Well said! Sorry its an old reply, but I am coming up to my 40K on 8 gen civic, and wondering what must be changed? does the automatic gear box fluid needs to be changed? I a e60 530D BMW I had a couple of years, I was informed the gear box is sealed for life and fluid does not need to be changed for life!! how come hondas want to change it so often? A money making scheme or real need?

Comparing German engineering with Jappy hehe. Noticed some Mercs have the steering more towards the dashboard and the pedals more tilted to the right? It's there, for an unknown reason lol.

Follow the manual of your car if you do not have one, visit the nearest 3S and do what is needed if you want to keep your ride trouble free.

Transmission oil whether manual or auto has to changed at 40 K periodic maintenance. I used to change my Khyber's transmission oil and mistry logs would say just top up, but it is always better to change the fluid as it keeps the gearbox smooth and contributes to better fuel economy in the long run.

You are correct, You don't have to blindly follow , Just seeUer Manual and keep on maintenance it will be distributed and wont cost you much, following all the above blindly is totally insane

If the Damn Corolla requires so much maintainance at 80k who says its cheap to maintain?

It's a tough car and can last without these maintenance for 100,00s of kms and most people in Pakistan do not go beyond "aile and filtoor".

But

If you want to eliminate the chances of a sudden break down when you are in the middle of something and get maximum fuel economy and driving pleasure and save you from a bigger expenditure down the road, it's better to do all the regular maintenance tasks.

Look at the Hub&bearing replacement cost.... now this is outrageous.

[qwertypoiu]

18k for one total 36 for 2.. I have gotten front ones changed less then a year back and I dont exactly remember it being this expensive

[syncview]

who replaces the hub / bearing / most of what is on that list on 80k??

[COOLTAHIR]

I done my 80k checkup on my corolla 2007 and it cost about 50k

[syncview]

umm.. that is insane is all i can say.

[qwertypoiu]

its an ongoing thread, 158,000km driven...

[syncview]

ok still that is nothing.

unless they were fked up for some reason

They were making loud sound on motorway hence needed change

[mediumben]

I am thinking of taking my 2005 corolla to the 3S toyota near airport for engine tuning and timing chain checkup. What should be the cost?

[qwertypoiu]

Which corolla is it ? Mileage?

[arzaam.bhatti]

@qwertypoiu why are they charing for a new hub thats 14k if i remember correctly on its own, bearings should be available seperately and for me they only changed front bearings which ousted around 4k not the whole hub. and are you sure its rear bearings? put the car on the lift and put in drive and get it 80-100km/h with wheels off the ground if you dont hear a noise that means your rear bearings are bad, its rear for rear bearings to go bad this soon mostly its the fronts.

if the rear bearings have infact gone bad and they are only available as part of a new hub and not separately then you have no other choice. plus driving with bad bearings is dangerous and you should get this fixed soon.

if it makes you feel any better one hub with bearings for my w203 is 27k.
