2017 Toyota 86 maintenance schedule

Applies to: All 2017 Toyota 86 models (2.0L 4-cylinder), manual or automatic; automatic-only items are marked

Schedule type: fixed

The 2017 Toyota 86 guide (the former Scion FR-S) uses a fixed schedule built on 7,500-mile or 7.5-month visits, whichever comes first, laid out in a table through 90,000 miles; after that Toyota says to keep repeating the same intervals. Every visit includes an engine oil and filter change, a tire rotation, a wiper blade check and a driver's floor-mat check. Unlike most Toyotas of this era, there is no 5,000-mile visit. Summarized in our own words from the source listed. Always follow the owner's manual or your dealer for your specific vehicle (VIN, engine, and options).

Checked against the official document for model year 2017; other years in this range are assumed to follow it. Confirm in your owner's manual.

Severe service usually means: Toyota lists severe conditions item by item. Repeated short-distance driving or driving in extremely cold weather: replace engine oil and filter every 3,750 miles or 3.75 months. High-humidity or mountainous areas: replace brake fluid every 15,000 miles or 15 months. Road salt or other corrosive materials, coastal areas, rough or muddy roads, repeated short trips or extremely cold weather (depending on the item): inspect brake pads and discs, brake lines and hoses, parking brake linings, fuel lines and fuel tank band, drive shaft boots, steering gear and suspension ball joints every 7,500 miles or 7.5 months. On dirt or dusty roads, tighten chassis bolts and nuts and inspect the engine air filter, drive shaft boots, steering gear and ball joints at every 7,500-mile visit, and replace the engine air filter more often in extremely dusty conditions. The fuel filter may need replacing more often in extremely hot or cold weather. Toyota says these extras are only needed if you drive primarily under those conditions.
