Do I need to do a tuneup? by debbie68

I have a 2000 Camry. Has a rattle under the dash and the brake light comes on in cold mornings, but otherwise fine. My last tuneup was at 68,758 miles, in March 2007. I am now at 85,000 as of today, 10/3/08. Changed the tranny and coolant fluids in Jan 2008. My mileage is terrific. Do I need a tuneup at 85K, or should I wait? If I wait, for how long?
 
Thank you.

Your owners manual, tells you what maintenance needs to be done on what mileage basis.
 
When you say 'tune up', do you mean oil change? You certainly shouldn't be doing engine tuneups on 15K mile intervals.
 
Did you get anybody to check out your brakes?

Hi. The manual did not say "tune up" it just makes suggestions about things to check every 5,000 miles or so. I don't know the last time my brakes were looked at, have not changed my air filter since 68,758.
 
How frequent should the tuneup be?

Do you have an owners manual? Usually in the glove compartment..............
 
Can send one softcopy, if need be.

Yes, I do. I will doublecheck it, but all I saw were the 5,000 mile recommendations.

With the owners manual, should be a document called scheduled maintenance guide.
 
It also has the maintenance to be done, at different mileage marks, (like 80K, 100K, etc)

Thank you for the offer to send a manual along. I am having a heck of a time figuring out when to have the car looked over (exhaust, air filter, brakes) versus needing to do an overall tuneup. I appreciate any advice.

Kiawah, I have an Owner's Manual. It is in front of me. Can you advise on when to schedule a maintenance check? The manual does not say what to do.
