    Unless I'm blind, you left out the most important piece of information : YOUR MILEAGE

    Follow the intervals recommended by Toyota - that's all you need.

    The cabin air filter most people don't know exists but I change mine every few months and my 06 with 300k still smells good inside. Sounds anal but.. Everytime I change it there's a world of difference
