Is It Advisable To Travel With A Vehicle A Day After Servicing It? by donogaga(op): 10:46pm On Apr 15, 2018
I intend travelling with a Toyota corolla 2012 Model for a 7 hours trip... Now, is it advisable to travel with it just a day after servicing it?

For example, let's assume it was serviced on a Friday and the next day which is on a Saturday I commence the trip. Is it safe? And again, what is the best recommended oil to service a Toyota corolla 2012 Model? Thanks for your kind assistance.

If it was a basic change oil, filter, plugs etc etc, it's safe.... (done by a competent hand).....

On the other hand, if you had major surgical intervention, I would advise against (best to drive intercity and ensure all the bones and blood was properly applied).....

it is better to drive it around for 3days before traveling. TO BE SURE OF NO OIL LEAKAGES AND EVERYTHING. IN TACT

If the service is basic oil & filter replacement, you can travel almost immediately after the oil change. There's no effect or problem.

Pls ensure you use good quality filter & the recommended engine oil. Nothing to be afraid of here.

You can travel immediately if it was basic service of plugs, oil, oil filter and air filter

However... Check the following before setting out
- tyres
- serpentine belt pulley bearings. If any of your pulley bearings are noisy, that is a sign of imminent failure
- check the belt itself
- brakes/ brake fluid
