Anything special to do for a Camry at the 100k mile mark?
Dear Car Talk | Mar 01, 1993
Dear Tom and Ray:
Joyce
TOM: Not really, Joyce. We've seen plenty of Camrys go past 100,000 miles. We've seen 'em go to 102,000...even 103,000.
RAY: Actually, Joyce, the one thing you should do is keep following the maintenance instructions in your owner's manual.
TOM: Most books have instructions that go though about 75,000 miles. So after 75,000 miles, most people figure that they don't have to do any more maintenance!
RAY: Either that, or the math is too complicated for them. But it really isn't that hard. Just put your car on a 60,000 mile cycle.
TOM: So when you get to 60,000, pretend you're starting at 0 again (except for anything having to do with break-in, of course). That means you should do the "30,000 Mile Service" at 90,000 miles, and the "60,000 Mile Service" at 120,000. Then, when you get to 150,000 miles...hey, Ray, would you mind taking off your socks for a minute?
