1996 Toyota Corolla Maintenance Schedule

You want your Toyota Corolla to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Corolla. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Corolla, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1996 Toyota Corolla maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Toyota themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Corolla's life, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1996 Toyota Corolla problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1996 Toyota Corolla and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Corolla. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 1996 Toyota Corolla be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Toyota Corolla battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Corolla stranded. Your Toyota Corolla could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1996 Toyota Corolla running newer, longer.
