Toyota maintenance tips for Kenya

• Change oil every 5,000 km (not 10,000) — Kenyan dust and heat are harsh.
• Use genuine or OEM oil filters — cheap filters damage engines.
• Check timing belt/chain service intervals — a snapped belt destroys the engine.
• Keep service records — they directly affect resale value.
