Toyota LandCruiser: service intervals

Asked by Jason Gillies

Re comments on service intervals, particularly for the Toyota LandCruiser diesel. I think the car originally was intended to have 20,000km intervals — that’s how early service books were printed. I think oil consumption issues meant Toyota had to shorten intervals to ensure cars got oil and you will see Toyota stickers on interleaving 10,000km service pages. I think Toyota over-services for little reason.

I’ve done some digging and Toyota has always had 10,000km service intervals, which can be annoying despite value in the capped-price servicing. Company spokesman Mike Breen says if you have a “doctored” service book he would be keen to investigate for you.
