Have to change air filters every 30000 mi. Perhaps transmission fluid also, but inspect the condition first.

I had an iso of the repair manual but recently deleted it since I'm getting rid of the car soon. I know some posted iso's about 8 months ago the repair manuals for a number of Toyotas in the hybrid camry section. I don't know if it would still be available, but you could try doing a search over there. There are also a few different posts with detailed instructions for the V6 oil change, and probably the I4 as well. If you have the V6, search under Avalon, too. Good luck, I wouldn't want the dealer to waste anyone's gay.

Your car comes with a maintenance guide.

Don't worry about wasting your gay, you probably have plently.

Do people buy microwaves and such and post on the internet how to use it instead of reading the material that comes with it?

How do people afford to buy cars when they have no logic or common sense?

Amazing...

They can't...just like how so many people bought homes they could never afford. They just listened to the salesman who convinced them they could afford it. I was reading on another board about some guy who bought a Sequoia but had to get a 7 year loan on the car at something like 8% APR to get it... They are just too ignorant to read anything written like how much interest they'd have to pay for the car. If you have to get a 7 year loan for a car, you can't afford that shit - you'll be upside down on the loan in no time.

84moths @ 8%, LOFL.

As far as housing, especially here in Cali, it is a shame the Government had to get involved to help those who were too stupid. I mean, even if you built hundreds of thousands in "natural" equity, they were not able to afford the financed amount for a fixed rate over 30 years. They had to have this house that they could afford only on a fixed rate for a short amount of time. I am glad I kept and refied my home at prime for 30 years instead of "stepping up" to a much larger house at the time. I would be upside down a few 100K or would be losing my home. I am not one for speculation, let alone making long term decisions based on so many variables... I am too calculated I guess. "You should really get this house for 500K. I can get you a stunner rate for the next few years. By then this place will be worth 100-150K more!". "What if the market is not good when it is time to refinance? What if costs go down and interest rates go up?". "At this rate, that will not happen. You should act fast". Funny story, the guy that tried to sell me that shitty 5 yr fixed loan, which I did not buy, lost his 600K house, his Audi and his dignity. He is now trying to rent a room from a friend of mine. Greed is a bitch.

Sorry to thread jack...

To the OP, there is maintenance guide in your owner's manual. Everything is outlined by mileage.

yeah, bad times, risky decisions all around. But ARM's are not always a bad decision - many of use move every few years due to our jobs and based on that it does not make too much sense to sign up for a 30year fixed. What many people also forgot is to research the many kinds of ARM's - aka limited rate increase/annum after the initial term with a lifetime max limit is a must! Often people did not think about that - my experience. Also, these housing situation is just new to Americans - pretty standard in many other parts of the world where you even can't get long term fixed mortgages, and housing markets swing all the time...no banks their take that risk and only offer max 5-7 years fixed. Anyway, interesting topic (often more interesting than doing a Camry mod) - but waaaay out of topic here. People need to plan more carefully - cars, houses, credit cards, vacations etc etc.
