Pick your vehicle and enter your mileage. The full schedule is listed further down this page.

A car maintenance schedule, from the source

A car maintenance schedule is the list of services your manufacturer says the car needs, set against mileage and time. This site turns those official guides into something you can search by make, model, year and mileage. Instead of scrolling a 60 page warranty booklet, you enter your mileage and see the services at your last milestone, what comes next and how far away it is.

Every interval comes from a manufacturer document that is linked on the page. Nothing is estimated and nothing is filled in from a generic table. If we have not read the guide for a model, that model is not here yet.

How to use the maintenance schedule by mileage

Pick your make, model and year, then type your current mileage. If the guide has separate items for AWD or 4WD models you will get a drivetrain choice. The result shows the last milestone you passed with everything listed for it, then the next milestone and the number of miles until it. If a service was not done at that milestone, it is due now.

Below each result you can switch on the severe-use extras. These are the extra services the manufacturer lists for hard driving, and they are covered in the section after next. Each model has its own page with the full table, so you can read the whole schedule top to bottom instead of one mileage at a time.

What a factory schedule contains

Schedules differ, but the pattern is consistent. Some things repeat at every visit: checking fluid levels, inspecting wiper blades, rotating the tires and looking at the brakes. Oil and filter changes come at a longer repeat. In Toyota's 2024 RAV4 guide the oil and filter change is every 10,000 miles or 12 months, while tire rotation is every 5,000 miles or 6 months.

Then come the filters and the slow-moving items. The same guide replaces the cabin air filter every 30,000 miles or 36 months, and the engine air filter on the same cycle. Spark plugs are at 120,000 miles (144 months). Engine coolant is every 50,000 miles or 60 months, first at 100,000 miles. Around every 15,000 miles a longer inspection list appears, covering ball joints, brake lines, driveshaft boots, steering, exhaust, radiator and more.

Milestones are not all equal. A 5,000 mile visit is light. A 30,000 or 60,000 mile visit is the heavy one, with the most replacement items and the longest inspection list. That is why knowing your mileage matters more than knowing the calendar date of your last oil change.

Normal versus severe driving

Toyota's guides print a second list for special operating conditions: dirt or dusty roads, towing or heavy loads, repeated short trips in freezing weather, and extensive idling or low-speed driving. These extras mostly bring the oil change forward to every 5,000 miles, and add things like tightening chassis bolts, inspecting ball joints, and changing differential or transmission fluid sooner when towing.

The guides are clear that you follow the extra list only if most of your driving matches a condition. Occasional dirt roads or one trip with a trailer do not count. Each model page shows the extras inside a collapsible row under the mileage they belong to, so the normal schedule stays readable.

Honda Maintenance Minder codes

Honda works differently. Its newer models do not print a mileage table. The Maintenance Minder estimates remaining oil life from how the engine is actually used and shows a code when service is due. A code is a main item, A or B, plus sub items. A is an oil change. B is an oil and filter change with an inspection list. The digits add a tire rotation, filters, transmission fluid, spark plugs, coolant or brake fluid.

That is why you will see codes like B12 and A1 and wonder what they cover. Our Honda Maintenance Minder codes page decodes any code from Honda's own tables, and there is a page for the 14 most common combinations.

What is covered today

We add schedules one guide at a time, because each one is read from the model's own document and checked against it. Today that means:

Or browse by make: Toyota, Honda and Subaru. Each page states the model year it follows, because manufacturers rewrite these guides between years and an older or newer car can differ.

Miles or months, whichever comes first

Almost every manufacturer gives both a mileage and a time limit. Follow whichever arrives first. Toyota's own example: if you have driven less than 5,000 miles at six months, get the maintenance at six months rather than waiting. Low-mileage cars age even when they do not travel, and fluids and rubber do not care about the odometer.

Use it as a reference, then check the booklet

This is a reference. The document in your glovebox is the authority for your exact car, engine and year, and your warranty terms decide what a missed service means. Keep records of what was done and when. If you find a number here that disagrees with your booklet, tell us and we will check it against the source.

Frequently asked questions

What is a car maintenance schedule?

A car maintenance schedule is the manufacturer's list of services and inspections, set against mileage and time. It tells you when to change fluids and filters, rotate tires, replace spark plugs and inspect brakes, steering and suspension. The most reliable version is the one in your owner's manual or warranty booklet for your exact model year.

How often should I service my car?

It depends on the manufacturer. The Toyota guides used here recommend maintenance every 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first, and Subaru's booklet uses 6,000 miles or 6 months. Honda uses a Maintenance Minder that calculates oil life and shows a code when service is due, and says to change the oil every year if no message appears within 12 months of a reset.

What maintenance is needed at 30,000 miles?

In Toyota's 2024 RAV4 guide, the 30,000 mile visit replaces engine oil and filter, cabin air filter, engine air filter and transfer case oil, and adds a full inspection list. The 2024 Corolla guide replaces engine oil and filter, cabin air filter and engine air filter. Honda has no fixed 30,000 mile visit; its codes depend on oil life.

What maintenance is needed at 60,000 miles?

The 2024 RAV4 guide replaces engine oil and filter, cabin air filter, engine air filter and transfer case oil at 60,000 miles and starts drive belt inspections. The Corolla guide replaces engine oil and filter, cabin air filter and engine air filter. Automatic transmission fluid is only listed for replacement there under towing or heavy idling.

What maintenance is needed at 100,000 miles?

The 100,000 mile visit is where Toyota's RAV4 and Corolla guides first replace engine coolant, then again every 50,000 miles. Oil, tire rotation and inspections continue as at every earlier visit. The RAV4 guide lists engine oil and filter and engine coolant at 100,000.

How often should I change my oil?

Toyota's 2024 RAV4 guide lists an oil and filter change every 10,000 miles or 12 months, and every 5,000 miles under severe use. Honda's Maintenance Minder decides based on how the engine has been used. Always check your own owner's manual, because it varies by engine and year.

What counts as severe driving?

Toyota's guides list four conditions: dirt or dusty roads, towing or heavy loads or a roof carrier, repeated short trips in freezing weather, and extensive idling or low-speed driving such as police, taxi or delivery use. The guides say to follow the extra services only if most of your driving matches, not for occasional use.

What do Honda Maintenance Minder codes mean?

A code is main item A or B plus sub item digits. A replaces the engine oil. B replaces the oil and filter and adds inspections. The digits add tire rotation (1), air cleaner and cabin filters (2), transmission fluid (3), spark plugs (4), coolant (5), rear differential fluid (6) and brake fluid (7).

What does Honda B12 service mean?

B12 is main item B plus sub items 1 and 2: replace the engine oil and oil filter, inspect the brakes and other listed items, rotate the tires, replace the air cleaner element and the dust and pollen filter, and inspect the drive belt.

What is the difference between miles and months?

Manufacturers give both and say to follow whichever comes first. If you drive little, the months limit applies. Toyota gives the example that if you have driven less than 5,000 miles at six months, you should still obtain maintenance at six months.

Are these schedules from the manufacturer?

Yes. Each page is taken from the manufacturer's own warranty and maintenance guide or owner's manual, and links to that document. We do not estimate or fill gaps from generic tables.

Which cars are covered?

Right now: Honda CR-V, Honda Accord, Honda Civic, Honda HR-V, Honda Pilot, Subaru Outback, Subaru Forester, Subaru Crosstrek, Toyota RAV4, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Camry, Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Highlander, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Tundra. We add models one guide at a time, because each schedule is read from that model's own document rather than generated.

Can I get my car serviced somewhere other than the dealer?

Toyota's guide recommends its dealerships. Honda's guide says maintenance, replacement or repair of emissions control devices may be done by any repair establishment using parts certified to EPA standards on U.S. models. Your warranty terms decide what a missed or third-party service means, so read the warranty booklet.

Is the hybrid schedule the same?

Not necessarily. Hybrids have their own guides. This site currently covers the gas models only, and each page says which variant it follows.
