 150k interval on the 99 corolla. I am sorry and am asking because I dont have a service manual for my car.

Thank you in advance.

Well, ignition wise, you got that set. You already changed the PCV valve so you're set there too. I'd do the oil, obviously, and then if it has been a long time since you changed the coolant, I'd change that as well.

Check your brake fluid to see the condition of it, they sell testers at parts stores. You've already covered your brakes ... so check the drive-belt and make sure that is in good shape.

Thanks Donabed. If by drive-belt you mean the serpentine belt then I have already replaced that as well with a new gates micro v belt. The brake fluid looks clean. Since I bought the car used I dont know when the coolant was flushed. Can one visually inspect the coolant? Is there way to tell if dirty and needs flushing?

Thanks!

You can use a hydrometer to see if the specific gravity of the coolant is within specifications or not, but it won't tell you much about the anti-corrosion agents. I'd probably just flush it out. Chances are the previous owner hasn't bothered.
