Service Intervals
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 5,000 miles (8,000 km) or 6 months, whichever comes first. Refer to manual for specific recommendations based on driving conditions.
Timing Belt Replacement Interval:
This generation of Celica uses a timing chain on the 1ZZ-FE engine and a timing chain on the 2ZZ-GE engine, thus generally not requiring periodic replacement like a belt. However, inspection for wear and tensioner function is recommended periodically, as detailed in the manual.

SAE 5W-30 is commonly recommended for both engines. API Service SN or higher. Consult the manual for exact capacity and API classification.
Coolant:
Toyota Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC) or equivalent prediluted ethylene glycol-based coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology. Capacity approximately 6.0-7.0 liters.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 3 or DOT 4. Always use fresh, sealed fluid.
Known Issues
Oil Consumption 1Zz Fe:
Some early 1ZZ-FE engines experienced oil consumption issues due to piston ring design. This manual will detail inspection and potential remedies.
Vvt System 2Zz Ge:
The VVTL-i system on the 2ZZ-GE can be sensitive to oil quality and level, potentially leading to issues if not maintained properly. The manual covers specific maintenance and troubleshooting.
Interior Rattles:
Like many vehicles from this era with extensive plastic interior trim, some owners reported minor interior rattles and squeaks that the manual can help diagnose.
