Corolla Tsport First Service

[andrewcfm]

Hiya,

My girlfriends Corolla Tsport has just done over 2000 miles now since new - I think it's due for a first service? Is this the case or is it worth going later?

Cheers,

Andrew

Is the car 1 year old yet??? If not i would wait and save yourself some money! Perhaps a oil change if you want

Hello,

Mine's going in next week for its first service at 10000. It's supposed to

be a half service, the full service takes place at 20000 I think.

Haven't had any problems. We will see what the mechanic says about

the state of the car.

Cheers

Paul.

Toyota suggests that you change the oil after 1000-3000km just to make sure there aren´t any residues of metal in the engine when you start trashing it. I got it for free, but I guess thats just a matter of negotiation.

i swapped the oil in my yts after 1000 miles for Castrol magnatec, than that standard :censor: they put in it.

just to make sure, like kurtsi sez, there is no dung floating round thats come away from the brand new metal.

its your choice at the end of the day :D

That makes sense. Better to look after it than to abuse it.

If it's just an Oil Change why not buy the filter and sump plug washer and oil and do it yourself, a lot cheaper than Mr T and easy to do....

Thats so true mate. Better off keeping that hard earned cash in your own wallet than to give it to toyota mate
