20k maintenance

I have 20,000 miles on my 08 Corolla S. I was wondering what I should do for my 20k maintenance. I know some of the newer cars don't have a fuel filter does this one? I have been good about changing the oil/rotating the tires. Any suggestions?

At 20k pretty much all you need to do is keep up with the oil changes. I have 41k on my 2005 Corolla the only thing I have done was oil changes and two front tires. I suggest maybe to check the condition of the air filter but that about all for the 20k mark.

On my 05 LE I have changed the oil continuously.
February (08) i had two of my front two wheels and tires replaced under warranty.
March (08) i had the alignment done as well as replaced the air filter.

Basically i recommend rotating the tires every time the oil is changed. That way your tires will wear evenly and thus will maximize life. I neglected to do that at first and that is why i had to get them replaced. But i have learned from my mistakes.

Your maintenace guide that came with the car from Toyota will tell you what to do and when, and you should review it. Basically, nothing at 20,000 except probably replace the cabin air filter and check the engine air filter. No, the Corolla does not require changing the fuel filter, and has not beginning with the 1998 model year. They do have a fuel filter, and it is accessible by removing the rear seat, but you don't have to check it or replace it.
