Hi, I have a 2008 Toytota Corolla S type with 27k. At what intervals (in miles) should I change:
1. Transmission fluid
2. Fuel Filter
3. Air filter
4. get fuel injection service.

Also, there is a strange low volume whistle sound that comes from car when I reach 55mph to 57mph. Above or below that range I do not hear the sound. Any suggestions of what that could be?
Thanks, Charles

1) Automatic or manual?
2) No change interval (integral with the fuel pump).
3) I believe it's every 30,000 miles, check owner's manual.
4) Never.

Ddi you buy your car new? If so, there should be a maintenance book that came with your car. It has breakdowns for all PM through 100K miles plus.

I bought the car used at 20k. The transmission is automatic. Charles

Officially, there is no change interval for the automatic transmission fluid. I think most folks tend to change it earlier, at say 50k miles. It's kind of arbitrary though...whatever you feel comfortable with. Personally, I'd probably change it at either 50k miles or so...it seems that the Toyota fluid isn't all that robust, at least just from what I've read. As for the air filter, I don't recall exactly what the maintenance book says. I can check at home.
