I'm wondering what the 5k and 10k maintenance that Toyota gives us involves. I'm away for the summer and won't be able to take it to my usual dealership and I'm getting close to 10k and missed my 5k except for the oil change. I decided that I should just do it all myself but I'm not sure what they do. I'm planning on doing another oil change (did my lat one at 4500 miles), transmission fluid, maybe seafoam? I'm also going to be replacing my pads and rotors. What else should I be doing at 10k?

 

do yo have the Schedule Maintenance booklet? It is in there.
10,000 Miles or 12 Months
❑ Replace engine oil and oil filter1
❑ Rotate tires
❑ Visually inspect brake linings/drums
and brake pads/discs
Additional Maintenance Items for
Special Operating Conditions2
Driving in desert or on dirt roads:
❑ Inspect ball joints and dust covers
❑ Inspect drive shaft boots
❑ Inspect engine air filter
❑ Inspect steering linkage and boots
❑ Tighten drive shaft bolt
❑ Tighten nuts and bolts on chassis
Driving while towing:
❑ Tighten nuts and bolts on chassis

for 10k, i just rotate tires and change oil and filter.

 

Why are you replacing your pads and rotors at this mileage? Other than a oil change and a tire rotation and a visual inspection there is nothing else you should really do.

 

I'm getting an extreme amount of brake dust (Little piles of dust half an inch high on my rims after about a week) and the brakes come in VERY late when I press the pedal. In an emergency situation, I don't think it would be very safe so I'm changing pads for sure. Rotors, I just read somewhere else on here that you can change them with the pads.

Pads are pretty worn from weekly canyon runs up GMR/Azusa/other mountain roads in SoCal for the past 4 months. I don't really abuse them or anything though. I've never done burnouts or anything of the sorts, I just brake late and hard on the canyons.

Also, I have uni-directional tires, just changing the front to back is sufficient for tire rotation right?
