Toyota Repair: maintenance schedule for Toyota RAV4, toyota rav4, fuel injection service


Question
I have a 2003 Rav4 that is due for the 75000-mile service.  I call a couple of dealers who identified several items that need to be done.  Some of them are not in my service manual.  Should I just follow the service manual or should I follow the dealers' advice?

Thank you very much.

Answer
Some of the dealers seem to go a little overboard with their own "dealer recommendations" they want to sell you all kinds of flushes and stuff, besides the recommended service in the owner's manual the only thing I would recommend is a complete transmission flush at this mileage and if it's never been done maybe a fuel injection service, if they recommend anything else have them explain to you why it's needed. By the way, don't let them sell you any oil additives or coolant additives etc. A waste of money. Toyota doesn't recommend any of them.
