Results from 100,000 maintenance

[Nigal]

Since my thread got zapped in The Great Crash of '09 I thought I'd post the results from my 100,000 maintenance. Even I was amazed. He did a radiator flush, tire rotation, alignment, checked the brakes and basically anything and everything else. The only thing that was worn and in need of replacing was my windshield wipers. He said the brakes looked good and didn't need changing but he did adjust them a little. I figured the brake pads needed changing at the least.

It's ready for the next 100,000 miles! :w00t:

Wow! This is GREAT news for the rest of us...

I recall reading this pre 10/18. While it is good to hear your 100,000 mile results, it does need to be noted that the average individual will require atleast 6 to 8 years to achieve this kind of milage.

The wear and tear conditions drastically differ between achieving 100,000 in short order, compared to 'normal' racking up of the miles.

I would still change the spark plugs at 100k even if they look like they have a tiny bit of life left. I dont like leaving plugs in for excessive milage as they have a chance of seizing up in the cylinder head.

I dont like leaving plugs in for excessive milage as they have a chance of seizing up in the cylinder head. even if they are iridium , you'll get deposits on the tips from additives , motor oil ( blow by past rings ) , etc.. They will wear and gap becomes larger making for pour firing . These conditions will decrease power and mileage . Had them change the iridium sparks in the 2000 Chevy PRIZM ( Corolla ) at around 90,000 miles and there was a noticeable increase in mileage and pickup . They do say 120,000 mile change , but that's stretching it a bit in my opinion .

Look at that Black Yaris, brake pads that lasted over 100,000 miles. Someone knows how to drive...

Nigal......

What had you replaced up until now? Tires? Brakes? etc?

[jamal1984]

sweet, my car has 50k now, and somehow the brake pad are look like new, have no ideas.

[nemelek]

30 years ago 100,000 miles was a huge milestone. Now it's nothing for a well built car.

[bzinn 1]

This gives me hope that my car is gonna last a long time.I always wanted a car that would go well over 100,000 miles and still be in good order.

Compared to most cars our car weighs next to nothing. Less weight requires less braking force less kenetic friction so our pads will last longer than a heaveier car. Also depends on the driver some also. If you like to slam on the brakes every stop light instead of comming to a slow stop to save gas then yeah you may not make it to 100k.

I drive my yaris very very hard. I dont plan on my brakes making it to 40k. My tires ill be lucky to get 10k miles. But im a mechanic and i get all parts wholesale from dealer or even cheaper aftermarket so dosnt bother me much. May plan to put on some performance pads and rotors when the time comes.

I have a short ram intake and this is the only mod.

The plugs did get changed. I forgot to add that to the list.

Tires and one set of wiper blades. That's it.

[battleversiontc]

damn where do you got to get that much miles racked up geeez but i goes to show that they do last a long time

[Bob_VT]

Tires and one set of wiper blades. That's it.

That's great. I am on a 3000+ mile a month pace and just wanted to check.

I will have about 20,000 miles on my car before it is even 1 year old. That's driving 50 miles a day 5 days a week to work. I said this on the other post before the hack, I used to work at a auto auction (2004) and there was a one year old at the time 2003 Ford F350 superduty with 350,000 miles on it. It ran pretty damn good for those miles.

[john21031]

I hope you had your thermostat and hoses changed. That's a milage dependent part. Also the belts.

[contraband831]

OK I just hit 100K today, so I will be changing the plugs, and i am buying new tires, i will also be ordering some Tokico Blues, but what else would you recommend? would you recommend a radiator or transmission flush? Or do i need to do anything to the fuel system? any suggestions appreciated.

Are you predicting something here?
as far as I knew it is still 2008

You are spreading untruths again.

In order for that truck to get 350,000 miles in one year, it would have to be driven nearly 1,000 miles every single day of a year.

I really doubt that was the case. :confused:
