3.0Ltr Diesel service costs.

[ozzig]

As mentioned before I'm looking at getting a 3rd Gen (1996 N/P) 3.0l diesel when my company car goes back in January.

I'll be doing about 25k per annum, and need to show the vehicle is being professionally maintained. i.e. The car allowance agreement does not approve of me not getting to a customers because I broke something myself

So can any 3rd Gen owners out there give me ideas of service intervals & costs from dealers / local garages ?

I am assuming an oil/filter change about every 6k, but not sure what's done at 12k / 24k, don't want to look likea right nelly by going to Toyota dealer and asking without info.

Thanks in advance, and watch out for more dumb questions to follow (I promise I'll search & FAQ first)

Cheers Andy.

So basically something happens every 6k - and oil swapped every 3k.

So I'd be looking at 8 garage visits per year 4 oil only, 2 minor and 2 major (well more expensive anyway !)

I'm estimating some 80/20 tyres being about 60-70 per corner - what mileage do the tyres typically do when mostly motorway'd ?
