Fully aware of the EGR circuit issues... not sure if that is still a thing on the 2015's after the changes to the engine Toyota made (pistons/rings, etc)? What mileage do ya'll recommend cleaning the EGR? I've changed the transmission fluid around 95k miles, have a dealer app't for coolant changes, anything else I am missing?
100k at the latest, 50k thereafter, like the engine coolant change interval, if you want to synch. Coolant spill can be very controlled though; see second link in my signature. every 50k would be optimum. Yup.
A couple things...this is my maintenance schedule: Oil/Filter Every 6-months or 5,000 miles Air Filter As Needed (check every 6-months) Cabin Air Every 12-months (Charcoal) Radiator Coolant Every 5-years or 50,000 miles Hybrid Coolant Every 5-years or 50,000 miles CVT/AT Tranny Every 5-years or 50,000 miles Spark Plugs/PCV and PCV Valve Hose/ Radiator Cap / Gas cap Every 10-years/100,000 Miles Brake Fluid Flushed Every 4-years/50,000 miles Throttle Body Cleaned Every 25,000 Miles MAF Sensor Cleaned Every 25,000 Miles Tire Rotation Every 5,000 Miles
I've wondered if anyone has done a study to compare ICE engines with hybrid's with our numerous start/stop cycles...if that shortens the life of the engine by causing extra wear-and-tear. If it wasn't a Toyota engine, I'd be changing the oil every 3,000 miles (which is what I do for my kids non-Toyota vehicles.) I know the Ford engines that have the stop/start technology don't last nearly as long at Toyota's.
