My Corolla just reached 100,000 miles, and I’m looking to keep up with the recommended maintenance. The manual says to check the supplement, but I can’t find it anywhere. I’ve tried searching online but can’t get a clear answer on what’s due at 100,000 miles. Most of my miles are highway since I commute to work.
Does anyone know what all needs to be done? And about the ‘lifetime’ fluids—should I replace those?
Lifetime fluid usually means it lasts for the life of the vehicle, so Toyota doesn’t recommend servicing it. And actually, 100K isn’t considered a major service interval.

Oops, I should add—Toyota does recommend a coolant service at 100K miles.
The big things are changing the coolant (plus oil change and tire rotation). You might also consider changing your transmission fluid if it hasn’t been done since 60K.

But my car has a CVT with lifetime fluid. Should I leave it alone?
Toyota’s ‘lifetime’ means the life of the warranty, not the car. I’d recommend changing the CVT fluid. It’s a simple drain and fill, not a full flush (this comes from a Toyota service tech).
