So... I have a 2011 Toyota Sienna XL. Fairly low mileage at about 33,000 right now. We used the dealership for all scheduled maintenance through 25,000 miles (free). Since there are other service centers closer to us we elected to not continue to use the dealership moving forward for...

Used Car Maintenance Tips & Services Checklist When you own a used Toyota – or any vehicle, for that matter – it’s tempting to skip out on proper maintenance given the cost of regular checkups. But failing to maintain it could reduce your car’s lifespan and create higher bills in the future...

Does anyone have the "code" for shutting off the maintenance required lights? Also to shut off the seatbelt not buckled beeps? I had these for my 2008 but they don't work on my 2013. :D Thanks

Hello all, Pleasure to be here. My wife and I recently purchased a certified used 2011 Sienna CE, mostly Base. We love it! However, being as it is: "Base" we don't have many options.. That being said, we want to take a road trip with it and our kids this summer, and I was wondering what the...

Just bought 2005 Sienna with 115k from a family member. The Toyota dealer did the maintenance thru 80k, the last 35 k is sketchy. The timing belt and coolant flush was done around 80k. Aside from oil and filter, what other baseline maintenance should be done? Coolant flush transmission...

I'm looking to purchase a used Sienna with around 100k and will easily put another 100K on it. Obviously, I'd like to find one with the timing belt already changed, to save that expense, but that may not be an option. The other option is to go with a 2007+ which have a timing chain instead of...

I am considering going with an AWD model new Sienna for occasional runs to the snow. Has anyone experienced lower fuel economy, higher maintenance costs, or any problems with the AWD system? From everything I have read I don't notice any complaints.

4 weeks ago we bought a 2012 Sienna LE from a Toyota dealership. At the time it had 33,500 miles, which it accrued over 18 months as a rental car. I assume that just before we purchased it the van was fully serviced. My question is, is it possible that there is in fact maintenance to be...

Have 91K on the vehicle and was wondering at what mileage should I address changing the following fluids and belts which have not been previously changed. The owners maintenance manual does not state any of these should be changed at specific mileage intervals. No towing package on the vehicle...

Hi everyone. Glad to join the club. I'm picking up a 2007 Sienna AWD XLE Limited @ 105,000 miles. First year with the 3.5L 2GR-FE engine. No accidents. I have reconstructed some of the vehicle maintenance history. 1. I can see the 30k service was done. 2. I can see the oil cooler lines...

Bought our 2005 Sienna late this last summer and the "Maint Reqd" light is flashing. Car seems to be running fine but it is time for an oil change (just over the 3,000 mile mark). Is the computer programmed to set this off after a certain amount of miles to note time for an oil change or...

Hi all, I am new to the forum. Lots of great info here and seems to be a lot of nice folks. I have a 2009 Toyota Sienna front-wheel drive that we bought right at 30,000 miles. We now have approximately 80,000 miles (lots of highway driving, but some stop and go as well) on the van now and I...

I just have the 5k maintenance done by the dealer. It's part of the free maintenance covered by Toyota. Looks to me on the paper they only top off fluid and rotate tires. But I can clearly feel that engine sounds lower and smoother. I have the same feeling with my old SantaFe every time after a...

Hi everyone, Sorry to be a pest, but I'm hoping for a bit of guidance. I don't know the exact number of kilometers/miles on it, but we have stayed in a "normal" range throughout its life (abou 24k km/year) We have a bit of a long trip ahead of us and I want to make sure she is in good shape...

I'm coming up on my 30K recommended service on my 2011 Sienna LE and wanted to get some thoughts on the best place to take it? Dealer or Non-Dealer? I have a good auto shop that I trust that says they can do the factory scheduled maintenance, but I'm wondering since it's the 30K service if I...
