...timing belt replaced? When do you need it replaced?
I don't have the manual!!!
NVM about the timing belt the card doesn't have one!!!!

I just looked it up.
 
Lube Oil & Filter every 5,000 km is pretty typical, the timing belt should be done about every 100,000 km (km not miles) other than that you should be more or less alright if you don't hit anything. If you hop a curb you'll need an alignment and or parts for your suspention / steering. But cross that road when you come to it.
 
You DO have a timing belt. Read your owner's manual. Read the part about maintenance schedule. Also, read about the proper fluid specification section. You can extend the life of your timing belt by keeping your engine showroom clean (use power wash). Repair any oil leaks as they occur (watch once in a while). and by using ONLY Mobil One oil "designed for use in Toyots vehicles". Stay away from the big "V" and other regular dino based oils, they only decompose into varnish and sludge. WIth the Mobil One, you can change the oil every 1-2 years and save $$$$$. You will be doing your engine a favor, as well, by reducing friction, and prevernting oil seal leaks!!! If you have platinum plugs, only need changing every 80,000 miles. READ your MANUAL about SCHEDULE!!!!!!!! Good Luck!!
