I got a used 2001 Highlander Limited Edition V6 AWD at 85,000 km (53,000 miles). I plan to manage and do scheduled checks and maintenance myself.
I plan to follow the Toyota scheduled maintenance and I don't understand the meaning of the number of months and the mileage intervals.
According to Toyotaowners.com:
2001 Highlander
52,500 Miles - 42 Months
-Replace Oil & Filter
-Rotate Tires
Should I follow the Mileage or the Time in Months? Is this a "whichever comes first" schedule? In my case, I have about 53,000 miles and the car is already about 7 years old (84 months). Should I follow the 84 months or the 52,500 mileage? This car was well maintained by the previous owner by regularly bringing it to the dealer.
How do I plan my maintenance sched?
