The 200-series Land Cruiser is built to outlast its owner — but only if you service it for Kenyan conditions, not Tokyo boulevards. ## Oil every 7,500 km Toyota specifies 10,000 km intervals. In dusty upcountry service, drop that to 7,500 km with a full-synthetic 5W-30 and an OEM filter. Sludge in the VVT actuator is the number-one failure we see in trade-ins. ## Air filter every 15,000 km Double it in Turkana or the Rift. A K&N-style reusable filter is tempting but often over-oiled — stick to OEM paper and rotate more often. ## Coolant every 60,000 km Toyota Super Long Life Coolant only. Green universal coolant reacts with the aluminium heads over time. ## Front diff and transfer case 40,000 km. Non-negotiable if you tow. ## The one thing everyone skips Brake fluid every 24 months, hygroscopic or not. On Mount Kenya descents, boiled brake fluid ends more Land Cruisers than accidents do. Owner-serviced trucks fetch 8–12% more at trade-in when the logbook is clean. It genuinely pays.
