Now is a good time to inspect your vehicle’s air conditioning unit—With summer right around the corner, now is the time to check for leaks. A trained technician can tell you if you require repair or a recharge to your vehicle’s air-cooling system. Keep in mind, too, that once the fall rolls around, you may want to consider having your heating unit checked as well, just to make sure it is in tip-top shape for chilly autumn nights.
The oil: This one should go without saying, but it's worth stressing!—Your engine’s oil should be checked regularly and changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles (check your owner’s manual for specific information concerning your make and model). If you prefer to go less frequently for oil changes, consider going with synthetic oil for your vehicle. For instance, with synthetic lubrication standard (SAE 0W-20) oil only needs to be changed once every 10,000 miles or so, or every year, depending on operating conditions.
Check those air filters for clogs and dirt—The air filter is an important component of your vehicle’s intake system and should be checked about once every six months. It’s through the air filter that your engine can “breathe” with the right mixture of air to support the fuel it takes to run. Keeping the filter clean is key, since it’s purpose is to filter out dirt and other debris that could otherwise damage the engine.
Don't forget, too, that Toyota and Scion plans include two years of 24-hour roadside assistance, which includes battery jumpstart, tire service, fuel delivery, lockout protection and towing.
